The view object

A view is a self-contained runtime JavaScript object that can render itself in a browser.

The runtime artifacts and behavior of a view are defined in the Coach View Editor at design time. A view object handles interactions with the Coach runtime engine by performing the following functions:


View

These are the components and artifacts that make up a view.


Composite view

A composite view is just a view that has subviews which are enclosed in a view. A composite view also provides binding mapping and configuration data for each subview. When the load() function is called at run time, the load() function of each subview is invoked before the load() function of the composite view. The view() call is invoked in the same order as load(). The unload() calls are invoked in the opposite order as load(); when the unload() function is called at run time, the unload() function of the composite view is invoked first, then the unload() function of each subview is invoked.


Coach

A coach references one or more views and provides the actual bindings and configuration values to referenced views.
