Quick Start

You are busy, and you just want to “get things done™”, so let’s get going.

After installation, you are ready to CRUD-ify your app.

The application

So the application our pointy-haired boss has tasked us to create today is a Blog.

App Controller

Let’s setup CRUD to handle all index(), add(), edit(), view() and delete() actions automatically, we do this by enabling Crud in the AppController with the actions options configuration.

namespace App\Controller;

class AppController extends \Cake\Controller\Controller
{
    use \Crud\Controller\ControllerTrait;

    public function initialize()
    {
        parent::initialize();

        $this->loadComponent('Crud.Crud', [
            'actions' => [
                'Crud.Index',
                'Crud.Add',
                'Crud.Edit',
                'Crud.View',
                'Crud.Delete'
            ]
        ]);
    }
}

There we go, that was easy.

Posts Controller

So, our new Blog needs a Posts controller to allow us to create, read, update and delete posts.

namespace App\Controller;

class PostsController extends AppController
{
}

This is all the code we need in the PostsController as Crud will scaffold the controller actions for us.

If you are not using Crud-View then you will have to bake your templates.

bin/cake bake template posts

Let’s check out our new application, go to /posts and behold, a nice paginated ìndex() template, all without any code in your controller.

You should now be able to navigate to /posts/add as well and create your first post, as well as being able to edit it.

Reference application

If you’d rather look through a completed application, José from the CakePHP core team has created an application using Crud. You can find it on Github.
