Is there an AJAX Library for Codeigniter

Question

Are there any AJAX libraries for Codeigniter v2.x? Seems like Codeigniter is missing out a really useful library!

I only find AJAX/jquery libraries for the older versions of CI.

Answer 1

With CodeIgniter v2.x, a Javascript driver was introduced. I recommend looking at the user guide here: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/javascript.html

But with regards to it being a library that is useful, I think you could be misconstruing the point slightly.

There are plenty of Javascript libraries and frameworks out there to handle client-side interactivity. CodeIgniter is a server-side framework, so it cannot intermingle with a client-side framework...

So ultimately, a CodeIgniter javascript library isn't exactly needed. You accomplish everything javascript related in your view portion of MVC.

What is it exactly that you would like to do? I can maybe help/advise further if you can elaborate a bit... :)
