Accessing Child Modules From Other Modules

From Controllers

To call (invoke) a child module from another Trongate module (that's any other kind of Trongate module!) we simply continue with our 'parent with a hyphen' policy when we are loading our child modules. Once the child module class has been successfully loaded, we no longer need to reference the parent module when invoking methods from the child module.

Below is an example of our display() method - inside 'accessories' - being called from within our 'cars' module:

<?php
class Cars extends Trongate { 

  function index() { 
    $this->module("cars-accessories");
    $this->accessories->display(); 
  }

}
?>

From Views

Child Modules may be called from view files by following our convention of referencing the parent followed by a hyphen, when calling our child modules. For example:

<?= Modules::run("cars-accessories/display") ?>
