Entity class not working on 2 module

hi all,

i recently implement entity to my project, i successfull setup it to work with the backend module, but when i call that model in the frontend module, it does not return an entity object, i return the normal object. Here is my project structure and code

my folder structure 


when i run and debug the code in acp module

as you can see, i got my post item return successfully in entity object

but when i call it in my site module

it does not return entity object but a normal object, does any one have this problem? or i missing something?

Your not giving enough information like what is site a module?

If your calling a Site Module then you need to tell it where the Entity is.

use app/Modules/Acp/Entities/entityName;

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

use app/Modules/Acp/Entities/entityName;

as i mention in my structure, acp is a module stand for admin panel and site is a module stand for frontend

in both controller acp/post and site/post i use just 1 model: Modules\Acp\Models\PostModel; ( as you can see in the 2,3 picture )

and there are 2 different result, the result in Acp/post controller give me the entity object but the result in Site/post controller return the normal object

Our you defining the use clause like I showed?

If the Entity is in the acp then the use clause should be like below.

Site/Post controller
use app/Modules/Acp/Entities/entityName;
use app/Modules/Acp/Models/PostModel;

Is that how you have your Site controller?

use app/Modules/Acp/Entities/entityName;
use app/Modules/Acp/Models/PostModel;

yes, you're right, in my Site/Controller i used: use app/Modules/Acp/Models/PostModel; and call that model to load data

and in my postModel code i return Entity class, my code is like this:

PHP Code:

namespace Modules\Acp\Models;

use CodeIgniter\Model;
use Modules\Acp\Entities\Post;

class PostModel extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'post';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';

    protected $returnType = Post::class;
    protected $useSoftDeletes = true; 


With this code when i call the model in Acp/Controller it successfully return the Entity class

I also try to create new PostModel in Site/Model and new Entity in Site/Entities, my new model code is like:

PHP Code:

namespace Modules\Site\Models;

use CodeIgniter\Model;
use Modules\Site\Entities\Post;

class PostModel extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'post';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';

    protected $returnType  = 'Modules\Site\Entities\Post';
    protected $useSoftDeletes = true; 


but when i try to call the new model it does not return the entity object, i got the same problem as above. I dont know what wrong...

To me it looks like your name space is off because your Modules folder is under the app folder.

PHP Code:

namespace Modules\Site\Models;

// should be
namespace app\Modules\Site\Models; 


So all your namespaces and use clauses should start with app\

that namespace work perfect with my acp and other stuff, because i declare my module in my autoload like this:

PHP Code:

$psr4 = [
            'App'         => APPPATH,                // To ensure filters, etc still found,
            APP_NAMESPACE => APPPATH,                // For custom namespace
            'Config'      => APPPATH . 'Config',
            'Modules\Site' => APPPATH . 'Modules/Site',
            'Modules\Acp' => APPPATH . 'Modules/Acp',
            'Modules\Auth' => APPPATH . 'Modules/Auth',
        ]; 


Then I it looks like you may have found a bug in the Entities, I would file an issue
on GitHub for it.

i also think my Entities have problem, so i double check it and run debug, but there's no problem on it, because the entities work good when i call it in Modules\Acp, all function work well in it

It just have the problem when i use in Modules\Site
