## HOW TO GUIDE

mattapperson

In your Alloy project, add the alloy.jmk file to the app folder and create a directory called template, in the template directory, add the component.js file. Then simply start building your alloy apps with commonjs style controller.
Want to require in another controller? simply access it like this:

var otherController = require('otherController').class;

Events are now namespaced to the `C` variable for views.

// Please note that this is a dirty solution. 
// It does work, but Appcelerator does not support it (adding things to the Ti namespace).
// There is a very good chance that it will not be possible in future releases.

var ui = {};
var labels = {};

Ti.include('ui.js');
Ti.include('labels.js');

A Rough Flow for a simple, secure web API

• Step One: Third party app developer (hereafter "the app") registers an application with the service provider (called here and afterwards "the service provider"), like Twitter or Gimme Bar. The app receives an API key, where it is made explicitly clear that storing username/password combinations is not necessary and is a violation of the terms of service for the API.

• Step Two: Over SSL/TLS, the app exchanges a username/password combination given to them by the end user, and provides it to the service provider, along with their API key in exchange for an access token.

####But wait, isn't that insecure? Why is the user giving you their password? oAuth prevents this!!!!

If the app is a malicious mobile or desktop application, the app can very easily steal your password if desired - the app can redirect you to a "web browser", which it controls, and steal your username and password if the app is a dick. This is only one avenue of several a malicious app
