Module Object Oriented Programming API

R&D module.

If you can come up with any idea how this module could be useful please do let me know.

This module allows you to write modules in pure OOP syntax.
The only requirement is that oop syntax module must implement hook_boot() like so:

function hook_boot(){
  module_invoke('moopapi', 'register', '[YOUR CLASS NAME WHICH SHOULD BE THE MODULE NAME]');
}

This will register your class as module and will then simply work. Just enable it and enjoy.

Demo module to try this out: create ooptest.module and stick this code into it:

Enable both moopapi.module with ooptest.module and then visit either to /oop or /oop-test to see that it works :-D

ooptest.info:

; $Id$
name = OOPTest
description = The Next Level $417
core = 6.x
version = VERSION

ooptest.module:

<?php
//$Id$


class ooptest {

  public function menu() {
    $items = array();
    $items['oop-test'] = array (
      'title'            => 'OOP Page Test',
      'page callback'    => 'ooptest_fark',
      'access arguments' => array('access content'),
      'type'             => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
    );
    $items['oop'] = array (
      'title'            => 'OOP FAPI Test',
      'page callback'    => 'drupal_get_form',
      'page arguments'   => array('ooptest_form'),
      'access arguments' => array('access content'),
      'type'             => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
    );
    return $items;
  }
  public function boot() {

  }
  public function form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
    if ( 'ooptest_form' == $form_id) {
      $form['additional'] = array(
        '#type' => 'radios',
        '#title' => t('Is this cool or what!?!?!? - (hook_form_alter() item)'),
        '#options' => array(
          'Super cool!',
          'Hell yeah!!!!',
        ),
        '#default_value' => variable_get('additional', null),
        '#weight' => -1,
      );
    }
  }
  public function form() {
    $form = array();
    $form['testing'] = array(
      '#type'  => 'textfield',
      '#title'  => t('This is a test field (form item)'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('testing', '134'),

    );

    return system_settings_form($form);
  }
  public function fark () {
    return 'hello world 2.0 style';
  }
}
