Namespace Detail

mmir.DialogManager

The DialogManager gives access to the most commonly used functions of the framework.

On initialization, the DialogManager also creates the mmir.DialogEngine and returns it as the second argument of the #init() function's callback (or the Promise's triggered callbacks). In addition, the DialogEngine is exported as module "dialogEngine" via RequireJS' define() function.

//initialization of inputManager
require('dialogManager').init().then( function(dialogManagerInstance, dialogEngineInstance){
		//do something
});

Requires:: mmir.ControllerManager; mmir.PresentationManager; mmir.ModelManager; jQuery.Deferred; jQuery.extend

{Object} perform(ctrlName, actionName, data)

This function performs an action of a controller by calling the method mmir.ControllerManager#perform of the mmir.ControllerManager

Parameters:
{String} ctrlName: Name of the controller to which the action belongs
{String} actionName: Name of the action that should be performed
{Object} data: optional data that can be submitted to the action

Returns:: {Object} the return object of the performed action

{Object} performHelper(ctrlName, helper_method_name, data)

This function performs an action of a helper-class for a controller by calling the method mmir.ControllerManager#performHelper of the mmir.ControllerManager

Parameters:
{String} ctrlName: Name of the controller to which the helper action belongs
{String} helper_method_name: Name of the action that should be performed by the helper
{Object} data: optional data that can be submitted to the action
