OO and Writing Drupal Modules
- by Aaron
Preface: Yes, I've read:

I am writing 'foo' module for Drupal6, where I am organizing the code in an OO fashion.
There's a class called Foo that has a bunch of setters and accessors, and it is working quite well at abstracting some pretty nasty code and SQL.
The question is is it common practice to expose a class for other modules, or is it better to wrap things in the more typical foo_myfnname()?
For example, if I am writing the module's docs, should I tell people to do this:
$foo = new Foo();
$something = $foo->get_something();
or tell them to call:
foo_get_something();
which under the hood does:
function foo_get_something() {
$foo = new Foo();
return $foo->get_something();
}
