✅ CodeIgniter 4 Project — Context + Task Prompt Template

Use this format when working with ChatGPT to refactor or migrate pages to CI4. Submit the CONTEXT once, and use the TASK section for specific actions.

---

🧱 CONTEXT

This is a CodeIgniter 4.6 application.

• Views: No layout extensions; use plain Bootstrap structure from driver_payments.php
• Trigger: View is rendered when selected from a dropdown in Home.php
• Controller Location: DispatchController inside app/Controllers/Dispatch/Pages
• View Location: app/Views/Pages/
• Route Setup:
  • Page route in dispatch group
  • API route in api group

Shared Resources:

• Use render_select() helper for all filter dropdowns
• Use DriverModel::getActiveDrivers() / getFinishedDrivers()
• Use SupplierModel::getActiveContractors()
• Use getDriverNameById() and getSupplierNameById() to resolve names in the API

UI Expectations:

• Match the exact structure and filter layout of driver_payments.php
• All filters (driver, supplier, status, category) should be visible at once
• Use Bootstrap cards, .table-sm, and .table-responsive

API Expectations:

• Returns paginated data via DataTables (100 rows per page)
• Uses POST method
• Filtered using driver/supplier/category/status
• Result columns must include AssignedTo display name

🛠 TASK

[Example: Migrate complaints.php]

• Create a new controller method: complaintsView()
• Add the view complaints_view.php under Views/Pages
• Create API controller method to return filtered JSON data for DataTables
• Add necessary routes to Routes.php (dispatch + api)
• Use the context above for all code structure and styling

Once context is set, you can just say:

"Use the same context. Here's the next task..."
