If we search Google using the phrase “differences between MVC, MVP & MVVM design pattern” then we may get a few URL’s which discuss the difference between MVC MVP & MVVM design pattern theoretically like:
MVP
Use in situations where binding via a “dataContext” is not possible.
Windows Forms is a perfect example of this. In order to separate the view from the model, a presenter is needed. Since the view cannot directly bind to the presenter, information must be passed to the view via an interface (IView).
MVVM
Use in situations where binding via a “dataContext” is possible. Why? The various IView interfaces for each view are removed which means less code to maintain.
Some examples where MVVM is possible to include WPF and javascript projects using Knockout.
MVC
Use in situations where the connection between the view and the rest of the program is not always available (and you can’t effectively employ MVVM or MVP).
This clearly describes the situation where a web API is separated from the data sent to the client browsers. Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC is a great tool for managing such situations and provides a very clear MVC framework
But I have not found a single article which discusses the difference theoretically along with sample code.
It would be really nice if I get an article that discusses the difference between these 3 design patterns (MVC, MVP & MVVM) along with code.
I’d like to get my hands on the source code of 3 similar CRUD apps that have been implemented by these three design patterns (MVC, MVP & MVVM). So that I can go through the code and understand how one should write code for these three design pattern (MVC, MVP & MVVM).
So if any such article exists which discusses how code would look different for these 3 design patterns (MVC, MVP & MVVM) then please redirect me to that article.
