Child classes have access to the parent class, but not their siblings. Drivers provide an elegant syntax in your <a href="controllers.html">controllers</a> for libraries that benefit from or require being broken down into discrete classes.</p> + +<p>Drivers are found in the <dfn>system/libraries</dfn> folder, in their own folder which is identically named to the parent library class. Also inside that folder is a subfolder named <kbd>drivers</kbd>, which contains all of the possible child class files.</p> + +<p>To use a driver you will initialize it within a controller using the following initialization function:</p> + +<code>$this->load->driver('<var>class name</var>'); </code> + +<p>Where <var>class name</var> is the name of the driver class you want to invoke. For example, to load a driver named "Some Parent" you would do this:</p> + +<code>$this->load->driver('<var>some_parent</var>');</code> + +<p>Methods of that class can then be invoked with:</p> + +<code>$this->some_parent->some_method();</code> + +<p>The child classes, the drivers themselves, can then be called directly through the parent class, without initializing them:</p> + +<code>$this->some_parent->child_one->some_method();<br /> +$this->some_parent->child_two->another_method();</code> + +<h2>Creating Your Own Drivers</h2> + +<p>Please read the section of the user guide that discusses how to <a href="creating_drivers.html">create your own drivers</a>.</p> + + + +</div> +<!-- END CONTENT --> + + +<div id="footer"> +<p> +Previous Topic: <a href="creating_libraries.html">Creating Libraries</a> + · +<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · +<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · +Next Topic: <a href="creating_drivers.html">Creating Drivers</a> +</p> +<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006-2010 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">Ellislab, Inc.</a></p> +</div> + +</body> +</html>
