Extending The Model

[crustamet]

i dont really understand how this model really works besides the basic stuff that all frameworks has.

I can no longer make the business logic in the models
I dont have a good example how an many to many relationship works.

Example :
table : UserModel.
foreign_table : UserCommentsModel.

I need a way based on those two models somehow to retrieve all the info without recoding all the functions.

Do Codeigniter members agree that we need an ORM like MODEL ?
Or it is just me wanting this feature inside CI4 ?

This is probably better suited for the forums, GitHub is for issues and bugs. I think the decision was that CI4 won’t have ORM as part of its core, but there are a couple projects to extend CI4 for such functionality. Here is one from the forums:
