how to deal with more hooks in Drupal module?
February 18, 2013, 10:29:06 am
Just a question that comes to mind and I wonder if anyone has any recommendations....

when using hooks for customizations, do you tend to put them all into one Drupal module or do you create a separate module per hook....or something in between? I think it would make sense to create a module when hooks sort of hang together functionally, but sometimes this is hard to distinguish. Just wondered if there is a standard or recommended approach....
Thanks!

I almost always use one module. Unless there are two clearly distinct sets of customizations that I am implementing, I prefer to have all custom code in one place as that's easiest for maintenance and future debugging.

I guess the only reason that you might want to use more than one module is if you think you're going to reuse some your hook implementations for other projects or other customers.  The bigger the module, the harder it is to reuse without modifying it.

But if it's just your site -- go as big as you like!
