ServiceName vs CustomMethod

[Malin Nicolas]

Hi,

I continue my analysis to use EmailTemplateSetting with Content. My idea
is to use a service to retrieve information needed to merge with
template content before sending the email. The system  already use
Content entity, great ! But to manage template, the field
Content.serviceName isn't really useful for user's screen.

Do a reason exist to use serviceName instead of a relation with
CustomMethod entity ? Historical ?

With the CustomMethod and CustomMethodType, it's easier to show
available services to advanced user.
Any suggest ?

I'd say, go as you think it's better, then submit a patch and we will see

the modeling for CustomMethod  has been like a Hook in C lanquage.
this allows future addition and selection to performs an operation, to
achieve a particular outcome.
so if you want to have multiple services available for a Template, then
use CustomMethod, otherwise specify the service.
