MVC API

All JavaScriptMVC objects, classes, and methods are contained within the MVC namespace. This is done to prevent clashes with any other libraries being used, like jQuery or Prototype.

When no_conflict mode isn't on, classes can be accessed by their MVC-less names.

Methods

no_conflict

MVC.no_conflict()

Turns on no_conflict mode. This causes all objects, classes, and methods to be wrapped in the MVC namespace. By default, no_conflict mode is off.

Initializer

MVC.Initializer(func)

Defines a function that is called once the plugins and files have all been included. This function is deprecated. It used to be the best way to start up your application, running code when everything else has loaded. Currently, the best way to do this is by creating a 'load' action in the MainController, which runs on document load.
