I like to understand conceptually how to setup controller / model in case I want to import supplier data (csv/xml/soap/..) via different controllers. I simplified my case for better focus.
In ATK4 I have Model_Supplier. The main fields are: name,type. Type can be csv1,csv2,csv3,xml1,xml2,soap1. Some suppliers are using the same type.
I like to load the model and do ->import(). However import() should be different for each type.
I thought about following possibilities: [1] load model, setController, hook method to model and then use model->import()
$m=$this->add('Model_Supplier)->load(1);
$m->setController($m['type']);
$m->import();
then in Controller_Csv1 the method import() needs to be added like this via the init():
$this->owner->addMethod('import',array($this,'import'));
[2] load model, setController and do controller->import()
$m=$this->add('Model_Supplier)->load(1);
$c=$m->setController($m['type']);
$c->import();
Then the import() in the controller should refer to $this->owner as the model
[3] Another option would be to extend Model_Supplier with Model_Supplier_Csv1 and then have import() in here. However then I first need to load Model_Supplier to identify the type, then unload and load again Model_Supplier_$type
[4] Or add model, then add controller, then set the model instance to the controller and do controller->import()
$m=$this->add('Model_Supplier)->load(1);
$c=$this->add('Controller_'.$m['type']);
$c->setModel($m);
$c->import();
[5] maybe another solution which I didn't think of.
What would be the best approach also in line with ATK4?
