I've made quite an extensive page.php using ACF-repeaters and the flexible content module (1000+ lines of code). The code is getting really spaghetti-like, and I'm not sure how to structure it so it's easier to read and maintain.



Here's a pseudo-code-version of it:



$all_fields = get_fields(); 
foreach( $all_fields as $field ):
if( $field == 'field_1' ):
// Deal with field_1
elseif( $field == 'field_2' ):
// Deal with field_2
elseif( $field == 'field_3' ):
// Deal with field_3
...
... etc.
... etc.
endif;
endforeach;


Now I'm facing a challenge that will require me to structure the code better; I will need another page-template (page-foobar.php), that includes the same ACF-code as shown above.



On the one hand side, then I thought about making this whole thing into a (or several) functions and then sticking it in functions.php. But then I'm polluting the functions.php-file, which would suck.



Ideally, I would do this 'the WordPress way', if there is such a thing for what I'm doing, but I haven't heard of such a thing. So if there isn't one, - then I'd prefer to have a folder in my theme called 'acf-modules', and then a file for each field, containing a function like this:



function field_1( $field_information )
// Deal with $field_information



But should I then make an action in functions.php, requiring each file upon WordPress' init-hook? Is that really the cleanest/best way to do this?

          Well, structuring is partly a matter of taste, but it in this case it seems to be a good idea to include all the functions in a separate file. That includes the code that you would have in both template files. And rather than the chain of elseif you could use PHP's switch statement. So you would have:



          In your functions.php (just plain, not depending on a hook)



          require_once (get_template_directory() . '/field-functions.php');


          In your template files



          deal_with_fields ();


          In your field-functions.php



          function deal_with_fields () 
          $all_fields = get_fields ();
          foreach ($all_fields as $field)
          switch ($field)
          case 'field_1' : deal_with_field_1 ($field); break;
          case 'field_2' : deal_with_field_2 ($field); break;
          ....




          function deal_with_field_1 ($field)
          do your thing;


          function deal_with_field_2 ($field) ....
