Using controller instead of component about cakephp-user-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

I agree about the mapping code but this is mostly done to make it work out of the box. Honestly I can't think of many people using it unchanged. The best way to use it is to bake a simple controller and replace the method contents with a call to the corresponding component method. Like I said, if you have suggestions about how to improve it, just tell me.

The code will be more clear short and may more performance.

Can you provide a benchmark and results or is that just a claim without proof? The reason it is a component is pretty obviously done for a good reason: Just attach it to any controller. Reuseability.

The controller can be override a little more easily

Explain me how extending a controller is more easy than a component. Foo extends Bar job done.

The component is useful when we use its functions in multi places

Like... multiple projects? The reason it is a component is simply reuseability. It was intentionally made this way to decouple it from a controller. The old CakeDC plugin was a pain in the ass to override on the controller level. This is another reason it is now a component.

What exactly do you need to extend? The component is very configurable and if that is not enough just extend the component? I don't see the problem. I don't mind improving it and making it more easy, but changing the component to a controller is not going to happen.

I didn't mean that there is a problem, I just found the component script a little complicated and every thing just to extent the controller.

For example:

• actionMap logic will not be needed.
• $this->response = $this->_controller->response;
• $this->_controller = $registry->getController();

sorry if the list is not meaningful enough, I think that I have to implement this idea by myself and then share you the result, then the discuss will be more clear-full

finally: I would to say that the target of extending ability is very wonderful and made me leave other plugins and work with this.

If you check the mailer branch you'll see that I've moved some code into traits and refactored the email sending stuff into a mailer class. I still need to test if the emails are still send and add unit tests.
