Pipe Architecture

Here’s a working architecture for modular applications utilizing PureMVC pipes.

This allows you to have modules that load modules that load modules, etc. The modules communicate to each other via Pipes.
The sample diagram illustrates a parent, child, grandchild relationship (An app that loads a module that loads module). You can of […]
