User Interface Layer

Use a custom MVC pattern with a lot of convenient tricks

UI Roles

The User Interface layer is composed by three main components :

  • Model
  • View
  • Controller

Each of these must do predefined tasks to maintain a good Separation of Concerns (SoC).

Short UML Diagram:

Models

Models are directly synchronized with the UIFacade and can send & receive Waves, they can also use any other components.

The goal of Models is to retrieve data from other layers, and to define Business Logic (business rules, authorizations ...).

The Model automatically build its attached view.
