Underscore prefix indicates that the function is created and performed by Alloy. All non-Alloy functions below will be optional;

• __init - Establish $ as this
• prelayout - Before any UI is created. Good time to update Alloy.CFG with runtime values for use in styles.
• __layout - All UI elements are created and added to the view hierarchy
• postLayout - Everything is prepared, this is where the bulk of the code will go and where beginners will spend all their time.

Alloy Notes

Blockers

None

Framework Needs

• Need attributes for basic logic (if this, show this)
• Need attribute for not adding something to the view hierarchy automatically
• Need to use JS in XML attributes - use case: use L() macro for TextField hintText property
