在同一视图中编辑和创建操作是最佳做法吗？

Question

In my previous project using Laravel, I've played a lot with RESTful and realized that I used some repeated logic in 'edit' and 'create' controllers and also many 'html' in views. Then I came up with merging them into one file to avoid repeats. However, I found that doing so would somehow mess things up as I had to add lots of logic.

So, what is the best practice here? Do your guys usually separate them into two files or using a same file more often?

Answer 1

It depends how you manage your frontend. With a RESTful API, and some JS framework like AngularJS, you can only have one page for edit/create, it just doesn't need a mass of code. If your creation or edition is the same, you do not need to separate them.

I actually work on a Webmail, and our contact edition page is the same than our edition page.
