The best practice for using external APIs
Hello everyone, I need to generate an excel file and I am using an external API to generate that excel file. If I wasn't using CakePHP I could include() API's php file in my code and start writing it directly. Since I am using CakePHP I am trying to avoid doing stupid things that will break the design patterns. How should I wrap that API so I can use it in CakePHP? Thanks for the answers. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: The best practice for using external APIs
Hi,
I need to generate an excel file and I am using an external API to
generate that excel file. If I wasn't using CakePHP I could include()
API's php file in my code and start writing it directly.
Since I am using CakePHP I am trying to avoid doing stupid things that
will break the design patterns. How should I wrap that API so I can
use it in CakePHP?
Third-part libraries are usually put to the vendors folder and then
included with:
App::import('Vendor', 'yourfile');
Hope that helps!
