Answering "is this normal?" is beyond the scope of a comment. In general: if it works, it's good. You can (and should) refactor and improve your working code until you are satisfied. When in doubt, feel free to ask another question on SO, code review SE or SE SE. — Friedrich 55 secs ago

Please review How to Ask. Questions about critique of existing working code may go on Code Review, and software engineering questions may go on Software Engineering. However this question is likely too broad / opinionated for either of them. — blackgreen ♦ 48 secs ago

Alternatively, you might like to ask at a different stack exchange site, possibly: softwareengineering.stackexchange.com — freedomn-m 45 secs ago
