Keith,
RevIgniter is a normal LiveCode collection of libraries. Have you read
the getting started guide at:
https://revigniter.com/userGuide/overview/getting_started.html
It will walk you through the concepts of MVC and how they are used in
RevIgniter. Basically your models are the stuff that touch data, views
are the templates that are shown to the user and controllers are where
the business logic is. You can also have libraries. So if your DocLogin
has a function that returns a token, you can call it from a model or a
controller and get the value.
There is really no "1 minute explanation" that will clear it all,
RevIgniter is quite easy and consistent but it requires you to go over
its documentation at least once. Some URLs of interest are:
https://revigniter.com/userGuide/overview/appflow.html
https://revigniter.com/userGuide/tutorials/chat.html
I recommend doing the tutorial a lot.
Cheers

Folks,
I’m struggling to get my head around revIgniter / MVC concepts and map basic LC
desktop concepts to the right places in LCS + revIgniter. (I’m still searching
for a 'Rosetta Stone’ to translate between these two worlds!)
My use case is to share public FAQs from specific pages designated as public in
our knowledge base. I have a basic LC desktop prototype that I’m migrating to
LCS + revIgniter. The desktop stack includes a single function stack script
that logs into the KB server as a proxy ‘public user' and returns an access
token string for subsequent page requests.
To migrate this across to the server environment, I have simply transferred the
stack script into a DocLogin.lc library file, replacing the final 'return “token”’
with put tToken into gData[“doc_token”] I may have misunderstood the revIgniter
docs that this is the way to get the data ‘back’ to the controller, rather than use
the desktop-style function do & return to a library (or stack) file?
A DocLogin.lc controller file then attempts to call the above library and open a
view file to check that the token is available via [[gData[“doc_token"] ]]
The controller is opening the view but the token merge field is not shown and
adding the generic rigShowError “message” alerts that the library couldn’t be
loaded.
I’d appreciate a steer as I’ve a feeling my approach here is fundamentally
wrong for the LCS + revIgniter way of working.
Thanks
Keith
