After days of planning, I’ve decided on the structure of AMFWP.
At first I wanted just a small set of methods to access the database, but I also wished to implement a more broad set of methods with less common usage. However, this conflicted with my original idea and I had to think of the best way to publish this integration package. Therefore, I shall be working towards this model:
Basic Package
This Basic Package will be enough for most users. They will mostly want basic operations in an easily accessible set of methods, and will adapt their application to the methods exposed by the low-level API.
Advanced Package
All the methods of the low-level API, plus additional methods/classes that allow more customisability on the client’s side, will be included in this package. These methods will mostly consist of very specific database access methods, such as getting a single detail of a post (ie post ID or post date).
Hopefully, these different models will provide a different set of tools for everyone, and most people will be happy with what’s on offer here. This is just the direction I’m heading in, and it may change in the future. Right now I will wait for more participation from the community, which should grow as I progress along.
