Child classes have access to the -parent class, but not their siblings. Drivers provide an elegant syntax -in your :doc:`controllers <controllers>` for libraries that benefit -from or require being broken down into discrete classes. - -Drivers are found in the *system/libraries/* directory, in their own -sub-directory which is identically named to the parent library class. -Also inside that directory is a subdirectory named drivers, which -contains all of the possible child class files. - -To use a driver you will initialize it within a controller using the -following initialization method:: - - $this->load->driver('class_name'); - -Where class name is the name of the driver class you want to invoke. For -example, to load a driver named "Some_parent" you would do this:: - - $this->load->driver('some_parent'); - -Methods of that class can then be invoked with:: - - $this->some_parent->some_method(); - -The child classes, the drivers themselves, can then be called directly -through the parent class, without initializing them:: - - $this->some_parent->child_one->some_method(); - $this->some_parent->child_two->another_method(); - -Creating Your Own Drivers -========================= - -Please read the section of the user guide that discusses how to :doc:`create -your own drivers <creating_drivers>`.
