Development
Lecture 02
Planning Our Framework
Framework
• Definition
• a basic structure underlying a system, concept, or text.
• In general, a framework is a real or conceptual structure intended to serve as
a support or guide for the building of something that expands the structure
into something useful.
Patterns
• Definition
• a design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring
problem in software design.
•  A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into
code
• Uses of Design Patterns
• speed up the development process
• providing tested, proven development paradigms
Patterns
Which patterns will be used?
• Model-View-Controller (MVC)
• Registry
• Singleton
Model-View-Controller (MVC)
• Model 
• Represents an object. It can also have logic to update controller if its data
changes.
• View 
• Represents the visualization of the data that model contains.
• Controller 
• Acts on both model and view. It controls the data flow into model object and
updates the view whenever data changes. It keeps view and model separate.

Registry
• Provides a means to store a collection of objects within our framework
(Container of objects for reuse).

• Each set of controllers and models we create need to perform some


shared tasks, including:
• Querying the database
• Checking if the user is logged in, and if so, getting certain user data
• Sending data to the views to be generated (template management)
• Sending e-mails, for instance to confirm a purchase with the customer
• Interacting with the server's filesystem, for instance to upload photographs of
products
Registry
Singleton
• Restrict an object to one instance only

• However, we will use it to ensure we have only one instance of our


registry available in the framework at any point of time.
File/Folder Structure
Building a Framework
Pattern Implementation: MVC
Pattern Implementation: Registry

• Needs
• It needs to have a method to create certain objects and store them with a key.
• It needs another method, which when passed with a key as a parameter,
returns the object in question.
• working
• Processing the incoming URL, so our “index.php” file can route the request
correctly
• Building URLs based on a series of parameters, a query string, and the
URLdisplay/generation method we use
• Pagination
Pattern Implementation: Registry

• The code in the book makes up the basics of our registry, with two
arrays:
• One for objects
• One for settings
Pattern Implementation: Singleton

• The singleton pattern is very easy to implement, as it requires only a


few minor changes to a standard PHP class, to ensure that it is only
ever instantiated once.
• Needs
• A private constructor is used to prevent the direct creation of objects from
the class.
• The expensive process is performed within the private constructor.
• The only way to create an instance from the class is by using a static method
that creates the object only if it wasn't already created.
