How to get method name in view ? - sknair143 - 09-04-2023
Hello,
I want to get the method name in the view to display a CSS class based on that.
I have a method like "employees/documents" (Employees - Controller, Documents - method)
In view how i can get the method name "documents" ?, is there any built-in function from codeigniter ?
Right now i created custom_helper.php :
PHP Code:
<?php
if (!function_exists("get_url")) {
function get_url(): string
{
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$exp = explode("/", $url);
return $exp[3];
}
}
and in view
Code:
<?php echo (get_url() == 'documents') ? 'active' : ''; ?>This works !, but if any parameters come witht this url, i need to edit again. is there any alternative way which you can suggest ?

You can get it from the router.
PHP Code:
\Config\Services::router()->methodName()

PHP Code:\Config\Services::router()->methodName()
Can i call this directly from view or i have to add in custom_helper code ?

I recommend you create a custom helper.
Then, if the behavior of the router changes, you will need to update the helper code only.

Okay, thanks.

Here's a quick helper to get you going.
PHP Code:
<?php
/**
* getControllerName ()
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
if ( ! function_exists('getControllerName'))
{
/**
* getControllerName ()
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* @return string
*/
function getControllerName() : string
{
$router = service('router');
return $router->controllerName();
}
}
/**
* getMethodName ()
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
if ( ! function_exists('getMethodName'))
{
/**
* getMethodName ()
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* @return string
*/
function getMethodName() : string
{
$router = service('router');
return $router->methodName();
}
}
// End of utility_helper Helper.
