Controllers

Why do we call this a micro-mvc framework? Well, our controllers are lighter weight than traditional MVC frameworks.

Controllers do not relate to pages, they most often relate to centralized pieces of business logic. This could be as simple as making a single API endpoint and caching the results or as complex as making multiple dependent API calls and combinatory logic.

Not only do have a centralized place for handling complex business logic, fetching API data, and updating our FE global state, but we also have a robust middleware system similar to express or koa!

In the following sections we will discuss how to create controllers and the different use cases for them inside starfx.
