Hi team
is there any way calling function of another module's class except creating new object using new or dependency injection every time

Alberto Reyer

You could make a method static to call it via <class>::<method> but if you neither want to create an object via new nor inject it through DI you might try something very odd and should reconsider if this is the right way to solve your requirement.

ok thanks

U03TXRYL7U7

please suggest for the following scenario:
If we need to create category from our custom module then we will call existing function of category module. If in this case we will create object of category class using new to call function of the same class then please let me confirm whether this will not be against spryker coding structure or we can go ahead with using new

There is the \Spryker\Zed\Category\Business\CategoryFacadeInterface::createCategory method you can use to add a new category.
Creating transfer objects with new is completely fine.

You can then inject the CategoryFacadeInterface into your object that will need to create a new category, by using the respective <YourModule>DependencyProvider as described in the tutorial section: https://docs.spryker.com/docs/scos/dev/tutorials-and-howtos/introduction-tutorials/tutorial-architectural-walkthrough-spryker-commerce-os.html#e[…]e

Thanks @UL6DGRULR. I am able to reach the function create of vendor/spryker/category/src/Spryker/Zed/Category/Business/CategoryFacade.php . Now there is the dependency of CategoryTransfer in that function. Please suggest do I need to follow all the steps given in createCategory function of vendor/spryker/category/tests/SprykerTest/Zed/Category/_support/Helper/CategoryHelper.php All dependencies mentioned in the above function will need to be resolved or there is any better approach for the same to create category.

You could use "find usage" in your editor to see where the \Spryker\Zed\Category\Business\CategoryFacade::create is used and how it's done. That would lead you to the \Spryker\Zed\Category\Communication\Controller\CreateController::indexAction and \Spryker\Zed\Category\Communication\Form\CategoryType where you can see what data needs to be passed into the transfer to create a new category. Use this code as a blueprint for what you want to achieve as it is almost the same.
