Hello Model

Models are useful for updating controls based on data updates. Without models when data changes you need to manually update every control that is associated with the data (e.g. label, tableVIew, …). By binding your controls to a model, you can simply update the model’s data and all the controls will be updated automatically.

Here are the steps for a basic model demo. For reference, the online docs are here:

Jasmine and Ti-mocha are the two main unit test frameworks for titanium

Jasmine runs without requiring the app to run

Ti-mocha runs while the app is running

Using T-Mocha
