An Attempt at Understanding MVC
Quick note on how to think of the MVC architecture pattern.
Up to this point, having gone through the Frontend side of learning/building with AngularJS (1 and 2), I have come across the concept of MVC. But here’s a pretty neat explanation of it that I have just come across. I like metaphors, so this will be good for reference.
Think of the MVC architecture as a restaurant operation:
- A customer (client/user) walks in and places an order with the waiter (controller).
- The waiter (controller) routes the order to the kitchen (model: where logic or db changes are processed).
- The waiter then brings the order (in form of a view) back to the customer (client).
