Single-page App Framework

=========================

The single-page app framework provides simple MVC-like building blocks (models,

model lists, views, and controllers) for writing single-page JavaScript

applications.

Building Blocks

---------------

The app framework provides the following classes, which can be mixed and matched

in virtually any combination to meet your needs. For simple apps, you may find

that you only need a `View`, or a `View` and a `Model`. For complex apps, you

may want to use the full stack. It's entirely up to you.

The `Controller` class provides URL-based (using HTML5 `pushState()` or the URL

hash) routing, making it easy to wire up route handlers for different

application states.

The `Model` class provides an attribute-based data model with APIs for getting,

setting, validating, and syncing attribute values, as well as events for being

notified of model changes.

The `ModelList` class can contain an ordered list of `Model` instances (for

example, todo items in a todo list). It provides a convenient API for working

with a list of models and for adding to, removing from, and sorting the list.

Finally, the `View` class represents a logical piece of an application's user

interface, and is responsible for rendering content. A view instance can be

associated with a particular model instance to allow for refreshing whenever

the model changes. Views may also be nested if desired, or even used as

standalone components with no model associations.

Modules

-------

* `app`: Alias module that includes all of the following modules. Use this

module when you plan to use the full app framework stack.

* `controller`: Provides the `Y.Controller` class.

* `model`: Provides the `Y.Model` class.

* `model-list`: Provides the `Y.ModelList` class.

* `view`: Provides the `Y.View` class.
