10 Awesome CodeIgniter libraries you need to embark on your next project


1. grocery CRUD


GroceryCrud

grocery CRUD is a library that makes a developer's life easier. Just few lines of code and you can create a full stable CRUD with nice views. A totally automatic system that even a newbie in PHP can work with.

As a php web developer you will often have the problem to create a simple, stable and secure backoffice system. How many CRUD different did you create for you customers? I suppose many . How much time did you spend to create them? It actually takes a lot of time (sometimes weeks) to create all the business logic, the models and the views again from the beginning for each table. As you can see there are similar things in those projects. The Create (or else Add) the Update (or else Edit) , the Delete and of course the listing grid .

With grocery CRUD and with the power of Codeigniter framework , you can create a full CRUD system in just one minute. With this Codeigniter CRUD generator , you don't have to copy all your css, JavaScripts, tables, forms, grid, functions , models, libraries, views again and again to your backoffice system. Just few lines of code and you are ready to have your own CMS. The CRUD is working well with Codeigniter 2.0.x and 2.1.x

2. CodeIgniter Template library

Template Library

CodeIgniter-Template is a Template library that helps your build complex views with CodeIgniter. It has logic to work with themes & modules(which i personally like) and helps add your title, meta-data, breadcrumbs and partial views.

3. HybridAuth

HybridAuth

HybridAuth enable developers to easily build social applications to engage websites vistors and customers on a social level by implementing social signin, social sharing, users profiles, friends list, activities stream, status updates and more.

HybridAuth goal is to act as an abstract api between your application and various social apis and identities providers such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Google.

4.  Cjax Ajax Framework


Cjax Ajax Framework

Cjax is an MVC (Model-View-Controller) oriented, lightweight (>100kb) ajax framework aimed at PHP applications/sites. It allows you to literally execute JavaScript with PHP.

Cjax is self explanatory, just by looking at the syntax you can tell right away what is it doing, and what's best about it is that, that's all there is to it; there is no Javascript to produce or inline codes in your html, just plain and simple PHP, Cjax takes care of the rest through its sofisticated data processor.

5. Image Moo - Image manipulation library

image_moo

The CI library for image manipulation is great, but Mat found it awkward to use when doing multiple processes. So He wrote his own library. It is limited to PHP 5 and GD2 only but its great!.

6. Simple Assets Library


A simple assets library that has the ability to combine and minify your JavaScript and CSS assets. Additionally there's a LessCSS compiler and a CoffeeScript compiler.

7. Datamapper ORM

DataMapper is an Object Relational Mapper written in PHP for CodeIgniter. It is designed to map your Database tables into easy to work with objects, fully aware of the relationships between each other.

8. Ion Auth 2

Redux Auth 2 had a lot of potential. It's lightweight, simple, and clean, but had a ton of bugs and was missing some key features. So we refactored the code and added new features.

This version drops any backwards compatibility and makes things even more awesome then you could expect.

9. Facebook Ignited

An open source extension and wrapper for the Facebook PHP SDK contained within a CodeIgniter Library. It takes several common functionalities in the Facebook Documentation and creates methods for the user to quickly code a Facebook Site or Application with the ease of CodeIgniter. This thread will be the technical discussion and request thread for the project and will contain posts for when new versions are released. This project will be continually maintained unless specifically stated otherwise in this thread. Taking that into consideration please keep in mind that there may be undetermined periods of time between releases dependent on the releases of Facebook PHP SDK, CodeIgniter and/or Feature Requests from the community.

10. CI-Merchant: A CodeIgniter PHP Payments Library

CI-Merchant is a driver-based payment processing library built specifically for use in CodeIgniter web applications. It allows you to integrate any supported payment gateway using a consistent API. It was originally developed as part of Expresso Store, an e-commerce module for ExpressionEngine, and is now used on hundreds of e-commerce sites worldwide.
