I am developing an application using the cairngorm framework. The
following is a descripton of how I have been using cairngorm according
to what I have gleemed from the documentation and from my own usage.
The framework suggests that you use ViewStacks in combination with
constants and variables that hold the selectedIndex of the viewstack,
which are then bound to the ViewStack itself. When an application gets
very large, with many views, nested views and the need for hybrid views
that require complex combinations of viewstack indexes this becomes
very hard to maintain and also to make neccesary changes. For instance,
if a container changes its location in a viewstack, it is very
dependant on the variables stored in other files which becomes a
tedious process to change. Also, the framework doesn't handle very
well when a view needs to be instantiated in different ways when it is
presented to the user. If this is wrong please correct me, because I
feel like there must be a better way. If anyone knows a better way to
deal with many views (whether using cairngorm or some other solution)
please let me know what that is. Thanks.
