MBX.JsController()

Create and extend controllers

Field Detail

<static> MBX.JsController.Event

This is mostly used internally and is fired on MBX everytime a controller is created

Method Detail

<static> MBX.JsController.create(name, opts)

Controllers allow some decently powerful hooks. You can specify a model, and an onInstanceChange, onInstanceDestroy, onInstanceCreate. If your controller listens to a model, but you are not dependent on real-time updates, you can add the option "looselyCoupled: true" and all updates will be done with setTimeout, which will be a performance enhancement.

          MBX.DesktopUploadController = MBX.JsController.create("DesktopUpload", {
              looselyCoupled: false, // false is the default
              ANewMethod: function (something) {
                  return something;
              }
          })
          MBX.DesktopUpload.ANewMethod("boo") == "boo";

          MBX.DesktopUploadController = MBX.JsController.create("DesktopUpload", {
              model: MBX.DesktopUpload,
              onInstanceCreate: function (instance) {
                  alert(instance.get('greeting'));
              }              
          });
          MBX.DesktopUpload.create({ greeting: 'hi' });  // will alert('hi');

          MBX.DesktopUploadController = MBX.JsController.create("DesktopUpload", {
              model: MBX.DesktopUpload,
              onInstanceChange: function (instance) {
                  alert(instance.get('greeting'));
              }              
          });
          var instance = MBX.DesktopUpload.create();
          instance.set('greeting', 'hi');  // will alert('hi')
