Loading components dynamically

Dynamic Component

This plugin allows you to load components dynamically.

Requirements

• CakePHP 1.3
• PHP 5.1 or later

Installation

cd app/plugins
git clone git://github.com/tkyk/cakephp-dynamic-component.git dynamic_component

Usage

DynamicComponent's initialize callback invokes controller's _initialize method, in which you can use loadComponents method to load components dynamically.

class AppController extends Controller
{
  var $components = array('DynamicComponent.Dynamic');

  function _initialize() {
    if(!empty($this->params["prefix"]) && $this->params["prefix"] == 'admin') {
      $this->Dynamic->loadComponents('Admin');
    }
    if(Configure::read('debug') > 0) {
      $this->Dynamic->loadComponents('Debug');
    }
  }
}

The components loaded by this way are also able to load other components in their own initialize callbacks.

class AdminComponent extends Object
{
  function initialize($controller) {
    $controller->Dynamic->loadComponents('Auth');

    // setup AuthComponent
    $controller->Auth->loginAction = ...
  }
}

If prefix option is set to true, DynamicComponent will load a component named params['prefix']. In this case, AdminComponent will be automatically loaded when the admin prefix is on.

class AppController extends Controller
{
  var $components = array('DynamicComponent.Dynamic' => array('prefix' => true));

  function _initialize() {
    if(Configure::read('debug') > 0) {
      $this->Dynamic->loadComponents('Debug');
    }
  }
}
