File and class names - Waithere - 12-26-2019
Hi all,
I have a question (actually more than one, but let's start with this...) about the nomenclature of files and classes in CI4.
Controllers, docs give two version with and without "Controller" termination:
PHP Code:
// Case 1
//https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/incoming/controllers.html
class Name extends Controller {} // Using Name.php
// Case 2
//https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/libraries/pagination.html
class NameController extends Controller {} // Using NameController.php
It is the same, or just a doc error?
For the model I can see only the "NameModel" version using NameModel.php
For the entity only the "Name" version:
PHP Code:
// https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/models/entities.html
class Name extends Entity {} // Using Name.php
I can use all like this:
- NameController extends...
- NameModel extends...
- NameEntity extends...
without problems?
Thank you!

Yes, you are free to name them however you would like.

Just make sure that the first character is uppercase.
