Iris has **first-class support for the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern**, you'll not find
these stuff anywhere else in the Go world.
Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding
with the fastest possible execution.
**Characteristics**
All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET`
then the controller should have a function named `Get()`,
you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller struct.
Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests)
via `iris:"persistence"` tag right to the field or Bind using `app.Controller("/" , new(myController), theBindValue)`.
Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View)
via `iris:"model"` tag right to the field, i.e ```User UserModel `iris:"model" name:"user"` ``` view will recognise it as `{{.user}}`.
If `name` tag is missing then it takes the field's name, in this case the `"User"`.
Access to the request path and its parameters via the `Path and Params` fields.
Access to the template file that should be rendered via the `Tmpl` field.
Access to the template data that should be rendered inside
the template file via `Data` field.
Access to the template layout via the `Layout` field.
Access to the low-level `context.Context` via the `Ctx` field.
Flow as you used to, `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`,
including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected.
Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution,
useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data.
Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed.
Inheritance, see for example our `mvc.SessionController`, it has the `mvc.Controller` as an embedded field
and it adds its logic to its `BeginRequest`, [here](https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/mvc/session_controller.go).
**Using Iris MVC for code reuse**
By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user.
If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that [wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller).
You can serve [quicktemplate](https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate) files too, simply by using the `context#ResponseWriter`, take a look at the [http_responsewriter/quicktemplate](http_responsewriter/quicktemplate) example.
> The `context.Request()` returns the same *http.Request you already know, these examples show some places where the Context uses this object. Besides that you can use it as you did before iris.
### How to Write to `context.ResponseWriter() http.ResponseWriter`
> The `context.ResponseWriter()` returns an enchament version of a http.ResponseWriter, these examples show some places where the Context uses this object. Besides that you can use it as you did before iris.
The package is designed to work with raw websockets although its API is similar to the famous [socket.io](https://socket.io). I have read an article recently and I felt very contented about my decision to design a **fast** websocket-**only** package for Iris and not a backwards socket.io-like package. You can read that article by following this link: https://medium.com/@ivanderbyl/why-you-don-t-need-socket-io-6848f1c871cd.
> You're free to use your own favourite websockets package if you'd like so.
### Typescript Automation Tools
typescript automation tools have their own repository: [https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/typescript](https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/typescript) **it contains examples**
> I'd like to tell you that you can use your favourite but I don't think you will find such a thing anywhere else.
### Hey, You!
Developers should read the [godocs](https://godoc.org/github.com/kataras/iris) for a better understanding.
Psst, I almost forgot; do not forget to [star or watch](https://github.com/kataras/iris/stargazers) the project in order to stay updated with the latest tech trends, it never takes more than a second!
