Hello friends,

I am working on a project in which there are 40 utilities. I am trying to create a single controller class that will handle all these utilities. But I think that this will make the size of the controller class very large. So this may lead to large computational delay. Also I am having a team with me hence different developers will be working on the same project.But with a single controller class this is not feasible.
Can anybody suggest me a solution to this problem?

It sounds like to me these utilities are 'tools' therefore they should be Helpers? Just thinking out loud here...

you can call utilities as a function or a tool.

Why would you like to place different tools in a single controller? Cramming all this in a single controller will make it bloated, unmaintainable, etc: you pointed out the cons yourself.

With out knowing more about this project, I'd say one controller per tool. There's no problem with having a large number of controllers.

Thank you sir...!!


That means it simply doesn't matters how many controllers we are using..?

I think I must go for a single controller per tool.

But this will result in creating 40 controllers.

You can create an unlimited amount of controllers, yes. You can create one per tool, or group the tools into meaningful groups and create a controller per group, for instance

Code:

class User extends Controller
{

    function User ()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }

    function create ()
    {
        // Create a user
    }

    function delete ()
    {
        // Delete a user
    }

    function edit ()
    {
        // Edit a user
    }

    function show ()
    {
        // Show a user
    }

}
