CakePHP – Components

Naming:

• MathComponent
• extends Object
• /app/controllers/components/math.php

Initialising:

var $components = array(‘Math’, ‘Session’);

When including Components in a Controller you can also declare a set of parameters that will be passed on to the Component’s initialize() method. These parameters can then be handled by the Component.
var $components = array(
‘Math’ => array(
‘precision’ => 2,
‘randomGenerator’ => ’srand’
),
‘Session’, ‘Auth’
);
