View Component - SubrataJ - 10-22-2022
is there any way we can make a reusable component of a specific part of HTML and use it throughout the application?
I have heard rumors that it is possible but I have had a hard time finding an article on the same on the web.
Thank you in Advance, Keep Grinding

if you use the approach of "layout" in your views , then you can create for want of a better word , chunks of html which can be inserted into a single main web page
So in my case my view "layout" contains the header(with links to css , bootstrap etc ) , main middle section where different content is inserted and footer(also containing jquery ) in the middle it has
Code:
<?= $this->renderSection('content') ?>each different "chunk" of html will be in the form :
Code:
<?= $this->extend('layout') ?>
<?= $this->section('content') ?>
<!-- you can even inject content into chunks of html that will extend tyhe main lay out using line below-->
<?= $this->include('carousel') ?>
<!-- in the above i inject a chunk which uses bootstrap carousel-->
<!-- all html content here-->
<?= $this->endSection() ?>RE: View Component - kenjis - 10-22-2022
CI4 has View Cells.
See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/outgoing/view_cells.html

@captain-sensible thanks for the reply but I am already aware of the rendersection..
Thank you @kenjis for now this looks pretty promising to me after going through the documentation. i will give it a shot

Cells and layouts are both parts of the puzzle. If you don't need any logic with the HTML chunks, you could just store them as a separate view and include them wherever you need them.

Thanks for the insights.
