CodeIgniter Wizard
Rapid Web Application Development (RAD) Tool for PHP MySQL/MariaDB Development and CRUD Code Generator using CodeIgniter4 Framework (for macOS only) subtitle
CodeIgniter Wizard is a relational database-driven PHP code generator. It is input MySQL databases, lets you configure options such as UI style, authentication/authorization, and language localization, and then quickly creates a working web application with full CRUD functionality using standard features of CodeIgniter 4.x framework. Output web project is complete with entity models, views, and controllers (even entities) and a Bootstrap 5-based CSS layout, and the generated code is secure, clean, highly reusable, and portable.
With its database-first approach, CodeIgniter Wizard lets you select the tables and fields you want to include in your application, to automatically generate the necessary models, views, and controllers - even the new CodeIgniter 4 entities, supporting standard database CRUD operations - namely create, read, update and delete. It even creates a sidebar and (dashboard) home pages automatically using some of the basic data from your generated modules.
New features also include secure file uploads with automatic image resizing capabilities, automatic slug generation from titles (for fields named 'slug'), and even adding code to automatically generate string IDs in UUID/GUID format in cases where the primary key field is char(36).
Unlike dynamic (on-the-fly) code generation libraries like Grocery CRUD, CodeIgniter Wizard generates standard, PSR-compliant CI4 code, so that you can customize or scrape the generated code for use in another web project.

This Codeigniter Wizard tool not only gets the job done very well, but it also has quite a few hidden gems and easter eggs which are somewhat underrated.
We had a database table with a blob field storing image data initially created for another application that saved the uploaded thumbnails in that table. When we used the same database to create a new web application based on it using Codeigniter Wizard, we thought we would need to write some custom code to parse the blog data and display it as image. To our surprise, the wizard automatically created some code to display the contents as an image in list views.
