Hello World Site Side

Creata a model /workspace/site/models/StaffModel.php. It is recommended to always suffix models with the word Model.


<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace workspace\site\models;

use nicotine\Model;

// Note that the filename and class has the same name, 
// and it is a good practice to suffix them with "Model" word.
class StaffModel extends Model {

    public function getMembers()
    {
        return $this->db->getAll("SELECT * FROM `staff`");
    }
}

Create a controller /workspace/site/controllers/Staff.php. Don't suffix the controller with the word Controller. It will appear in the URL!


<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace workspace\site\controllers;

use nicotine\Controller;

// Optional but very useful. This holds all framework instances.
use nicotine\Registry;

// Same as file name. E.g. /workspace/site/controllers/Staff.php
class Staff extends Controller {

    // Optional.
    public function __construct()
    {
        // If you use class constructor, don't forget parent constructor.
        parent::__construct();

        // Do you want to use same layout for all controller actions?
        // Of course, you can set the layout custom, inside each method (aka action).
        $this->proxy->layout = 'layout-file';
    }

    public function listMembers($httpParamExample = '')
    {
        // Call the method getMembers() from the /workspace/site/models/StaffModel.php
        $staffMembers = $this->proxy->site->model('StaffModel')->getMembers();

        $this->proxy->view(
            // Set the view to be /workspace/site/views/staff/list.php
            'staff/list', 

            // Set into view the property $this->vars->staffMembers
            compact('staffMembers')
        );
    }
}

Create a layout /workspace/site/layouts/layout-file.php. This layout can hold multiple views, accross HTTP requests.


<!DOCTYPE html>
    ...
    <?php print $this->contentForLayout; ?>
    ...
...

Create a view /workspace/site/views/staff/list.php.


<?php foreach ($this->vars->staffMembers as $staffMember) { ?>
    <p>Staff ID = <?php print $staffMember['id']; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
