Zend Framework: Zend_Controller_Action_Crud_Abstract Component Proposal

Table of Contents

1. Overview

Zend_Controller_Action_Crud_Abstract is a controller action that provides basic CRUD functionality to facilitate RAD.

2. References

• Working implementation (although WIP)

3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria

• This component will allow developers to setup basic CRUD setup with minimum effort.
• This component will provide view helpers that provide the basic CRUD screens.

4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components

• Zend_Exception
• Zend_Form
• Zend_Controller_Action
• Zend_Db_Table

5. Theory of Operation

Basic CRUD operations are almost identical for every model. This is often more then enough functionality for development environments or non-public administration sections.
Zend_Controller_Action_Crud_Abstract only requires the developer to provide a Zend_Db_Table and Zend_Form instance in order to provide full CRUD operations.
A small collection of view helpers will provide the basic page elements for each action.
Code generators like Zend_Build could also benefit from the CRUD controller. The amount of code that needs to be generated can be kept to a minimum.
