Hi,
I was wondering what the correct, or more appropriate way of adding widgets to a web application is through Phalcon. For example, I have a simple widget next to the logo that allows an admin to change what company they are in through a select box. My current code is as follows:
Adding it to the library seems silly. Is it possible to create a widgets directory in the app folder, stick all of the widget classes there, and have a folder called widgets in the views directory?
use Mac\CompanyChanger\CompanyChanger;
/**
* Elements component
*/
$di->set('companyChanger', function(){
return new CompanyChanger();
});<?php
namespace Mac\CompanyChanger;
use Phalcon\Mvc\User\Component,
Phalcon\Forms\Form,
Phalcon\Forms\Element\Select,
Phalcon\Forms\Element\Hidden,
Phalcon\Forms\Element\Submit,
Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Identical;
/**

* Helps build the company menu changer next to the logo
