Code Completion with Codeigniter using Netbeans
Most programmers are lazy. If you're like me, you're lazy too. That's why I was so happy about using code completion with CodeIgniter using the Netbeans IDE.
Here's how you'd set it up
/**
* MY_Model
*
* @property CI_DB_active_record $db
*/
class MY_Model extends Model {
With the following code, you can now access the Active Record method and properties using Netbeans codecompletion. You'll just type in $this-> and a list of property shows up including $this->db.
Here's a little explanation.
CI_CD_active_record is the actual class we are accessing. the variable $db is the property you'll be using in the model (in this case).
Take note that you can do this also in the Controller. I highly suggest using a MY_Controller so that you just apply it once.
Another thing is that you'd have to set up a project in Netbeans.
Oh yeah, I have to thank softbas for this.

@Aaron. I don’t think this works with Eclipse. I can do some research on it and probably show it here.

Any idea if this works in Eclipse too?
