Do CodeIgniter 4 model instances already have Query Builder methods loaded? - tarcisiodev1 - 06-09-2024

When I instantiate a model in CodeIgniter 4, does it already have the Query Builder methods loaded, or is there a better way to access them?

You usually do not have to load them manually. No matter whether I use

Code:
$model = model('App\Model\MyModel::class);

$model->find($id);

$model->where('id>',100)->get()->getResult();

or a ResourcePresenter which includes the model

Code:
protected $modelName = "App\Model\MyModel";

...

$this->model->find($id);

$this->model->where('id>',100)->get()->getResult();

I could always directly use the query builder.
