More documentation about MVC
Hello,
It would be great to see more documentation about how to develop an application following the MVC pattern. You've built the Mail.app as a demonstration of the framework, and it has some controllers, models and, of course, views.
Uki doesn't want to be a Jack-of-all-trades. It only does layout but it does it well. You won't find any ajax or data storage layer code here.
I've saw the above paragraph on the website and I think is a little bit confusing, no?
You've done a great work on the framework, it's really fast and simple.
So maybe we uki doesn't want to have any ajax/data storage layer but it can definately endorse some libs just to be able to "complete the picture"?
Which ajax lib would someone use with uki? Which data storage layer?
(please don't answer "anyone of your choice" :) )
I'm also interested in what people use for AJAX with UKIJS, however if you're using AJAX the storage layer should be handle by the server shouldn't it?
[lots of shameless self promotion ahead...]
@petsagouris: Well, I use my own library, Shrike, which is fast, very lightweight, modular, and almost completely undocumented. It provides DOM manipulation, Ajax, events, animation, and a few utilities. I'm working on a UI extension and an MVC library, but since you're already using uki you don't really need those.
If you want any help with using it, since I'm still writing the documentation, file an issue or send me a message.
