Models, Views, and Controllers

Fuwafuwa Framework employs the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern to promote code organization, maintainability, and scalability. This pattern separates the application into three distinct components:

Models

Models encapsulate the application's data logic and business rules. Their primary responsibilities include:

  • Representing data structures.
  • Interacting with the database (retrieval, insertion, updates, deletion).
  • Enforcing data integrity and consistency.
  • Performing data-related calculations and transformations.

By isolating data-centric operations within models, developers can create reusable and testable code.

Views

Views are responsible for presenting data to the user. They are typically HTML templates with embedded logic for formatting and displaying information. Key characteristics of views include:

  • Minimal to no business logic.
  • Dynamic content generation based on data provided by the controller.
  • Consistent presentation layer for different data sources.

Views enhance code readability and facilitate UI modifications without affecting core application logic.

Controllers

Controllers act as intermediaries between models and views. Their role involves:

  • Handling user input and requests.
  • Interacting with models to retrieve or manipulate data.
  • Selecting appropriate views to render based on user actions and data.
  • Managing application flow and navigation.

Controllers ensure a seamless user experience by orchestrating the interaction between models and views.

By adhering to the MVC pattern, Fuwafuwa Framework promotes code modularity, reusability, and easier maintenance.
