CodeIgniter 4 Snippets

A Visual Studio Code extension providing a rich collection of snippets and autocomplete entries for CodeIgniter 4 development.

Overview

This extension accelerates CodeIgniter 4 development by offering:

• Class Scaffolding: Controllers, Models, Entities, Filters, Migrations, Seeders, etc.
• Helper Functions & Constants: env(), csrf_field(), CI_VERSION, APPPATH, and more.
• Query Builder API: $builder->where(), join(), groupBy(), limit(), etc.
• HTTP & Response: Request, Response, Redirect, Session, Cookie, and File handling snippets.
• Authentication & Routing: Simplify route_to(), $routes->get(), and related calls.
• Utility Classes: Time, Validation, Pagination, Image, Encryption, and Email helpers.

Instead of memorizing long method names, type a short prefix (e.g. ci:class:controller) and press Tab to expand.

Requirements

• CodeIgniter 4.3.0 or later
• Visual Studio Code 1.75.0 or later (or any compatible VS Code–based editor)

Installation

1. Open Visual Studio Code (or VSCodium, WindSurf, Cursor).
2. Navigate to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows/Linux or ⌘+Shift+X on macOS).
3. Search for CodeIgniter 4 Snippets or install from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
4. Reload the editor to activate the extension.

Usage

1. Open a PHP file within a CodeIgniter 4 project.

2. Type a snippet prefix, for example:

   ci:class:controller

3. Press Tab or Enter to expand into the full class boilerplate.

Snippet prefixes are organized by category:

Recommended Browser Extension

For developers who work with .vsix files for offline installations or distribution, the complementary One-Click VSIX extension is recommended, available for both Chrome and Firefox.

One-Click VSIX integrates a direct "Download Extension" button into each VSCode Marketplace page, ensuring the file is saved with the .vsix extension, even if the server provides a .zip archive. This simplifies the process of installing or sharing extensions offline by eliminating the need for manual file renaming.
