CodeIgniter HMVC：扩展库还是创建全局控制器？

Question

I've started using HMVC in Codeigniter with Modular Extension and i want to create a set of methods avalaible in the whole application.

For example i've this three methods:

• a method to retrieve te app name
• a method for getting the right view folder depending on the user agent
• a method to load assets

What's the best way to do this:

1. I'm using a model inside a module which is then requested from all other modules
2. I may extend or create a library/helper

now i'm using the first solution but I have come to doubt that it can slow down the application.

Answer 1

I would put this one in a base controller. Like this one: https://github.com/jamierumbelow/codeigniter-base-controller
