Learning JavaScriptMVC

By: Wojciech Bednarski

Overview of this book

<p>JavaScriptMVC is a client-side, JavaScript framework that builds maintainable, error-free, lightweight applications as quickly as possible. As it does not depend on server components, it can be combined with any web service interface and server-side language.<br /><br />"Learning JavaScriptMVC" will guide you through all the framework aspects and show you how to build small- to mid-size well-structured and documented client-side applications you will love to work on.<br /><br />This book starts from JavaScriptMVC installation and all its components are explained with practical examples. It finishes with an example of building a web application. You will learn what the JavaScriptMVC framework is, how to install it, and how to use it efficiently.<br /><br />This book will guide you on how to build a sample application from scratch, test its codebase using unit testing, as well as test the whole application using functional testing, document it, and deploy the same. After reading Learning JavaScriptMVC you will learn how to install the framework and create a well-structured, documented and maintainable client-side application.</p>

Writing the documentation


Let's add a documentation to our Todo list application in Chapter 1, Getting Started with JavaScriptMVC.

To add the main documentation page, create a Markdown file todo.md in the Todo/todo directory with the following content:

@page index TodoApp
@description TodoApp is simple todo application.

# TodoApp documentation

Here we can add some more documentation formatted by [Markdown][1]!

Then, add these documentation blocks to the todo.js file:

steal(
    'jquery/class',
    'jquery/model',
    'jquery/util/fixture',
    'jquery/view/ejs',
    'jquery/controller',
    'jquery/controller/route',
    function ($) {

        /**
         * @class Todo
         * @parent index
         * @constructor
         * @author Wojciech Bednarski
         * Creates a new todo.
         */
        $.Model('Todo',{

                /**
                 * @function findAll
                 * Get all...
