PureMVC – a few tips

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Just in case someone else is having the same issues solving coding problems with PureMVC, which is some darn great core for any application, here are my musings:

Re-using Mediators

I used PureMVC to recreate my existing AS2 framework, which means my mediators don’t know in detail, when and how many are used, etc. And for re-usablity reasons, I have to re-name them to establish a unique identifier. For example: all my static components pretty much just need one mediator which initializes the component, can switch them on/off and change layout, etc.

To make it short: one mediator for any number of text components. Unique identifiers for each mediator.

PureMVC’s elements(mediators, proxies) are using two ways to identify themselves, NAME and proxy/mediatorName, the latter is changeable, so there is your way to rename it.
