JavaScriptMVC Updated

MVC or Model-View-Controller has effectively worked for JavaScript especially in building an Ajax based application. As an online application, developers were able to use MVC as a way of properly rendering the application in the client side. Although there are bumps in browsers compatibility, the help of MVC will considerably ease the development. Developers could even distribute work more effectively with the help of MVC.

The specific MVC for JavaScript, aptly named as JavaScriptMVC, has been continuously adapting to different challenges especially made on browsers. The latest update, now in version 1.5, has aggressively addressed some of the concerns of developers in using the previous versions of MVC.

• Easier Testing – Before the implementation of the latest version of JavaScriptMVC, developers have to test the application right in the browser. Although launching the browser for testing is easy, it would have been better if the application is tested before making it available in the browser.

The latest version has answered that concern. Instead of browser testing, developers could now test the application right in the command line – a very important update which could essentially mean faster testing and easier changes on the coding.

• Additional Code Generators – Developing an application is easy if you have the assistance of code generators. But some code generations will never make you avoid coding in general. Still, added generators for the new version should be a welcoming update. With more generators, some of the functions will be more automated. Stability of the application should always be the target of developers and this could be easily achieved when some of the codes are made by the MVC itself.

• Scaffolding Ability – Another key update on JavaScriptMVC, instead of focusing on building everything from the scratch, the new version should be developed through iteration depending on the preferences of the developer.

However, this scaffolding feature is only limited in REST portions of the application. The good thing about this limitation is that developers will still be able to freely adjust their application even when the application is slowly developed.

Additional improvement in the application doesn’t stop there. The ability to implement CRUD in the application will also improve customization on the functions.

• Support for Engine and Plug-in – Implementing plug-ins are usually easy to implement even in an MVC. Even if the application has been developed and deployed, developers could still implement plug-ins as this could be easily integrated in the application.

But the new version will take it even further. Aside from ease of installation of plug-ins, support for the entire engine will be implemented. Developers should be able to install the plug-in within the command line. When this happens, the MVC will also start to monitor the engine associated with the plug-in.

For example, the plug-in powered with JQuery will also show support certain libraries automatically. This would mean easier installed of other plug-ins related to JQuery.   The latest version of MVC is already available for download. Get them loaded and build better applications faster.
