*Absolute.js*
It's a front-end controller framework for jaggery. As opposed to Caramel -
Absolute.js follows a controller first approach to MVC.
Below diagram shows the difference of Caramel and Absolute.js

What absolute.js lacks at the moment is the ability to intercept the view
depending on the theme. This is a functionality provided by Caramel.
I see Caramel as a theming framework rather than an MVC framework. We can
combine both principles and build better framework. Then we will be
overriding controller functions as opposed to the pages (.jag files).
I have made the resolve functions pluggable to absolute.js to support any
kind of routing functions required.

With the above method we can follow routes as -
/publisher/api - API route
/publisher/{assetType}/{controller}/{view}
Eg:------------------------------------------
/publisher/mobileapps/main/index
If a person calls the /publisher/ this will call the main controller's
index function which resides in a file called main.js in assets folder. For
more understanding please go through the github project.
Thanks.
