View

new View(ctrl, name, definition)

mvc/views/view.js, line 29
The View class is a kind of interface-class which gives access to the methods and data of a helper (which itself belongs to a controller)
Apart from initializing some properties, the constructor also parses the view description and looks for needed helper methods.
Name Type Description
ctrl Object Controller instance / object
name String Name of the View
definition String View description, i.e. the raw template code that will be processed. May be empty: in this case the processed contents must be added manually (cf. parser.StorageUtils)
