I am really wrestling with this one and wanted to know if others have
established a best practice.
My controllers are getting to be pretty big, and different actions may
need different components. Also, in the name of DRY, I have a
'services' controller that performs a lot of standard utility
functions -- which may need differnt components depending on who
called it. (i.e. Flickr component for Flickr stuff, Facebook component
for FB, Google component for Google, etc.)
It really seems like Cake wants me to include all compoments in the
controller var $compoments class attribute, so they can all be easily
referenced as a class variable. But I'm looking at my 'services'
controller, and that could very well have a lot of very large
components.
I've tried to use App::import('Compoment', component) to load
components on the fly, but when I do so I can't seem to access any
components which those components need to use. (see post on Component
Polymorphism).
What do people do? Is the extra overhead so nominal that I should just
include everything plus the kitchen sink? Is Cake smart enough only to
actually load a component when it is actually required? Has anyone
else figured out how to properly load components on the fly?
TIA.
