CodeIgniter Wizard

[edit]

CodeIgniter Wizard is a macOS-based low-code code generation tool designed for creating web applications that use version 4.x of the open-source CodeIgniter framework. It automates the generation of PHP code modules based on the structure of MySQL and MariaDB databases, focusing on CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations and common application features.

Features

[edit]

CodeIgniter Wizard includes the following capabilities:

  • Database Integration: Reads MySQL and MariaDB databases to generate PHP code modules based on database schemas.
  • User Management: Automatically generates user authentication and authorization systems using either CodeIgniter Shield or Myth Auth based on the user's choice.
  • CRUD code: Creates the necessary code for creating, reading, updating and deleting records on the database.
  • File Handling: Creates components for file and image uploads, including pre-programmed resizing of uploaded images.
  • Framework Compatibility: Designed for CodeIgniter 4, aligning with contemporary PHP standards.

The tool provides a user-friendly interface to configure and export project components, aiming to simplify repetitive coding tasks while allowing for additional customization.

Availability

[edit]

CodeIgniter Wizard can be downloaded from the Mac App Store.[1]

Reception

[edit]

The tool has received attention from developers within the CodeIgniter [2]community, with discussions on platforms like the CodeIgniter Forums and MacUpdate as well as counter-reviews on AlternativeTo. Mentions highlight its ease of use for developers working within the CodeIgniter framework but note its opinionated UI output limited to Bootstrap 5 and Bootstrap 4-based templates.

[edit]

CodeIgniter Wizard is part of a broader category of framework-specific low-code tools designed to simplify web application development.
