[Koha-devel] Helper/Static methods for objects

Thanks, Nick.

 

I added a comment on 20817 about why I think static/class methods are preferable to a Util module.

 

Cheers,

Hi All,

 

On two different bugs we have run into similar issues where a method was needed that didn't use the object directly.

 

On bug 28709 I proposed checking the ref of $self to see if this was called via the object - David Cook proposed adding a second method that is always called directly and calling that from the object method

 

On bug 20817 Kyle proposed a Koha::Util::Acquisition class and we could utilize that for other object as well, e.g. Koha::Util::Biblio, Koha::Util::Item

 

I put this on the agenda for the next dev meeting, I am sending it out here to get opinions and encourage attendance at that meeting to vote on a path forward.

 

-Nick
