Mate Framework Animation

Dec 1 Flex , Mate Add comments

Several months back I saw an excellent animation used to explain how the Cairngorm Framework worked within the MVC pattern.  

I liked it so much I created my own animation for the Mate Framework.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. This post has generated a lot of traffic. If you can attend 360Flex on March 7, 2010, I'll be hosting a hands on Mate Workshop. You can read more about it here.

    I don't know the model.. and for me it's too fast to understand. Half the speed would be better..

    This kind of visuals are great for Mate newcomers.

    Nice work!

    I'll see if I can slow it down and make it a bit clearer.

    Essentially, when the "response" is returned to your flex application you bind it to an .as class. For example you could create a class called UserManager.as and make the entire class bindable. Inside this UserManager.as file, you'd create getters and setters for any values you want to inject into your view. In the EventMap you could bind the UserManager class to your injector.

    The end result is anytime the UserManager is updated, the values are injected into your view. This provides separation between your model and your view.

    Like I said, I should update the animation. A picture is worth a 1000 words. ;-)

    Nice representation of the framework.

    Things are that little bit more clearer!

    Nice work; I take the point about being fast for newcomers maybe, but as someone who's used other frameworks (Cairngorm, PureMVC) and wants to get a feel for what Mate is about, it was perfect - and I'd rather watch a fast anim twice than a slow one once. Cheers!
