How to create block with "latest articles" with CakePhp 3.x? I'm learning by "blog tutorial" from official web-site.
I already have controller "Articles" from tutorial:
// src/Controller/ArticlesController.php
namespace App\Controller;
use App\Controller\AppController;
class ArticlesController extends AppController
{
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('Flash'); // Include the FlashComponent
}
public function index()
{
$this->set('articles', $this->Articles->find('all'));
}
public function latest()
{
$this->set('articles', $this->find('all')->limit(5));
}
public function view($id)
{
// view article
}
public function add()
{
// Add article
}
}
How I can create something like "sidebar with 5 latest articles" and insert it directly to "layout"? (homepage layout for example, not controller page). I must create "block" or "element"? Do you have an example please?
