Can your framework do this?

Can you do.js

//- CONTROLLER -

$.Controller("Tabs",{
  "li click" : function(){

  }
})

// will automatically create a jQuery plugin like:

$('#mytabs').tabs()

/*
  When this tab widget is crated, it automatically delegates
  all event handlers that look like "li click".
  
  It adds the instance of the plugin to jQuery.data for easy debugging.
  It adds a 'tabs' className to #mytabs for easy debugging.

  You can completely teardown the plugin (and event handlers) like:
*/

$('#mytabs').tabs("destroy")

// Controller is essentially the perfect plugin: 
//   http://jupiterjs.com/news/writing-the-perfect-jquery-plugin

//- MODEL - 

$.Model('Todo',{
  findAll : '/todos.json'
  attributes : {
    dueDate : 'date'
  }
},{
  prettyDate : function(){
    return (this.dueDate > new Date() ? "the future" : "the past")
  }
})

// The following will go to /todos.json, convert dueDate to a JS date and 
// wrap each todo with the prettyDate helper function:

Todo.findAll({}, function(recipes){
  alert('the first recipe is in '+recipes[0])
})

/**
 You can add to model,
   Lists
   Validations
   Associations
   Backup / Restore
   Client side storage
   Property binding
 */

//- VIEW -

// call templates like:

$("#content").html('//path/to/template.ejs',{  });

// packaged the processed template with your production script like:

steal.views('//path/to/template.ejs')

 These are just a tiny fraction of the good stuff in just the MVC parts.  
 I could go on about the features: http://jupiterjs.com/news/javascriptmvc-features
 but no one likes smug  ;-).  But a few follow up qs 
 */

// How do you automate tests?
// How do you package a build?
// How do you document?

/**
 I don't know how someone could call JavaScriptMVC overkill if they are building 
 reasonably complex applications.  It makes everything you should be doing
 a lot easier.  Let me know what you think.  I love feedback.
