Accessing a model in a much used helper - sjender - 01-19-2022
Hi all,
I have this helper function which gets texts from a database to show on the website.
But I wonder if this can be optimized in terms of efficiency.
The getSiteText() function can be called many times on a single page.
Do I really need to call the TextModel every single time, or are there better ways?
PHP Code:
function getSiteText(string $textName): string
{
$textModel = new TextModel();
return $textModel->getText($textName);
}

Can you return the whole array and use it? What does "getText()"? I think for more abstraction we need more code.

You can use the model() function to work with a single instance of a model class.
