Hi All,
In the company I work we have an application where each client (record)
can assume different status: active, inactive, blocked or partial blocked.
The client form for record updates has a combo box where the user can
select the client's status:
<select name="status" id="status">
<option value="A">Active</option>
<option value="B">Blocked</option>
<option value="P">Partial Blocked</option>
<option value="I">Inactive</option>
</select>
OO thinking take me to the "Tell, don't ask" philosophy.
So how do I need to for every setStatus() operation?
Option 1: Set by code
======
client.setStatus( form.status );
Option 2: Special sets
======
if ( form.status == 'A' ) {
client.activate();
} else if ( form.status == 'B' ) {
client.block();
} else if ( form.status == 'P' ) {
client.partialBlock();
} else if ( form.status == 'I' ) {
client.deactivate();
}
The problem in the second approach is the it still have to keep some
business logic and, it still needs to know the status codes.
Using the first approach it still gives me the possibility to
encapsulate the business logic inside it's set():
function setStatus( status ) {
if ( arguments.status == 'A' ) {
client.activate();
} else if ( arguments.status == 'B' ) {
client.block();
} else if ( arguments.status == 'P' ) {
client.partialBlock();
} else if ( arguments.status == 'I' ) {
client.deactivate();
}
}
}
Any help would be appreciated,
Ronan
