How to connect the startup database library - evgeny - 02-02-2017
Hello.
How to connect the startup database library in file autoload.php
RE: How to connect the startup database library - Wouter60 - 02-02-2017
PHP Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');
After you've done that, you're ready to go!

In CI4, you don't autoload things in the same way as previous versions, since we now have a PSR4-compliant autoloader built in. As per the docs, whenever you need a database connection, you simply grab it:
Code:
$db = \Config\Database::connect();You can do that in your controller constructor, if you like to have it available for every method. Or in a BaseController that your controllers extend from.

I'm sorry. I overlooked that it was in the CodeIgniter 4 Support forum.

Dear all,
I use a lot CI , looking now to CI4 ... I clearly understand I can connect by adding this in the controller constructor. But I want to connect db only one time for my whole app. Somewhere like a general autoload for the connect db
if Someone can tell me where I can do that like in the "old" CI.
Thanks by advance.
