Simpletine / CodeIgniter-4-HMVC

Implementing HMVC with CodeIgniter 4: In this approach, we group the Model-View-Controller components into packages called Modules, each acting as a self-contained unit of the application.

Route Group

After generate Blogs Module, add a route group for the module at App\Config\Routes.php

$routes->group(
    'blogs', ['namespace' => '\Modules\Blogs\Controllers'], function ($routes) {
        $routes->get('/', 'Blogs::index');
    }
);

PSR4

At App/Config/Autoload.php, you can configure your custom namespace:

public $psr4 = [
    // Sample
    "$module" => APPPATH . "$module",

    // Base on Example above
    "Blogs" => APPPATH . "Modules/Blogs", // Example 
    // ...
];
