Architecture
============

Overview
========

MVC YUI
~~~~~~~

Juju-gui is based on yui's backbone style app framework. The official docs
for this are highly recommended for developers:
http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/app/

An overview of the individual pieces.

- Router - Route dispatch by url, saves and restores url state.
  http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/router/

- Views - Rendering of a view
  http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/view/index.html

- Model - Domain objects with change events
  http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/model/
  http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/model-list/

Environment Integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The gui connects and communicates to the environment over a web socket
connection.

RPC Calls
~~~~~~~~~

Completion callbacks can be used with any of the methods on the environment.
Multiple calls are done in parallel.

RPC Events
~~~~~~~~~~

Messages from the backend for known rpc operation results are messaged out as
Environment events.

Delta Stream
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A stream of object changes, used to update models.

Scenarios

  -- subscribe()
  -- delta

We have multiple object states for a given.
