Make public methods of component controllers available in controller views like it is in regular controllers and views

[Ivan Gretsky]

Good day, @teppo!

Hope you're doing fine. I am using Wireframe in everything I build now) And devs I collaborate with love it as it gives us a defined common ground. Thanks!

We are using components a lot. Particularly for RM based content builder. And we often need to call some component-unique logic from the component view. I wish we could do it like we can in regular views: just calling a public method of component controller as a function (or a property). It doesn't seem to be a feature now. Could this be added?

Good day, Ivan. Glad to hear that you're enjoying Wireframe ?

Could you clarify how you're calling such methods in case of regular views?

You should be already able to access component class methods from a component view with $this->method_name, similar to they way you access controller class methods from regular views. Both Controller and Component base classes implement MethodPropsTrait, which enables this behaviour.

But if you're looking for something along the lines of View::getController(), ComponentView didn't have a direct method for that. Pretty sure this was originally by design (to keep component views from becoming too complex), but I've added a similar method in latest version (0.26.0) just in case: ComponentView::getComponent().
