model view controller - MVC approach with C++

Question

I have been learning PHP MVC pattern and it is pretty cool. have almost finished app and I can see how mess you can make a code without good design. Now can MCV be applied to C++ apps? Where does Plugin manager/Plugins go if that is even possible?In model or controller? Thanks!

EDIT:

I mean C++ with GUI toolkit like QT/Wxwidgets/GTK+ Also Please help me on how to implement in C++. I have learned how to do it in PHP but as you know the two languages are somehow different!

Answer 1

how do you actually implement it in C++

• make classes in charge of rendering know nothing about application details. Call them SomethingView classes to make this point clear

• make your domain objects not know anything about visualization or user interaction. You don't need to call them Model, but you could

• create a set of classes in charge of running the role of Controllers: wire somehow dependencies to view and model classes via dependency injection if possible. example: CppInject. In any case, controller classes can know both about model and view classes, so the important part is this: all the coupling between view and model objects is isolated to the controllers.

• Also, this implies, that all imperative-style programming should be confined to the controller classes as well: view and model should be declarative-style. That means, they should offer services related to its role, but avoid direct interaction with other objects as side-effects

• It is not true you need to implement communication between controllers and the other components with event-style system, although such system is definitely helpful, but certainly not required

• surprise! the above applies to any language or framework, except of course languages that somehow already force MVC down your throat from the start, i.e: ruby on rails
