Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mousevc'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mousevc

1. Require Mousevc

   require 'mousevc'

2. Create a view in your views directory

   <%# views/show_cheese.txt.erb %>
   
   Hello Mousevc!
   I like <%= @cheese %>!
   What kind of cheese do you like?

   1. Or just use a string!

   view = %Q{<%# views/show_cheese.txt.erb %>\nHello Mousevc!\nI like <%= @cheese %>!\nWhat kind of cheese do you like?}

3. Create your default controller

   # jerry_controller.rb
   
   class JerryController < Mousevc::Controller
   	def find_cheese
   		view = %Q{<%# views/show_cheese.txt.erb %>\nHello Mousevc!\nI like <%= @cheese %>!\nWhat kind of cheese do you like?}
   		cheese = @model.cheese
   		@view.render(view, :cheese => cheese)
   		Mousevc::Input.prompt
   	end
   end

4. Create the corresponding model

   # jerry_model.rb
   
   class JerryModel < Mousevc::Model
   	def cheese
   		@cheese = "Swiss cheese"
   	end
   end

5. Create a class that extends Mousevc::App

   • NOTE: as of v0.0.6 Mousevc requires that the views path be absolute, e.g "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/views"

   # jerry.rb
   
   class Jerry < Mousevc::App
   end
   
   Jerry.new(
   	:controller => 'JerryController',
   	:model => 'JerryModel',
   	:action => :find_cheese,
   	:views => "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/views"
   ).run

6. Run mouse run!

   $ ruby jerry.rb

7. Enjoy the view!

   Hello Mousevc!
   I like Swiss cheese!
   What kind of cheese do you like?
