[TYPO3-dev] Call for static methods

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello typoniks,

extensions are often incubators for future core features. The
Extension Coordination Team has prepared two extensions wich shall
become a common library base for extension development.


1.) Library for Extensions (lib):

Currently it contains a well tested class to build typolinks in an
object orientated way, without cryptic function calls (tx_lib_link).
Classes of similar general use and quality will be collected here.


2.) Static Methods for Extensions (div):

Here we will collect static methods of general use, each one function
big. This will be a similar collection like t3lib_div, but targeted in
special for extension development and maybe a little more avant-gardistic.

The typical method call will have the simple form:

$result = tx_div::doSomething($withThis);


Every developer has his own collection of little helpers he regularly
uses. Bring in your little helpers for the community of developers.
With this we start a collection of those static methods.

Please send your wishes and proposals to
news://typo3.teams.extension-coordination.

For method names please use commonSpeech, commonGrammer and camelCase:

function sendInYourFunctions($address, $proposal){ }



Thank you for your contributions
