Hello all,
Did everyone tried to use PHP's Interface as Extension Point in CakePHP?
My idea is to create a fully modular app. To build a menu, for example, I
would be able to do something like this:
The method 'getExtensionPoint' will get all the classes that implements the
given interface, at run time.
// The core of extension point
class MenuController {
function _buildMenu() {
$menu = array();
$menuProviders = $this->getExtensionPoint('IMenu');
foreach($menuProviders as $menuProvider) {
$menu += $menuProvider->getMenu();
}
}
}
// Some class ( could be a Controller or a Model ) which uses this
extension point
class User implements IMenu {
function getMenu() {
return array('Users' => '/user/list');
}
}
// The Interface, to bind the extended classes
public interface IMenu {
function getMenu();
}
Sorry for write all this code here.
Someone already did something like this? This can be done using the plugins
in CakePHP ?
Thanks in advance !
Vinicius
