Question

I’m using extjs mvc style to create a web application.
I don’t have any direct issue but I’m not sure on how should I handle this code to keep following the mvc pattern.

This is my situation:

• Controller, which detect click event
• View, which has a changePassword method

I’m simply trying to make an ajax request to change the password of a user (notice that the code is currently working, I’m only thinking if I should move a part on the controller).

Currently the code behaves like this:

• Controller detect click event and run changePassword method on the view with a record parameter it passes to
• View open a prompt message that request to the user a new password
• View runs an ajax call and show a successful/error message

What my idea is:

• Controller detect click event and run View.showChangePassword prompt
• View show the prompt and it returns the password insert there to the controller
• Controller runs the ajax call
• Controller runs a View.showChangePasswordResult with param: what is returned by ajax call

Is my idea better than what I’m currently using?

Answer 1

Yes. I would only move showChangePassword to the controller too.

• Controller detects event
• Controller create another view if necessary and subscribe to submit method of this view
• Controller submits values via Ajax.
