Sample code

//namespace
var app = {};

//model
app.PageList = function() {
	return m.request({method: "GET", url: "pages.json"});
};

//controller
app.controller = function() {
	var pages = app.PageList();
	return {
		pages: pages,
		rotate: function() {
			pages().push(pages().shift());
		}
	}
};

//view
app.view = function(ctrl) {
	return [
		ctrl.pages().map(function(page) {
			return m("a", {href: page.url}, page.title);
		}),
		m("button", {onclick: ctrl.rotate}, "Rotate links")
	];
};
