OOP in Bash script

Wait, what?

Prelude about OOP

According to wikipedia, OOP is a programming paradigm or technique based on the concept of "objects". The object structure contain data and behaviour.

Data is the object's state, which should be isolated and must be private.

Error Handling in Practice

My experience is mostly with Java backend services in the cloud, so the advice in this post will almost certainly be biased towards this kind of error handling. But hopefully, some of it will be generally applicable and help you maintain and debug your programs in the long run.

I don't claim that these are universal best practices, but I have found these to be useful as general guidelines. As always, use your best judgment and do things that make sense in your context.

Log the whole thing

In Java, a full exception is:

Find out where a function was called

function myFunc2Debug(){
	// output Linenumber and file where funcion was called.
	var_dump(debug_backtrace(DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS, 1));
}


myFunc2Debug();

Basic JavaScript MVC Implementation

Despite being derived from classical MVC pattern JavaScript and the environment it runs in makes Javascript MVC implementation have its own twists. Lets see how typical web MVC functions and then dive into simple, concrete JavaScript MVC implementation.

How Web MVC typically works

Typical server-side MVC implementation has one MVC stack layered behind the singe point of entry. This single point of entry means that all HTTP requests, e.g. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com/whichever-page/ etc., are routed, by a server configuration, through one point or, to be bold, one file, e.g. index.php.

At that point, there would be an implementation of Front Controller pattern which analyzes HTTP request (URI at first place) and based on it decides which class (Controller) and its method (Action) are to be invoked as a response to the request (method is name for function and member is name for a variable when part of the class/object).
