CodeIgniter3.1-starter4

This project can be used as a starter for a webapp built with CodeIgniter 3.1.

This starter builds on CodeIgniter3.1-starter3, adding an entity model and enhancing the collection models to use it.

This starter adds a rich persistent data abstraction, initially in the form of the CSV_Model.

An example, using menu items at a fast food place...

data/menuitems.csv:

id,name,category,price
BM,Big Mac,entree,5.25
MF,Medium fried,side,2.00
LF,Large fries,side,3.00

application/models/themenu.php:

class Themenu extends CSV_Model {
  function __construct() {
    parent::__construct('../data/menuitems.csv','id');
  }
}

Usage inside some controller, taking advantage of the DataMapper interface implemented by the CSV_Model...

$this->load->model('themenu;);
$all_the_items = $this->themenu->all();
...
// get all of the entrees
$subset = $this->themenu->where('category','entree');
...
