shot_mvc

Introduction

The Shot MVC implements a Model, View, Controller architecture on top of the base Shot Framework through a series of Loaders and Routers. Additionally, the MVC gem allows you to use the MVCApplication class, which will automatically set up all required MVC loaders and routers.

Installation

gem install shot_mvc

Usage Example

require 'shot_mvc'

app = MVCApplication.new

app.run do
    app.on 'load' do |instance|
        instance.get 'controller', 'Home'
    end
end

app.start

Components

The Shot MVC is made up of a few different parts, which collectively make up a Model, View, Controller structure.

Model

At the time of writing, Models are not yet finished, but coming soon!

View

The View portion of the MVC is made up of Elements and Templates.

Elements correspond to an actual HTML element on the user's screen. Elements have an assigned jQuery selector, and can trigger any jQuery function on the corresponding element on the page.

Elements are capable of rendering Templates, which are nothing more than an ERB file, with some special sauce.

body = get 'element', 'body'

body.html = 'Hello World'
body.jq 'css', ['background-color', 'red']

body.render 'some_template'

Controllers

Controllers are just as you'd expect. All controllers inherit from the base Controller class, and they can be loaded using the built in Loader.

home_controller = get 'controller', 'Home'
home_controller.index
