CAN.JS MVC View Controller events Model m odify updates via
events
FEATURES
OVERVIEW can.Construct can.Observe can.Model can.Control can.view EJS Mustache can.route
can.Construct var Person = can.Construct({ init: function (name) { this.name
= name; } }); var zack = new Person(”Zack");
OBSERVABLES Construct Observable
can.Observe var state = new can.Observe({ selected: null, showSave: false
});
can.Observe state.bind('selected', function (oldVal, newVal) { … }); state.attr(‘selected’, item);
state.attr(‘selected’);
MODELS Construct Observable Model
can.Model var Library = can.Model({ findAll: ‘GET /libraries’, create: 'POST
/libraries', update: 'PUT /libraries/{id}', destroy: 'DELETE /libraries/{id}' }, {});
can.Model new Library.List([]); Collection Member new Library({name: ‘jQuery’});
VIEWS Model Views live bindings
can.view var template = can.view("#template", { libraries: this.libraries, state: this.state
}); can.$(ele).append(template);
EJS <% libs.forEach(function(el, ix) { %> <li><%= el.name %></li> <%
}) %> <% if (state.isEditing) { %> <button>Save</button> <% } %>
Mustache {{#libraries}} <li>{{name}}</li> {{/libraries}} {{#state.isEditing}} <button>Save</button> {{/state.isEditing}}
CONTROLLERS Controller Model View events m odify
can.Control var Control = can.Control({ init: function (ele, options) {
… } }); var control = new Control('#main’, {});
can.Control '.btn_save click': function (ele, ev) { }, '.name keyup':
function (ele, ev) { }

WHY?

LEARNING CURVE A subjective comparison
BACKBONE Confused
EMBER “We frequently receive feedback from new developers about how
frustrating it can be to get started with Ember” Yehuda Katz & Tom Dale http://emberjs.com/blog/2013/03/21/making-ember-easier.html
ANGULAR Wow
None
Convenience / Magic Easier to Learn
They way you already know, is most likely the right
way.
ANGULAR function Ctrl($scope, $element) { $(‘.tree’, $element).dynatree({}); }
That’s not the Angular way! You should use directives!
CAN init: function (element, options) { $(‘.tree’, element).dynatree({}); … }
Yay!
