Codeigniter 4 View Cell Parameters not passing through

Code in the view, this is being copied straight from the docs and is not working.

// app -> Cells -> DropdownCell.php

 namespace App\Cells;

use CodeIgniter\View\Cells\Cell;

class DropdownCell extends Cell
{
    protected $surveys; 
   
    public function courses($params): string
    {
        $this->surveys = model('SurveyModel');
        $courses = $this->surveys->getUserCourses(auth()->user()); 
        $data['items'] = []; 

        foreach ($courses as $c) {
            $data['items'][] = ['id' => $c->id, 'title' => $c->title];
        }
        return view('components/dropdown',$data);
 
    }
}

View:

<?= view_cell('DropdownCell::courses', ['type' => 'test']) ?>

I am getting an error:

Too few arguments to function App\Cells\Dropdown::courses(), 0 passed

I can't see what is going wrong with this? The dropdown cell has been made with Spark as per the doc guidelines. This is being served by a controller extending BaseController.

I should add that the view cell works fine if I don't use parameters, I would just like to use them...

Solution

  • I was trying to use the logic behind a 'simple cell' however the method I found that worked was following the instructions for 'computed cell'
