One of the drawback on CodeIgniter is the Scaffolding Class which is only suitable for testing or development stage. In order to do the same functionality you might find in other PHP Framework for CRUD you have to combine few available libraries in CodeIgniter including Table, Pagination, Form Validation and etc. All the libraries are great but you will end up having to write a long list of function and code to do still CRUD process.
To make the learning process much easier to understand I would actually try to convert CodeIgniter From Scratch: Day 5 – CRUD from Nettuts+ from using available libraries to Ext.CodeIgniter CRUD Library.
Requirements and Basic Informations
- is based and developed on CodeIgniter 1.7.1, it might work with previous version but please do test it out first.
- requires Table, Pagination, Form (Ext.CodeIgniter Library), Form Validation libraries and Form helper.
- callback can be optimized with Template Library for Ext.CodeIgniter.
- your model code can be minimized with ActiveRecord, you may require more works if using raw SQL.
