In this chapter you will learn to generate test data with seeders which are ideal for when we are starting to develop.
In this chapter we will learn how to handle the relational schema of the database in CodeIgniter; We will look at one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.
In this chapter we are going to work with uploading files in our application, to upload images to our movie model.

This chapter we will make some changes in the Rest Api created previously to define additional methods such as upload, pagination, among others.
App with Vue, coming soon.
In this chapter we will learn how to integrate the PayPal platform in CodeIgniter, in order to process payments directly from the application.
This chapter we will know how to integrate CodeIgniter shield to handle authentication and authorization; also, we will create a small project with which we will learn to manage groups and permissions.
