Question

I’m in the process of trying to wrap my head around using MVC and using it with javascript. I’ll be making a mobile app with HTML5 and don’t plan to use any server side languages only local storage.

How can this be achieved?
I’m usually thrown off by the model since it relies on the back end language from my understanding.

Answer 1

The Model doesn’t rely on the back end. MVC in conceptually simple:

1. Controller gets request.
2. Controller calls for Model to do all of the logic (be it database interaction, localStorage interaction of whatever)
3. Model returns data to Controller.
4. Controller calls View accordingly, and if needed, passes data from the Model.

This means, that Model doesn’t have to use a server side language, it’s a placeholder for the application logic.
