Week and strong dependencies

Hello 

I was reading the documentation to know the differences between week and strong dependencies. The definition is easy to understand but in practical terms i dont understand if exists any advantage by using strong and week dependencies...

what it the dependency we should avoid and why? can tell me a example for each case?


Thank you! :)

Hi Joana,


I see that the links to documentation have already been shared with you.

I would suggest watching a presentation from Rui Coutinho, former architect at OutSystems at NextStep 2019, about Service Actions. The concepts are still valid today and I found the presentation great to explain the difference between weak and strong dependencies, their advantages and disadvantages, when to consider one approach over the other, and a few practical usage scenarios.



Kind Regards,
João

Hello..

The links does not help because they reference the documentation that i already read.

Also the YouTube video is a copy of the documentation.

My doubt is only understand if we should avoid any of the dependencies, or each of them is the worst.

Thanks

Hi Joana,

There are two action in the  logic tab one is service action and other is server action .Basically service action is used in the case of week dependencies and server action used in the strong dependencies for example there are 10 screen in our application and we used the same  server action in all the screen  if want you to make changes in the server action then we have to all the screen where we can apply server action and make thechanges that is strong dependencies . If  we apply the service action in all the 10 screen then we can changes in one service action then it changes will occur in all the scree this is the weak dependencies
