Acessing Viewmodel from Controller

    How to forge Viewmodel  from Controller? I have ErrorException [Fatal Error ]: Class 'Viewmodel' not found

  • rizaadorizaado
    where to use this command Viewmodel::forge('index');
  • HarroHarro
    Is your controller in a namespace? If so you need to prefix it with a \ to force a load from the global namespace.

    So \Viewmodel::forge()...
  • rizaadorizaado
    Controller:
    class Controller_Index extends Controller
    {

        public function action_index()
        {
            return Viewmodel::forge('index');
        }
    }
    Viewmodel:
    class View_Index extends Viewmodel
    {

        public function view()
        {
            $this->title = 'Testing this Viewmodel thing';

            $this->articles = Model_Articles::find('all');
        }
    }
    View:
    <h1><?php echo $title; ?></h1>

    <ul>
    <?php
        foreach ($articles as $a)
        {
            echo '<li>'.$a->title.'</li>';
        }
    ?>
    </ul>

    ViewModel, not Viewmodel.
  • rizaadorizaado
    Viewmodel is in your documentation. http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/viewmodels.html
  • rizaadorizaado
    I said before that the documentation is puzzle for me.

    How to use Viewmodel with code?
  • HarroHarro
    I gave you an example a view posts back?
  • HarroHarro
    I need to check where the class name issue comes from.

    Fuel standard is that classnames are ucfirst(), so the docs are correct. But I see the welcome controller use ViewModel, which is odd...

    Was a bug in the autoloader, I have just fixed it in 1.8/develop. If you're on 1.7.x, you can just backport it from the repository.

    Thank you, it works but the FuelPhp community is going to prosper if you or someone repair the documentation. 
  • HarroHarro
    Docs are correct, the standard is ucfirst(), so it is "Viewmodel", not "ViewModel".

    The problem was that:
    a) the class itself is wrongly named ViewModel (for historic reasons, and never corrected)
    b) the autoloader was case-sensitive, which is wrong, because class names in PHP are not. Which is now fixed, so as of 1.7.2 this problem no longer exists.
