Codeigniter - 在我的库中加载模型

Question

I'm about to write my own library in codeigniter to check if the logged in user is an admin or not. To do that I need to compare a value with the value of the typeAccount in the DB. Because I'm still learning the MVC pattern I had a question about this before starting to write my library. Can I load a model in my library? Or should I communicate directly to my DB in my library? Or is there a better way to approach this?

Answer 1

Since the library is some kind of logic, you can see it as a piece of the Controller. The Controller usually just loads a Model to use it.

So yes just load the Model from CodeIgniter instead of connecting to the database yourself.

Makes your code more DRY too.
