http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13019 Bug ID: 13019 Summary: Add base classes on which to build Koha objects Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: kyle@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org The idea behind this is to have a pair of base classes on which to build our new generation of Koha objects. Koha::Object is a base class, which in it's most basic form, is to represent a row in a table. For example, Koha::Borrower inherits from Koha::Object. So too could Koha::Biblio and Koha::Item for example. Koha::Objects is to represent a way to fetch and manipulate sets of objects. For example, Koha::Borrowers has a method to get a Koha::Borrower object by id and a method to search for an get a list of Koha::Borrower objects. Right now Koha::Objects has only the essentials but can easily be extended and those enhancements will be passed down to all the child classes based on it. By using these classes as a base, we will add consistency to our code, allow us to keep our code DRY, reduce bugs, and encapsulate our database access among other benefits. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
