As I work on my CakePHP based projects, I find that my views/elements directory gets more and more filled. I really like putting view logic in elements even in cases where I am not actually re-using the element. I find I am treating elements almost like functions, so that when I have a fairly complicated piece of view logic, I remove it from the index.ctp or view.ctp template file, so that the main template file is easier to read. The fact that I can cache elements is also a huge benefit.
But I'm wondering if other CakePHP developers like elements as much as I do? Am I creating spaghetti code? Do you find it annoying if you check out a project and a ton of the view logic is encapsulated in elements? Is the liberal use of elements considered a CakePHP "best practice" or are elements meant to be used sparingly? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
