CodeIgniter Wizard Features and Screenshots

Doing What a Good Coder Would Do - Only way Faster

Every feature added to CodeIgniter Wizard was conceived and designed with the developer in mind in addressing a repetitive, time-consuming task, so that it could be delegated to the computer and let the developer focus on creativity than spending time on mundane coding tasks.

Features of CodeIgniter Wizard have been divided into three categories. Click each category title below to get detailed insights on the intelligent features.

Not only to just get the job done, but doing it automatically the way the developer would. Unlike most other code generators, CodeIgniter Wizard produces code which a human normally write using the best practices of the used framework. So what's the difference between a good developer and CodeIgniter Wizard? CodeIgniter Wiz does it correctly the first time and in seconds.

Code Quality

We are proud of the quality of the generated code, and you will be, too. After you're done creating your project in CodeIgniter Wizard, you can take it to your own develop environment, and add your custom development on top of it.

Or you can only copy the parts you see fit to your project from the generated web application, which will still save you a great deal of time than creating everything from scratch or duplicating from your previous project.

From CodeIgniter Wizard to your IDE

Hand-Over from CI Wizard

With version 1.3, we brought in RESTful Resource Controller generation and enabled datatables-based list views to be populated with lazy-loaded rows via server-side processing. Pagination, searching and filtering can now be done with AJAX calls. In cases where you have hundreds, or even thousands of records in a database table, the data can now be accessed with incredible performance.

Automatic recognition of enum fields, named route generation, quick date and time format switching are just to name a few...
