z-mvc-lib v1.0.1

Z-MVC-Lib

I wanted to write a simple, and extensible MVC library.

Install

Firstly, you should probably download the package.

npm

npm install --save z-mvc-lib

yarn

yarn add z-mvc-lib

TODO

These are the tasks I want to complete on this library.

• Finish readme
• Implement functionality for use in a website

Components

The library is split into the following components:

• BaseView
• BaseModel
• BaseController
• utils

These can all be required using:

const { Component } = require('z-mvc-lib')

BaseView

BaseView is a class that should be extended to create new views.

constructor(model, controller)

Functions

visible(value) - Takes true/false and sets view visibility, should be extended to work with the implementation of draw

draw() - A placeholder function that should be extended

dispose() - Essentially calls utils.dispose(viewName)

Variables

model - Instance of the model class

controller - Instance of the controller class

visibility - true/false value indicating view visibility

BaseModel

BaseModel is a class that should be extended to create new models.

constructor(name)

Functions
