For me, I mostly use the DAL directly in controllers. But, I have a few areas where there is really complicated business logic that is needed by multiple controller functions. Instead of repeating that complicated logic in the controller, I've created classes (stored in /modules) that I import and execute in my controller functions. But as I said, there are very few. Out of hundreds of controller functions, separate classes are used in only a couple dozen.
Using the DAL directly in controller methods is a big part of why you can develop so quickly using web2py. What I try to do is keep it simple. Use the DAL directly when appropriate and only use classes/objects to keep from repeating yourself. Just my 2 cents... -Jim On Friday, November 18, 2016 at 7:12:52 AM UTC-6, mfarees...@gmail.com wrote: > > I understand your point now.
