Best method of including views within views in CodeIgniter

Question

I\'m starting a large codeigniter project and would like to try to create some reusable \'mini\' views for snippets of content like loops of data which may be displayed on d

Answer 1

METHOD 1

I use this method into my view to insert the include view where I want

$this->load->view('include/include_view');

METHOD 2

or in the controller you can load more than a view like this:

$this->load->view('header_view');
$this->load->view('list_view');
$this->load->view('footer_view');

No one method is better than the other, it depends if you have to pass some data (in this case use method2) or if you want to include a view in a specific part of your main view (in this case is better to use method1)

METHOD 3

Passing data to your include view by your main view

into your controller:

$data['title'] = "Title";
$this->load->view('main_view',$data);

in your view

$data2['title'] = $title;
$this->load->view('include/include_view',$data2);

If you want to pass entire data to your include view you can do in this way: in your controller:

$data['nestedView']['title'] = 'title';

in your view

$this->load->view('includes/included_view', $nestedView);
