Framework-Agnostic Development: Enhancing Code Portability
A seasoned developer, Oliver Davies, recently discussed the advantages of writing framework-agnostic code in application development. By separating business logic from specific frameworks or CMSs, developers can enhance the portability and longevity of their code, enabling easier transitions across different framework versions or entirely different frameworks.
This approach, exemplified by Commerce Guys (now Centarro) during the development of Drupal Commerce 2.0, allows for more streamlined modules and the reuse of code across various eCommerce systems. Oliver emphasizes that adopting such a methodology not only facilitates future upgrades but also broadens the applicability of the developed logic.
