Pure Ecmascript 5 library for writing updatable components and use them in your HTML code, using a personal interpretation of the 'MVC' coding pattern.

How do I get set up?

All you need for this to work is to get one of the final builds ('mvc-lite.js' / 'mvc-lite.min.js') on your webpage.

Basic usage:

The HTML index file:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My Web App</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <!-- Compiled library code -->
    <script src="./dist/mvc-lite.js"></script>
    
    <!-- Compiled app code (controllers/injectables/models..) -->
    <script src="./dist/app.js"></script>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./main.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div controller="app"></div>

    <!-- main.js -->
    <script src="main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

A simple controller will look like this:

app.js:

(function(global) {
	global.App.Controller('app', './', function($scope, _update) {
		$scope.title = "Hello World!";
	});	
})(Function('return this')());

'app' - The name you will use to refer to that controller in the HTML.
'./' - The relative path for the HTML file (must be named like the controller!).
'function($scope, _update)' - A function that will be used to construct component instances.

app.html:

<div class="app-container">
	<h1 bind-value="title"></h1>
</div>

'bind-value' - One of the builtin injectables which will inject the value of "title" from the $scope to the element's HTML.

Eventually, we will need to tell the framework to bootstrap the app with a specific controller:

main.js

(function(global) {

    global.App.Bootstrap('app');

})(Function('return this')());
