RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm2: ViewLocator - ViewHelper

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

Hi Tim,   I used to use ViewHelpers and ViewLocators a lot in the beginning before the advent of the ModelLocator. I found that using ViewHelpers and ViewLocators did not allow things to be as decoupled as much as they should be. Ever since the inclusion of the ModelLocator I have not used a ViewLocator or ViewHelper and found this to be the best way to go. Command does something, updates the model once everything is done, and via data-binding, the view gets updated.   If you search the forum I think you will find some posts from Alistair and Steven in this regard. So perhaps you might at look at going in this direction as well.   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Hoff Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 6:05 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Cairngorm2: ViewLocator - ViewHelper I've recently been toying with the concepts of ViewHelper vs. ViewLocator. Alex Ulmann posted, "the ViewHelper adds and removes itself from the ViewLocator", in his Cairngorm 2 (for Flex 2) - Overview and Migration Path. I haven't seen any examples yet that illustrate this method. Understandably, the example pool and documentation for this kind of thing is small but growing. So, I was wondering if the authors of Cairngorm had any advise/guidance for this topic. Of course it's a matter of scale, but in an enterprise application, what is recommended as best practice for the use of ViewLocator and/or ViewHelpers? I'm sure that there are forthcoming books that cover this area, but feedback here might promote better understanding.
