Expanding a Custom CodeIgniter Library with Method Chaining (Page 1 of 4 )
Naturally, if you already read the preceding article of the series, at this point you have a clearer idea of how to apply the method chaining approach to building a customized model class for CodeIgniter. In that tutorial I started to create such a class. It had the ability to fetch and insert/update the records of an associated database table through a few methods, some of which were chainable.
However, as you might have guessed, this CodeIgniter class has a rather limited functionality in its current state. Therefore, in this tutorial of the series I’m going to add more methods to it, which will permit it to delete database rows, as well as build different portions of SELECT statements. And guess what? These last methods will be chainable too!
Now, it’s time to begin coding the methods for this custom CodeIgniter library. Let’s jump in!
