Internal MVC Execution Order

[brackets] indicate "only if utilized" (optional)

• [APP_CONSTRUCT]
  • default helpers
    • controller::action
      • [components] / [models]
        • view
          • [elements (in view)]
            • layout
              • [elements (in layout)]
                • [APP_DESTRUCT]

Internal Object Execution Order

Instantiate __construct() of objects:

• mvc
• configInit
• configDefaults
• config
• (if lazy-loading is disabled) instantiate database connection(s)

Call methods:

• (only if caching is enabled) config::cache()
• mvc::_parseUrl()
• (only if defined in .config) {config::APP_CONSTRUCT}::__construct()
• mvc::_loadAction()
• load each helper that is defined in config::$helpers via exampleHelper::__construct()
• {mvc::$controller}::{mvc::$action}()
  • if no action is set or an action does not exist while optionalAction is true then {mvc::$controller}::index()
• call any models and/or components defined within the controller as they are encountered
  • (if lazy-loading is enabled) instantiate database connection for the model via model ("model" is the actual object name)
• parse the view via mvc::_loadView()
  • call any elements within the view as they are encountered via get::element() and/or load::element()
• parse the layout and embed the view contents into the layout
  • call any elements within the layout as they are encountered via get::element() and/or load::element()
• (only if defined in .config) {config::APP_DESTRUCT}::__construct()
