Class organization

Question

I need to create a system of posts.

I’m having a hard time studying class and I’m wondering which of the two ways to use it:

class publicarPost {}
class excluirPost {}
class curtir {}

or

class Post {
 function publicarPost(){}
 function excluirPost(){}
 function curtir(){}
}

Or some form with the most beautiful code.

Answer 1

One thing that many don’t understand about object orientation is that the paradigm is about organizing the code for meet requirements.

As it does not have the requirements in the question we have no way to say what is right. Following cake recipe and always making equal is not object orientation. In fact if cake recipes can be applied so simply probably this code should not be being written.

Of course, looking at the two examples, it is not difficult to say that the first is probably not necessary, but I cannot say. To tell the truth in PHP much of what is done in OOP is not necessary, after all are only scripts. The example of the other answer is probably not necessary to be so sophisticated.

But there are cases where you need different strategies of publishing, deletion, tanning and other actions for the same type, but in different objects. In some cases an inheritance can be a good one, in others the composition can be better and then the first example makes sense to use together with the second. But this is probably something more advanced, and again, probably an architecture not so necessary for scripts.

I always recommend to beginners starting from the beginning, OOP should not be a priority. Nobody starts a house by finishing, except in our business, so beginners bricklayers usually earn more than "experienced programmers".
