Service Contracts
“A service contract is a set of PHP interfaces that are
defined for a module. A service contract includes data
interfaces, which preserve data integrity, and service
interfaces, which hide business logic details from service
requestors such as controllers, web services, and other
modules.”
Benefits of Using Service Contract:
1. Attempt to move business logic out from PHTML to
Model where it belongs.
2. Loosely coupled module
3. Less messy upgrade.
