What is MVC?
- 1. What is MVC? A Primer in 10 Slides Dominique Gerald M Cimafranca [email_address] http://villageidiotsavant.com By
- 2. Model-View-Controller an architectural pattern in software engineering
- 3. a way of designing and building applications
- 4. object-oriented software development
- 5. separates application logic from presentation
- 6. loose coupling between components
- 7. Without MVC Client database db=connect(database); var1=$_POST[“data1”]; var2=$_POST[“data2”]; db.query(“insert into db values var1,var2”); print “<HTML><H1>Success</H1></HTML>”; http://myapp/create.php http://myapp/read.php http://myapp/update.php http://myapp/delete.php database application presentation All in one program! delete.php update.php read.php create.php
- 8. What happens when you... change the database settings?
- 9. change the database design?
- 13. change the look and feel?
- 14. How does MVC work? Client http://myapp/customer/create http://myapp/customer/read http://myapp/customer/update http://myapp/customer/delete customer (controller) function create() { : : } function read() { : : } function update() { : : } function delete() { : : } function read($id) { Customer->get($id); $data=Customer->read(); : : render($data,”template.tpl”); } Controller handles application logic
- 15. A single controller may have multiple methods
- 16. A controller collects all the actions that takes place
- 17. Several controllers may comprise an application
- 18. How does MVC work? Client customer (controller) function create() { : : } function read() { : : } function update() { : : } function delete() { : : } function read($id) { Customer->get($id); $data=Customer->read(); : : render($data,”template.tpl”); } Controller invokes models
- 19. Controller manipulates model attributes
- 20. Controller uses model methods
- 21. Models can invoke other models Customer http://myapp/customer/create http://myapp/customer/read http://myapp/customer/update http://myapp/customer/delete name category quantity : read() save() :
- 22. How does MVC work? Client customer (controller) function create() { : : } function read() { : : } function update() { : : } function delete() { : : } function read($id) { Customer->get($id); $data=Customer->read(); : : render($data,”template.tpl”); } name category quantity : read() save() : Customer http://myapp/customer/create http://myapp/customer/read http://myapp/customer/update http://myapp/customer/delete Controller combines data with template
- 23. Template may perform additional processing
- 24. Return combination as HTML $header $sidebar for($item in $data) { echo $item; } Our Customers : : : : Charlie Brown Lucy Van Pelt Linus Van Pelt
- 25. Or we could do it with XML Client customer (controller) function create() { : : } function read() { : : } function update() { : : } function delete() { : : } function read($id) { Customer->get($id); $data=Customer->read(); : : render($data,”template.tpl”); } name category quantity : read() save() : Customer XML request XML response $xml->serialize($data) Whatever... Java C / C++ JavaScript Client does not need to be a web browser
- 26. Can be any client that speaks XML
- 27. Serialization: conversion of data into bits
- 28. With this, we can talk about web services XML, JSON, YAML, ...
- 29. Some MVC web frameworks Ruby on Rails (www.rubyonrails.org)
- 37. Mojolicious (www.mojolicio.us) Frameworks make things easier BUT you don't need to use them to practice MVC
