Cygnite Framework User Guide

Models

What is Models ?

Your models classes will be stored in your models folder. Simply to say Models are just a class which interacts with your database and fetch you results to the controller or sometime optionally into your view page.

How to load a model ?

You can load your model into your controller as below -

$this->app()->model('users');
OR
Cygnite::loader()->model('users')->gettags();// If you autoloaded your models

How to load multiple models ?

Cygnite Framework also allow you to load multiple models on the fly.

For example -

$this->app()->model(array('users','category'));

The best way to load your models dynamically is autoloading into the configs/autoload.php. For more information have a look at the autoload guide.

The sample model class looks like follows-
 class Users extends CF_BaseModel
{
      public function __construct()
     {
          parent::__construct('cygnite');//your database name goes here
     }
        public function getdetails()
        {
        
        }

    }
  ?>

How to load and access model functions ?

Lets assume your model file name is usersmodel.php. Then you can load your model inside in your controller as bewlow-

    <?php
     class WelcomeuserAppsController extends CF_BaseController
     {
       public function __construct()
       {
          parent::__construct();
          // Load in constructor if you want to access it throughout the
          // controller else load it corresponding method based upon your needs.
          $this->app()->model('usersmodel');
       }
       
       public function action_index()
       {
           $this->app()->model('usersmodel');
           $userdetails =  $this->app()->usersmodel->getdetails();
           
           //Effecient way to access models functions
           $userdetails = Cygnite::loader()->model('users')->gettags();// If you autoloaded your models
           show($userdetails);
       }
       
     }
?>

How to access model functions in view page ?

Though its not good practice to call your model functions in your view page, Cygnite optionally allow you to do that. You can call your model function just like below - You can simply call the model in views to fetch data from db as follows -

  <html>
    <head>
    <title>Welcome to Cygnite Framewormk</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h2></h2>
    <div class="content">
       <h2>Hello World ! </h2>
       <?php
            $users = $this->usersmodel->getdetails(); // Call your model functions to fetch data from db
             $users = Cygnite::loader()->model('users')->gettags();
            show($users); // print your data into browser as formated output.
       ?>
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

These are basics of models. You can find more information about database queries and crud operation you can follow database user manual.
