Component Object Best Practice

Jobskie — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 07:15:00 GMT

Hi, I really need clarity on when I should create a component object for an application. I'm planning to set a standard on this multi layer approach and this means creating a component object for all objects even if they are small and not reusable such as setting values in excel using ExcelVBO. If a process interacts with 3 applications, it means 3 coponent objects that are non reusable. Will this have any negative effect on the performance of the bot in the long run that I should watch out for?

creating a component object should be based on the frequency of use and the complexity of the process. Too many non-reusable component objects can lead to performance issues, but reusable and complex component objects can improve modularity and maintainability. When deciding whether to create a component object, consider these factors and choose what's best for the specific use case.

I'd say don't.
That opens a can of worms that is difficult to close later.
KISS rule applies 😉
Reusable objects all the way.
