Split CakePHP's controller into several files

Question

I have CakePHP controller with lot's of code in it... What is best practice to split controllers into several files?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

You have to separate your logic:

• User different controllers for tasks related to different models (e.g. products_controller.php, carts_controller.php).
• Separate the business logic into the model (fat model approach).
• Separate re-used controller logic in components.
• Make your code DRY (Don't repeat yourself)
