Build My Own Addin - jamierc80 - 12-18-2016
Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if people could point me in the direction of a good article/tutorial for creating an addin for CI 3?
Many thanks
Jamie

That all depends on what you want to make.

A couple of ideas for standard functionality I always build in
1, User Authentication based on Roles
2, Front end includes - JS, CSS etc

It sounds like what you're looking for has already been made individually.
You could package your favorite Auth system and Template Engine/Asset manager...
It'll still depend if you want to create an HMVC module, a helper, or something else. My advice is to figure out more specifically what you want and search google for ideas on that particular subject.

Ok thanks, I've have been googling a bit more and thinks it's more of a library/helper that I need for bootstrap elements.

often what I do is create a config file for the frontend framework. So, for bootstrap, I create bootstrap.php and put it in applications/config/bootstrap.php
Then add it to the /application/config/autoload.php file.
In the bootstrap.php file, I have all the possible bootstrap changes.
PHP Code:
<?php
// application/config/bootstrap.php
// make sure it's autoloaded in /application/config/autoload.php
$config["full_tag_open"] = '<ul class="pagination">';
$config["full_tag_close"] = '</ul>';
$config["first_link"] = "«";
$config["first_tag_open"] = "<li>";
$config["first_tag_close"] = "</li>";
$config["last_link"] = "»";
$config["last_tag_open"] = "<li>";
$config["last_tag_close"] = "</li>";
$config['next_link'] = '>';
$config['next_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$config['next_tag_close'] = '<li>';
$config['prev_link'] = '<';
$config['prev_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$config['prev_tag_close'] = '<li>';
$config['cur_tag_open'] = '<li class="active"><a href="#">';
$config['cur_tag_close'] = '</a></li>';
$config['num_tag_open'] = '<li>';
$config['num_tag_close'] = '</li>';
Once you've added all the easy stuff like this, then you could build your library to cover the things the bootstrap config file doesn't cover.
