How to use two models in a controller - hoffmanchan - 05-11-2020
Hello everyone, this is about codeigniter 4.
I wanta use two models in a controller. But I have no idea how to solve it. Any suggestion for me please ?
PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use App\Models\CompanyModel;
use App\Models\AuthenticationModel;
class Login extends BaseController
{
protected $request;
protected $companyModel;
protected $authenticationModel;
public function __construct()
{
// Call the Model constructor
$this->request = service('request');
$this->companyModel = new CompanyModel();
}
public function index()
{
$data = [
'name' => $this->companyModel->name()
];
echo view('authentication', $data);
}
public function process()
{
$this->authenticationModel = new AuthenticationModel();
$username = $this->request->getPost('username');
$password = $this->request->getPost('password');
$boolen = $this->authenticationModel->authentication($username, $password);
return $boolen;
}
}
RE: How to use two models in a controller - kilishan - 05-11-2020
Your example works just fine. Personally, I'd use the model() helper just to ensure I don't get more than 1 instance of the model created, but what you've done works fine.
EDIT:
if you're just using a model in a single method, there's no need to assign it to $this, just use a local variable:
PHP Code:
$authenticationModel = new AuthenticationModel();
$username = $this->request->getPost('username');
$password = $this->request->getPost('password');
$boolen = $authenticationModel->authentication($username, $password);

kilishan, thank for your reply. I will edit about this ~
