To Action or not to Action? I was writing a new class today and wondered whether it should be an Action, Command or Service. Which would you pick?

Today I started to write a new class and was trying to decide what to name it and what pattern I wanted to follow.
|
|
|
|
Option 1:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class StoreInformationDownloader {
|
|
|
|
public function download() {
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Option 2:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class DownloadStoreInformation {
|
|
|
|
public function execute() {
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Option 1 is a typical Service class.
|
|
|
|
Option 2 follows the Command or Action pattern.
|
|
|
|
Which would you choose?
