Where to put message file in codeigniter4?

I want to create a separate file called custom_message.php. What will be the location of this file in CI4 project structure and how to call in controller.

Example:

Code:

$arr_custom_message = [

'msg_add' => 'Admin Created!',
'msg_update' => 'Updated Successfully!'

];

You can create your own folder under the app folder

app/Messages

And place your files there.

Thanks!

Don't forget you can also have your own Modules.

Hi. For simple messages like this you can use config file dedicated to messages.


Create: App/Config/CustomMessages.php

PHP Code:

<?php

namespace Config;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;

class CustomMessages extends BaseConfig
{
    public $add = 'Admin Created!';
    public $update = 'Updated Successfully!';
} 


Usage in your controller:

PHP Code:

// ...

$msg = config('CustomMessages');
echo $msg->add;
echo '<br>';
echo $msg->update;

// ... 


suggesting using language file is easier.

create file in folder folder:
App\Language\en\message.php

File content:

return [
'add' => 'Admin Created!',
'update' => Updated Successfully!'
];

calling:
<?=lang('message.add')?>

<?=lang('message.update')?>

* language/localization is flexible, can pass value to message

This from guide:

Code:

<?php

// The language file, Tests.php:
return [
    'apples'      => 'I have {0, number} apples.',
    'men'         => 'The top {1, number} men out-performed the remaining {0, number}',
    'namedApples' => 'I have {number_apples, number, integer} apples.',
];

// Displays "I have 3 apples."
echo lang('Tests.apples', [3]);
