2 | |
3 <p>Whenever your application grows beyond a single script with a few dozen lines
, | |
4 it gets harder and harder to manage without a good separation | |
5 of roles among app components. | |
6 One of the most common models for structuring a complex application, | |
7 no matter what language, | |
8 is the Model-View-Controller (MVC) and its variants, | |
9 like Model-View-Presentation (MVP).</p> | |
10 | |
11 <p>There are several frameworks to help apply | |
12 <a href="app_frameworks">MVC concepts</a> | |
13 to a Javascript application, and most of them, | |
14 as long as they are CSP compliant, can be used in a Chrome App. | |
15 In this lab, | |
16 we'll add an MVC model using both pure JavaScript and | |
17 the <a href="http://angularjs.org/">AngularJS</a> framework. | |
18 Most of the AngularJS code from this section was copied, | |
19 with small changes, from the AngularJS Todo tutorial.</p> | |
20 | |
21 <p class="note"><b>Note:</b> | |
22 Chrome Apps don't enforce any specific framework or programming style. | |

34 <p>If using JavaScript, | |
