Efficiently managing database queries is crucial for application performance. To simplify it, I made a nice CodeIgniter 4 library that provides two techniques for loading related data: eager loading and lazy loading. composer require michalsn/codeigniter-nested-model These approaches allow developers to fetch related models in an efficient and intuitive way. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding and using these techniques. Eager Loading Eager loading fetches related data in advance, minimizing the number of database queries. To implement eager loading, you must define the relations between your models. ...
In a traditional CodeIgniter 4 application, setting up alerts is quite simple. We can simply write a few lines of code or use a dedicated library like codeigniter4-alerts. Things get complicated, however, when we use htmx and want the alerts to interact with the way it works. Here a library dedicated to work with htmx can come to the rescue. Installation Installation via composer is very simple: composer require michalsn/codeigniter-htmx-alerts Next, we can add a container in which alerts will be displayed in our view (or main layout). ...
Markdown Pages project allows you to map Markdown files to collections and easily list or read data from them.
