Hey guys, this is just a general discussion thread to figure out what works, what doesn't work, and suggestions for changes. This is a completely open forum, so feel free to bring up anything!
And feel free to fork this project! Pull requests are always welcome. :)
First concern... I feel like the Variable and Service files are pretty solid (I even tested them). But the Controller file probably needs a bit of work. It's hard describing all of the things that a Controller can do, plus provide various examples. So if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
@lindseydiloreto just wanted to say I think this is a brilliant idea! We frequently build a tiny plugin to hold the complex bits for a site and I never thought of making a template to start from. Kudos!
@joshangell Thanks! I was sorta surprised at how many people quickly starred it on Github. :)
If you have any ideas on ways to make it better, forks and suggestions are welcome!
@lindseydiloreto Ditto @joshangell's comments. I've wanted this for every plugin I've started, and now it exists and is amply described from within!
@lindseydiloreto This is IMHO the best resource to get started with plugin dev for Craft. Now it would be great if it was ported to craft 3...
Thanks @ssssct! I do have plans to port it to Craft 3... I may even turn it into a module instead.
Can it currently be used with Craft 3 at all?
Not yet, but I've finally gotten around to porting it. Should be ready within the next few weeks. 👍
I finally finished porting the Business Logic plugin template over to Craft 3, and actually converted it to a Business Logic module template instead. In Craft 3, it makes far more sense that someone would need this architecture as a module instead of a plugin.
Business Logic is dead. Long live Business Logic! 👑
This time, I did an even deeper dive into the included components (Variables, Controllers, Services), writing up the purpose of each piece, and how they all tie together in the big picture.

And now, almost five years later, I feel comfortable closing this thread. 🙂
