CRUD with Ci 1.7

[quote author="Colin Williams" date="1234667354"]But you can set up some conventions in your models that do expedite some repetitive tasks that are outside the realm of the database class.[/quote]

For example, I usually use this code to keep from testing for valid results in all my models.

Code:

function __construct() {

    parent::Model();

    //Set the forum table names
    $this->_tables = array(
        'users' =>'users',
        'posts' => 'user_posts',
        'topics' => 'user_topics'
    );

}

/**
* Get the result object - or fail
* Helps with "DRY" code
* @return object
*/
protected function _get($t='users') {

    //If a name was given
    $result = $this->db->get($t ? $this->_tables[$t] : NULL);
    
    //If not found - return false
    if(!$result->num_rows()) {
        return FALSE;
    }
    return $result;
}


//Example 1
function fetch_users() {
    return $this->_get('users');
}
