Abstract:

Web application frameworks are used by web developers to create dynamic websites, web applications, and web services. Frameworks provide libraries for common activities in web development. One such framework is CodeIgniter (CI). A plug-in called Doctrine Object Relational Mapper (ORM) can be used to enable object relational-mapping. Since in ORM, the model represents the structure of a database table, a CI library can be created to automatically create forms based on the model structure. This study aimed to construct and test a form generation library in CI Framework with the Doctrine ORM plug-in. The proponents of the study used the Constructive Research Method. The results proved that the library reduces coding time for CI developers. The form generation library constructed in this study is a useful tool for web developers.
