CI's principles: Loose Coupling & Component Singularity
Raw
CI_principles
CI has two useful principles.
These are set out in the Design and Architectural Goals section of CI's User Guide:
Loose Coupling: Coupling is the degree to which the components of a system rely on each other. The less the components depend on each other, the more re-usable and flexible the system becomes. Our goal was a very loosely coupled system.
Component Singularity: Singularity is the degree to which components have a narrowly focused purpose. In CodeIgniter, each class and its functions are highly autonomous in order to allow maximum usefulness.
