I have been learning PHP MVC pattern and it is pretty cool. have almost finished app and I can see how mess you can make a code without good design.
Now can MCV be applied to C++ apps? Where does Plugin manager/Plugins go if that is even possible?In model or controller?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I mean C++ with GUI toolkit like QT/Wxwidgets/GTK+
Also Please help me on how to implement in C++. I have learned how to do it in PHP but as you know the two languages are somehow different!
EDIT2
make classes in charge of rendering know nothing about application details. Call them SomethingView classes to make this point clear
make your domain objects not know anything about visualization or user interaction. You don’t need to call them Model, but you could
create a set of classes in charge of running the role of Controllers: wire somehow dependencies to view and model classes via dependency injection if possible. example: CppInject. In any case, controller classes can know both about model and view classes, so the important part is this: all the coupling between view and model objects is isolated to the controllers.
Also, this implies, that all imperative-style programming should be confined to the controller classes as well: view and model should be declarative-style. That means, they should offer services related to its role, but avoid direct interaction with other objects as side-effects
It is not true you need to implement communication between controllers and the other components with event-style system, although such system is definitely helpful, but certainly not required
surprise! the above applies to any language or framework, except of course languages that somehow already force MVC down your throat from the start, i.e: ruby on rails
