Current and proposed directory structure. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.


HMVC

Hierarchical model–view–controller

The concept of the directory and file structure is to create plug-able self contained applications. It is also designed as a move to refactor the project to use the HMVC design pattern. See the following links for additional information.

App Structure

Design goal for applications are self contained application that is designed to plug in a simple way.

location: fusionpx/app

  • root.php
  • app_config.php
  • app_defaults.php
  • app_languages.php
  • resources
    • classes
      • models
      • views
        • view name - support multiple sets of views.
      • controllers
      • rest - RESTful web service support need to find the best location for this
    • images
    • xml
      • dialplan

Core Structure

Same as App Structure only the bare minimum applications belong in core such as menu, user managerment, groups, permissions, domains and default settings.

location: fusionpx/core

Future Improvements

  • includes/lib_switch.php

Move the functions this file contains into classes in their respective directories.

  • includes directory

Consider renaming this directory to resources.

  • includes classes

Move the specific classes into their respective app/resources/classes directories.

  • includes/classes/install.php

Move the rest of the install.php file into methods of the install class.
