Hello. I'm reading COCOA Design Patterns from Eric M. Buck & Donald A. Yacktman. and i'm having a hard time applying the principle in my architecture.
for example, if i create a new document based application in XCode, the MyDocument xib file binds the window outlet to the MyDocument Class. From what I read the MyDocument Class is supposed to be a model controller, not the window controller. The MyDocument Class is supposed to be able to host an array of window controllers. I see that makes sense if I have a main data view window and I would want to associate an inspector to that window and share the same data source with both windows. and I like that idea. what i am unsure of is how to go about with interface builder, and where should i associate the view with it's controller inside the MyDocument Class? ( but i read that model should have no knowledge of the view) is it the same for the Model Controller? if it's not then MyDocument Class becomes more than a Model Controller it is also a Window controller. in witch case why bother creating separate View/Window controllers? and why host an array of window controllers? Do i create the Window controllers in IB or do i do it in code, and how would i go about doing that the right way? I'm kind of confused and I'd really love some clearing up. thanks for any pointers.
