Document Behaviors

[magneticmg]

Supporting documentation for the rest of the behaviors and their types (MVC, DB).

• bring in references to the Event API work (some relevant stuff there)
• command pattern
• possible tutorial or tutorial reference (back to JTDoc#14)

(Consider breaking this up into smaller chunks/issues later)

MVC and Database

• View Behaviors
• Model Behaviors
• Controller Behaviors
• Database Behaviors

As a result of the workshop:

• Explain: Mixin.
  ++ Quick Mixin tutorial.
  ++ With quick explanation: Refer to Essentials piece.
• Explain: Command Chain
  ++ mixin command chain functionality
  ++ load commands into the queue
  ++ run() method, execute handlers when specific chain is invoked.
• Explain Behaviors as a combination of these previous two
  ++ Explain the database table behaviors first (as a functional example)
  +++ Table class Base: and then add functionality through mixing in the behavior.

@johanjanssens, am putting this back on your radar. I've updated the ticket description with links to the pieces that support this ticket. I know you would like to rework Behaviors in general, but I think in the mean time these are a good set of topical guides to give an overview of behaviors in the MVC and Database layers.

For the "Parameterizable" Piece Introduction

• Extend and tie into the EAV concept.

@magneticmg Oki, happy to move forward with this and get it out. Suggest we tackle these one by one instead of being part of one big issue. I would approach it as follows. First finish the general piece about the behaviors and second tackle the database behaviors. With the parameterizable behvavior out this makes most sense. Database behaviors are also the most easy to explain.

From there we can continue with controller, model and view behaviors.

Thougths ?
