<h1>Creating Core System Classes</h1> |
|
59 |
||
60 |
<p>Every time CodeIgniter runs there are several base classes that are initialized automatically as part of the core framework. |
|
61 |
It is possible, however, to swap any of the core system classes with your own versions or even extend the core versions.</p> |
|
62 |
||
63 |
<p><strong>Most users will never have any need to do this, |
|
64 |
but the option to replace or extend them does exist for those who would like to significantly alter the CodeIgniter core.</strong> |
|
65 |
</p> |
|
66 |
||
67 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Messing with a core system class has a lot of implications, so make sure you |
|
68 |
know what you are doing before attempting it.</p> |
|
69 |
||
70 |
||
71 |
<h2>System Class List</h2> |
|
72 |
||
73 |
<p>The following is a list of the core system files that are invoked every time CodeIgniter runs:</p> |
|
74 |
||
75 |
<ul> |
|
76 |
<li>Benchmark</li> |
|
77 |
<li>Config</li> |
|
78 |
<li>Controller</li> |
|
79 |
<li>Exceptions</li> |
|
80 |
<li>Hooks</li> |
|
81 |
<li>Input</li> |
|
82 |
<li>Language</li> |
|
83 |
<li>Loader</li> |
|
84 |
<li>Log</li> |
|
85 |
<li>Output</li> |
|
86 |
<li>Router</li> |
|
87 |
<li>URI</li> |
|
88 |
<li>Utf8</li> |
|
89 |
</ul> |
|
90 |
||
91 |
<h2>Replacing Core Classes</h2> |
|
92 |
||
93 |
<p>To use one of your own system classes instead of a default one simply place your version inside your local <dfn>application/core</dfn> directory:</p> |
|
94 |
||
95 |
<code>application/core/<dfn>some-class.php</dfn></code> |
|
96 |
||
97 |
<p>If this directory does not exist you can create it.</p> |
|
98 |
||
99 |
<p>Any file named identically to one from the list above will be used instead of the one normally used.</p> |
|
100 |
||
101 |
<p>Please note that your class must use <kbd>CI</kbd> as a prefix. For example, if your file is named <kbd>Input.php</kbd> the class will be named:</p> |
|
102 |
||
103 |
<code> |
|
104 |
class CI_Input {<br /><br />
|
|
105 |
||
106 |
} |
|
107 |
</code> |
|
108 |
||
109 |
||
110 |
||
111 |
<h2>Extending Core Class</h2> |
|
112 |
||
113 |
<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing library - perhaps add a function or two - then |
|
114 |
it's overkill to replace the entire library with your version. In this case it's better to simply extend the class. |
|
115 |
Extending a class is nearly identical to replacing a class with a couple exceptions:</p> |
|
116 |
||
117 |
<ul> |
|
118 |
<li>The class declaration must extend the parent class.</li> |
|
119 |
<li>Your new class name and filename must be prefixed with <kbd>MY_</kbd> (this item is configurable. See below.).</li> |
|
120 |
</ul> |
|
121 |
||
122 |
<p>For example, to extend the native <kbd>Input</kbd> class you'll create a file named <dfn>application/core/</dfn><kbd>MY_Input.php</kbd>, and declare your class with:</p> |
|
123 |
||
124 |
<code> |
|
125 |
class MY_Input extends CI_Input {<br /><br />
|
|
126 |
||
127 |
}</code> |
|
128 |
||
129 |
<p>Note: If you need to use a constructor in your class make sure you extend the parent constructor:</p> |
|
130 |
||
131 |
<code> |
|
132 |
class MY_Input extends CI_Input {<br />
|
|
133 |
<br /> |
|
134 |
function __construct()<br /> |
|
135 |
{<br /> |
|
136 |
parent::__construct();<br /> |
|
137 |
}<br /> |
|
138 |
}</code> |
|
139 |
||
140 |
<p class="important"><strong>Tip:</strong> Any functions in your class that are named identically to the functions in the parent class will be used instead of the native ones |
|
141 |
(this is known as "method overriding"). |
|
142 |
This allows you to substantially alter the CodeIgniter core.</p> |
|
143 |
||
144 |
<p>If you are extending the Controller core class, then be sure to extend your new class in your application controller's constructors.</p> |
|
145 |
||
146 |
<code>class Welcome extends MY_Controller {<br /> |
|
147 |
<br /> |
|
148 |
function __construct()<br /> |
|
149 |
{<br /> |
|
150 |
parent::__construct();<br /> |
|
151 |
}<br /> |
|
152 |
<br /> |
|
153 |
function index()<br /> |
|
154 |
{<br /> |
|
155 |
$this->load->view('welcome_message');<br /> |
|
156 |
}<br /> |
|
157 |
}</code> |
|
158 |
||
159 |
<h3>Setting Your Own Prefix</h3> |
|
160 |
||
161 |
<p>To set your own sub-class prefix, open your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file and look for this item:</p> |
|
162 |
||
163 |
<code>$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';</code> |
|
164 |
||
165 |
<p>Please note that all native CodeIgniter libraries are prefixed with <kbd>CI_</kbd> so DO NOT use that as your prefix.</p> |
