Hipster MVC

The MVC library for Dart, inspired by Backbone.js and used extensively in the Pragmatic Programmers book, "Dart for Hipsters".

API Documentation.

Getting Started

A fully functional sample app is available at dart-comics.

Displaying a collection of resources is as simple as defining model, collection and collection view classes and then instantiating them:

import 'Collections.Comics.dart' as 'Collections';
import 'Views.Comics.dart' as 'Views';

main() {
  var my_comics_collection = new Collections.Comics()
    , comics_view = new Views.Comics(
        el:'#comics-list',
        collection: my_comics_collection
      );

  my_comics_collection.fetch();
}

If the backend exposes a REST-like API, your collection and model classes can be very brief.

A Collection Example

library comics_collection;

import 'package:hipster-mvc/HipsterCollection.dart';

import 'Models.ComicBook.dart';

class Comics extends HipsterCollection {
  get url => '/comics';
  modelMaker(attrs) => new ComicBook(attrs);
}

A Model Example

library comic_book;

import 'package:hipster-mvc/HipsterModel.dart';

class ComicBook extends HipsterModel {
  ComicBook(attributes) : super(attributes);
}

History
