bitmannl / codeigniter-modular-extensions example snippets

     
	class Xyz extends MX_Controller 
	{
		$autoload = array(
			'helper'    => array('url', 'form'),
			'libraries' => array('email'),
		);
	}

The Modules::$locations array may be set in the application/config.php file. ie:

    :::php
    
    $config['modules_locations'] = array(
        APPPATH.'modules/' => '../modules/',
    );

Modules::run() output is buffered, so any data returned or output directly from the controller is caught and 
returned to the caller. In particular, $this->load->view() can be used as you would in a normal controller, without the need for return.

Controllers can be loaded as class variables of other controllers using $this->load->module('module/controller'); 
or simply $this->load->module('module'); if the controller name matches the module name.

Any loaded module controller can then be used like a library, ie: $this->controller->method(), but it has access to its own models and libraries independently from the caller.

All module controllers are accessible from the URL via module/controller/method or simply module/method if the module and controller names match.
If you add the _remap() method to your controllers you can prevent unwanted access to them from the URL and redirect or flag an error as you like.

### Notes:

To use HMVC functionality, such as Modules::run(), controllers must extend the MX_Controller class.

To use Modular Separation only, without HMVC, controllers will extend the CodeIgniter Controller class.

You must use PHP5 style constructors in your controllers. ie:

    :::php
    
	class Xyz extends MX_Controller 
	{
		function __construct()
		{
			parent::__construct();
		}
	}

Constructors are not ature allows you to freely extend your controllers, models and libraries from 
application/core or application/libraries base classes without the need to specifically include or
