@chris301 @dan874 this is how you can have an entity with typehint as a passed param in your action, all you have to do is to play a little bit with the `Controller::invokeAction()` method |

As a Cake controller would get the repository class instance automagically 8) |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 17:11 |

Perhaps the grey area is the separation between the repository instance and the entity |

what you want could be achieved relatively easily in Cake 4 by overriding Controller::getAction() and Controller::invokeAction() |

anyway, i’m clocking off for the day - thanks for your help guys - looks like what we’ve wanted to do isn’t possible |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 17:05 |
chris301 |
to do what we have seen elsewhere, it wouldn’t be the router doing it - rather the application providing the model based on what it’s asked for. it’s interesting to see the differences between frameworks |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 17:03 |
admad |
making the router pull out entities is muddling of concerns IMO |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 17:01 |
chris301 |
we inherited this codebase, along with its problems, and have worked to make it a useable base - we are also behind on versions, due to other complications we’ve had along the way. it’s in the long term plan to update, but that hasn’t happened yet |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 17:00 |
chris301 |
what we’re trying to do is separate out the concerns fully. as for replicating laravel with cake, theres things we’ve got in place to make our jobs easier but we know replicating laravel is nigh on impossible in cake |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:58 |
chris301 |
so we have many of those already in place |

stop trying to replicate laravel with cake :) just state your problem and ask how to deal with it in cake |

..and they’re composable too which makes them very powerful |

intrigued to know more… custom finder? |

@chris301 @dan874 Use custom finders |

to give some idea (i work with @dan874) i’m looking at a line now that is using a 6 deep nested association |

Feb 17th 2020, 16:53 |
dan874 |
just copied and pasted all over the place, so we're just trying to centralise it |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:53 |
dan874 |
yeah so this codebase we've inherited has a lot of them with lots of associations |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:52 |
neon1024 |
Perhaps a custom finder could help somewhat if you have a find with associations you use frequently |

It feels like doing more work than what you’re saving |

neon1024 |
:thumbsdown: from me, sorry |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:51 |
dan874 |
so is the general consensus something like this not a good idea? |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:51 |
neon1024 |
That’s a PHP issue, not a Cake issue imho |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:51 |

Set it’s result to a class property |
| # |
Feb 17th 2020, 16:51 |

but what if you use that line in 30 different places? |

So much trouble to save 1 line of code: `$this->Foo->get($id)` |
