In this video of CodeIgniter 4 From Scratch Series we will see what are the Model files, what CodeIgniter Models do, and how easy it is to access data from database using Model files.
To put it simple, Models in MVC pattern design are used for the following:
- Access Database
- Manipulate data inside Database
- In some cases Models are used for data validation
In CodeIgniter 4 you can create two types of models:
- Type 1 extends the CodeIgniter 4 Model class
- Type 2 is a simple Class that allows you to create more complex and more flexible methods
CodeIgniter 4 From Scratch Series, the series that are intended to help you get started with CodeIgniter 4 even if you have never worked with PHP frameworks before.
