Over the years, I've built libraries to simply handle fields/forms and databases. I dislike indirection, as it makes the code more difficult for me to understand. Also, while I use OOP for the model, I use individual page controllers in their own "landing" files to drive my app. I've done it the OOP way before, with each website function a separate method in a controller class, but I've found it makes the code more complicated and less accessible. Most of the services Laravel offers I don't need. However, to each his own. Paul -- Paul M.
