Title: Inheritance in Commands Post by: Elephant on July 16, 2010, 10:48:30 I'm working on a PureMVC Multicore application that has several Flex Modules. There's a bunch of stuff common to all the modules, so I'm having several classes in each module inherit from base classes.
One of these base classes is a CommonStartupCommand, registered to the "startup" Notification in the CommonFacade. Each module will have a couple of other things to start up, so I have a separate ModuleStartupCommand in each one of those, too. Unfortunately, I can't just register that command to "startup", too; it'll replace CommonStartupCommand instead of acting in tandem with it. At this point, I'm weighing two possible architectures to handle this: One, the ModuleStartupCommand extends CommonStartupCommand, and the execute() function calls super.execute(). Two, implement ModuleStartupCommand as a MacroCommand, calling addSubCommand on both common and specific startup commands. From what I've read here, option 2 seems more in line with the design philosophy of PureMVC, but option 1 seems a little simpler ... and I haven't seen *any* examples of this type of inheritance between Commands. Got any advice for me? Title: Re: Inheritance in Commands Post by: puremvc on July 16, 2010, 02:51:21 Either approach should work. I'd probably go with inheritance since it's simpler.
