OOE graphical UML models

This essential and unique subzone progressively includes information on the main Interfaces/Classes in the OOE = Object Oriented Examples = One Of Each object-oriented tutorial module, modelled here in graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) using the Webel «!wrapper» @Components and «!analysis» @Interfaces recipe - a powerful UML analysis modelling strategy developed over many years by Dr Darren of Webel IT Australia, adapted here to parasitically analyse "already design(ed)" reverse-engineered PHP Interfaces/Classes.

Although it is very much a work-in-progress, this zone is already of enormous use, as it shows exactly how an object-oriented bridge to Drupal core can be constructed so that one need never deal directly with Drupal's structured arrays ever again (which is very good news indeed).

It is important that you read any Webel modelling policy notes that appear under the UML diagrams (within a collapsible Notes fieldset) within this zone or you will otherwise probably not be able to understand the very powerful (and highly consistent) Webel «!wrapper» @Component and «!analysis» @Interface system that is used track, analyze, and model the reverse-engineered design(ed) PHP Classes and Interfaces !

There is a lot to this site, the tutorials, and the OOE = Object Oriented Examples = One Of Each tutorial module, so don't expect to understand it all at once. Even if you aren't a graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) expert, your number one friend is the OOE graphical UML models, because without them you will never understand why the object-oriented PHP is coded as it is ! Fortunately, it doesn't matter too much where you are within the UML model pages, as they are designed to be cross-navigable. They also (mostly) link to the matching OOE: API reference pages including the complete PHP code.

Good places to start within the OOE UML models include:

- The minimal Demo project with a page controller, page menu item, and a very simple block.

- The Drupal\ooe\Demo\Project overview, which illustrates also how the special OOE creation pattern stereotype notations «!chosen» and «!new» are used together. Compare with how the «!product» and «!new» stereotype notations are used together in factories like AbstractFactory (and DefaultFactory) which supply products for classes like DefaultModuleHelper.

- CurrentPosts (as adapted to OOE) without an OO page controller (calls back on the .module file)

- Drupal\ooe\Module

- Drupal\ooe\Page

- Drupal\ooe\Project

- Drupal\ooe\Menu

- DefaultMenuItem

- DemoOfMenuTabs
