Informations about the package ci4-pages
ci4-pages
ci4-pages is a package for CodeIgniter 4 that provides a page-based routing mechanism. This package simplifies routing management with a file-based and folder-structured approach, making it suitable for projects requiring dynamic routing. Think of it as similar to Next.js or Laravel Folio but maintaining the coding style unique to CodeIgniter 4.
Installation
Install this package via Composer with the following command:
Configuration
Register the pageview_helper in app/Controllers/BaseController.php
Usage
Create a folder named app/Pages/. This folder will be used to store all your page controller files.
Each folder inside app/Pages/ will represent a page route. For example, the folder app/Pages/home will be accessible at domain.com/home. Similarly, the folder app/Pages/profile/achievement/ will be accessible at domain.com/profile/achievement/.
There is one mandatory file that must exist in the pages folder, namely PageController.php, which will handle page requests. Besides that, you can create other .php files for views and so on.
Let's look at an example code below:
app/Pages/home/PageController.php
app/Pages/home/index.php
In the example above, we created two files. The first is PageController.php, a controller class with one method getIndex(). This method handles requests to mydomain.com/home or mydomain.com/home/index.
The getIndex() method can have parameters that capture the URI segment after the page segment. For instance, in the example above, you can call domain.com/home/Toni or domain.com/home/index/Toni, where the string 'Toni' will be received by the $name parameter of the getIndex() method.
In the example above, the getIndex() method returns the output of the pageView() function. This function is similar to view() in CodeIgniter but is adjusted to accept the path of the view file located under the app/Pages/ folder. return pageView('home/index', $data); means it returns the view file app/Pages/home/index.php.
In addition to the getIndex() method, you can also create other methods i.e. getDetail() or postInsert(). Only methods whose names start with an HTTP verb can handle HTTP requests. The method naming mechanism in this controller is the same as the Auto Route (improved) provided by CodeIgniter 4. Method getDetail() for example, can be accessed from mydomain.com/home/detail/[id].
API Endpoint
You can also return RESTful responses by adding the ResponseTrait to the controller class.
app/Pages/home/PageController.php
For more information about the API Response Trait, refer to the CodeIgniter documentation here: API Responses Trait.
Combination with Manual Routes
You can still use the Manual Route mechanism alongside the Auto Route (Improved) provided by CodeIgniter 4 in conjunction with this page-based routing. The execution order of the routers is [manual route] - [page-based route] - [auto route].
Page Template Generator
You can run this spark command to create a new page folder and files:
This command will create a new page folder with its sample controller and view file.
