Thanks for the reply. It just seems like I am putting 100 functions in
the one controller and a 100 views in the one folder. Just managing the
code and the single file could get complicated.
But from a user experience, they are managing the organization. These
are just areas to manage.
So, maybe my question should be...
What is a better way to manage the code? Maybe I should create
components to manage the code related to a Model?
