CodeIgniter Wizard CRUD generator for the Mac Updated

Some news which Mac users might like.

CodeIgniter Wizard, the CRUD code generator for Mac is now at version 1.4.1. 

The first time I had ever mentioned this application, it was already capable of detecting table prefixes and naming scaffolded models, entities and controllers accordingly, generating code for many-to-one relationships between entity models either automatically if foreign keys were defined in the underlying database, or manually by pointing and clicking a triplet of dropdown menus.

Since then some cool features have been added such as changing the order of fields/columns by drag-and-drop in the editor.

Unlike most code generators, CI Wizard does not rely on any custom heavy-weight library and crptic code that needs to be included in every created project.

In database-first development approach, you create MVC classes (including CodeIgniter entities) by reading existing database tables. What happens if you need to change the table columns, add or delete fields or change field types in MySQL, after you generated code? As of version 1.3.8, CodeIgniter Wizard can automatically detect those changes and adapt the previously generated code to the new table structure.

Several weeks ago, a new demonstration video was created demonstrating the creation of a CodeIgniter 4 web application reverse-engineering the famous Sakila sample movie database created by MySQL.dev:

Opinions, comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
