1
00:00:00,012 --> 00:00:02,459
Final step in the MVC model.

2
00:00:02,459 --> 00:00:06,718
The stage just before the end user
gets to see anything is the view.

3
00:00:06,718 --> 00:00:10,760
Back to the IMDb example, the model
sends data to the controller, but

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,607
the controller can't just send
raw information back to the user.

5
00:00:14,607 --> 00:00:17,320
It needs to make sure
the data is presentable.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,284
That's the job of the view.

7
00:00:19,284 --> 00:00:22,641
The view is the programming
that handles presentation.

8
00:00:22,641 --> 00:00:26,080
As with models,
you'll have lots of different views.

9
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,176
One for each page or
each component on a page.

10
00:00:30,176 --> 00:00:35,523
And almost always, you'll use some
templating language that combines data and

11
00:00:35,523 --> 00:00:38,680
templates to create robust web pages or
views.

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,232
The view essentially returns
a complete web page to the controller,

13
00:00:43,232 --> 00:00:45,202
then delivers it to the user.

14
00:00:45,202 --> 00:00:48,307
Again, the controller
hands data to the view.

15
00:00:48,307 --> 00:00:53,436
Waits for the view to deliver the results,
then sends those results to the user.

16
00:00:53,436 --> 00:00:57,972
A complete web application may
include multiple controllers,

17
00:00:57,972 --> 00:01:01,670
models and
views that all handle individual tasks.

18
00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:05,171
By dividing tasks into separate modules or
functions,

19
00:01:05,171 --> 00:01:09,150
you can build web applications
one layer at a time.

20
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:12,130
Combining different models
with different views and

21
00:01:12,130 --> 00:01:15,790
controlling all of them using
the centralized logic of the controller.

22
00:01:17,230 --> 00:01:20,140
It might take some time to wrap
your head around this approach to

23
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:22,070
building web applications.

24
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:26,280
But once you understand the MVC pattern,
you'll be able to design and

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,610
build web applications more quickly,
consistently and effectively.
