> > (a one CFC convention-based DI 'framework' in the spirit of FW/1).
Yes, I like that idea a lot. FW/1 has inspired me in many ways, the most important thing it has taught me is that conventions, when they are fully understood in a framework-- is the best ways to build things. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of changing my own patterns, but if my app is all built with a standard naming/structure convention like FW/1 half the battle of complexity is already solved. cfpayment is on the list for sure-- that is also a major part of the puzzle solved. I know it may be hard to make a cart both simple, and fully loaded, but I do think that it can be done, as long as everything is built as highly specialized services and business objects-- Like Sean mentioned, a simple central DI service could in fact manage a cart, and frankly I don't feel any part of a cart is that complex that it could not be done as units. A lot of what we need for this has already been done 1000x over-- in CF and many other languages, so we do not really need to reinvent the cart-- we just need to model it with a consensus based standard so its not hard to use it. There are code bases in CF already that are way more complex than a cart/checkout system, so this should actually become better than any system available to CF. Content management-- CRM, POS, Bar-codes, Processing integrations (pic pack ship), database support etc.. all can be modular-- After all, the whole process is just TEXT-- from the customer adding to the cart, to processing the order-- it is all in fact just simple text. The most complicated middle-ware I have ever built even for stores with hundreds of thousands of products and customers all boiled down to getting 2 systems to talk to each other with some type of TEXT.
