Architectural Patterns
Model–view–presenter (MVP) is a derivation of the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern, and is used mostly for building user interfaces. In MVP the presenter assumes the functionality of the "middle-man". In MVP, all presentation logic is pushed to the presenter.
Description: MVP is a user interface architectural pattern engineered to facilitate automated unit testing and improve the separation of concerns in presentation logic.
- The model is an interface defining the data to be displayed or otherwise acted upon in the user interface.
- The presenter acts upon the model and the view. It retrieves data from repositories (the model), and formats it for display in the view.
- The view is a passive interface that displays data (the model) and routes user commands (events) to the presenter to act upon that data.
