$this->load->vars() in CI4 - objecttothis - 09-30-2021
I'm trying to convert an existing CI3.x application to CI4.x At the end of one of my controllers I am calling
PHP Code:
$data['user_info'] = $logged_in_employee_info;
$data['controller_name'] = $module_id;
$this->load->vars($data);
It's probably really obvious and I'm just missing it, but how do I need to convert $this->load->vars(); for use with CI4? I can't seem to find any documentation about it.
I looked here: https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/installation/upgrading.html and while that is extensive, there doesn't seem to be a master conversion table showing which functions go to what CI4 counterparts. I searched this forum and found someone complaining that CI4 doesn't have $this->load->vars() but didn't seem to find a clear alternative.

I believe the point of $this->load->vars() was to make it available to the views. No you can add data directly when you call the view() function.
PHP Code:
$data['user_info'] = $logged_in_employee_info;
$data['controller_name'] = $module_id;
echo view('dashboard', $data);

PHP Code:$data['user_info'] = $logged_in_employee_info;
$data['controller_name'] = $module_id;
echo view('dashboard', $data);
Not sure, but it seems to me that the solution is View::setData() and View::setVar() methods

The way I made it work in CI4 was to have a seperate view just for the data works fine.
This makes the variables avaible to all the views, create a blank view viewData.php and call it as the first view.
PHP Code:
echo view('viewData', $data);
echo view('viewMain');
Try that.
