Hello everyone:

I’m developing a application for website and mobile app; I have created a controller:

namespace App\Controller

class OrdersController extends AppController
{
    function placeOrder()
    {
         //generate order business
        return $this->response();
    }
}

Now I need to create a api controller

namspace App\Api\Controller;

class OrdersController extends AppController
{
    function placeOrder()
    {
         //generate order business
         return new JsonResponse();
    }
}

You know App\Controller\OrdersController::placeOrder() and App\Api\Controller::placeOrder are very similar. I just need to copy my code. however copy code is stupid.

do you have some good idea to avod copy code?

Components are packages of logic that are shared between controllers

Take a look at the Friends of Cake CRUD plugin. It is designed for this kind of reusable action logic (And even has fancy API rendering logic built in)
