RTTI in dpr / console app dpr

[Guest]

@Mahdi Safsafi Thank you very much.

 

That was very smart.

My post above demonstrates that RTTI does exist. I think that the real issue is that these types don't have qualified names.

Basically this then?

Treat console apps like you treat VCL or FMX apps.  Keep the actual code in units and have just the skeleton init and run code in the .dpr.

That's what I would do as well. Though it is nice to have everything in one unit...it is not nice to do so, because that code is not reusable, especially if it is in a dpr. And you never know, if you'll need it later on.

This is exactly what I started to do lately. All my applications business logics are basically a TObject-descendant, and service initializations or console launchers only create an instance of them.

I find this structure really easy to test, to port, to maintain or extend. This might be my own personal preference, though.
