PureMVC demos for Feathers UI and OpenFL
PureMVC is an architectural framework built using Model-View-Controller and other software design patterns — and you can use it with most popular programming languages (including Haxe, of course). A team of application developers can use PureMVC to better organize their code, separate concerns, and improve their project's scaleabilty and maintainability.
A Haxe version of PureMVC has been around for many years already, so I didn't need to port it myself, like I did recently with the Cairngorm MVC framework. With that in mind, I instead focused on creating several example projects that demonstrate how to use PureMVC specifically with Feathers UI and OpenFL.
This is just one of many projects/repositories that I'm releasing as part of the Feathers UI v1.0 release week celebration.
The repository currently contains four demos:
- App Skeleton demonstrates a startup process for a PureMVC-based application that displays a splash screen with a progress bar that loads several resources.
- Cafe Townsend recreates the Cafe Townsend sample from the Cairngorm MVC framework to allow developers to more easily compare PureMVC to Cairngorm.
- TodoMVC demonstrates how to create the classic TodoMVC project.
- Hello OpenFL demonstrates how to use PureMVC with OpenFL alone (no Feathers UI).
Install PureMVC
