Abstract

AbstractCreating GUI programs is hard even for prototyping purposes. Using the model-view paradigm makes it somewhat simpler since the model-view paradigm dictates that the model contains no GUI programming, as this is done by the views. Still, a lot of GUI programming is needed to implement the views.We present a new method for constructing GUI applications that fits well in the model-view paradigm. Novel in our approach is that the views also contain no actual GUI programming. Instead, views are constructed in a fully compositional way by defining a model of the view. We use a technique developed earlier to generate the GUI part. We show how the method supports flexibility, compositionality and incremental change by introducing abstract components in the view models.KeywordsGraphical User InterfacesGeneric and Functional Programming
