大凡出名的MVC，MVVM框架都有todo例子，我们也搞一下看看avalon是否这么便宜。
我们先从react的todo例子中扒一下HTML与CSS用用。
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" data-framework="react">

<meta charset="utf-8">

<script src="js/todoModel.js"></script>
<!-- jsx is an optional syntactic sugar that transforms methods in React's

unrelated to React, we didn't need those transforms. -->
<script type="text/jsx" src="js/todoItem.jsx"></script>
<script type="text/jsx" src="js/footer.jsx"></script>
<script type="text/jsx" src="js/app.jsx"></script>
</body>
</html>
改成下面这样
<!doctype html>
<html lang="cn">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://todomvc.com/architecture-examples/react/bower_components/todomvc-common/base.css">

</html>
由于用了许多新标签与CSS3，因此肯定在旧式IE下一塌糊涂，大家需要在chrome下浏览。
我们添加一些avalon东西，改一下版权什么的

好了，有模有样了。我们添加一些实际功能了。todoMVC主要是演示往一个数组里添加东西，然后可以编辑删除它。那么我们就先得有一个变量来保存要添加的东西，及一个可以往里面添加的东西的数组。我把它们命名为newTodo与todos。添加是一个用户行为，因此我们需要一个addTodo的提交回调。

<style>
.ms-controller{
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
<script>
var model = avalon.define({
$id: "todo",
newTodo: "",
todos: [],
addTodo: function(e) {
e.preventDefault()//阻止页面刷新
var newTodo = model.newTodo.trim()
if (!newTodo.length) {
return
}
model.todos.push({
title: newTodo,
completed: false
});
model.newTodo = ""//清空内容
}
})
</script>
</head>
<body ms-controller="todo" class="ms-controller">

我们看到ms-visible是对应todos.size()而不是todos.length，那是因为数组的原生属性length无法hack进去，因此实现不了监控功能，实现不了监控也无法双向绑定了。
我们再来看如何实现编辑删除。编辑需要一个双击事件，并且一个时期内只能有一个todo处于编辑状态。这里我使用editingIndex属性，它是保存正在编辑的元素的索引值，如果不想编辑，将它置为NaN就行了。比如那个文本域绑定一个失去焦点事件，那个回调就是这样干。移除元素，直接使用ms-repeat绑定临时生成的$remove方法。
editingIndex: NaN,
editTodo: function($index) {
model.editingIndex = $index
//为了用户体验,有时不得不写一些DOM处理
var el = this.parentNode.parentNode
setTimeout(function() {//让光标定位于文本之后
var input = el.querySelector("input.edit")
input.focus()
input.value = input.value
})
},
doneEditing: function() {//还原
model.editingIndex = NaN
},
<ul id="todo-list">
<li ms-repeat-todo="todos" ms-class="completed: todo.completed" ms-class-1="editing: $index === editingIndex">
<div class="view">
<input class="toggle" type="checkbox" >
<label ms-dblclick="editTodo($index)">{{todo.title}}</label>
<button class="destroy" ms-click="$remove"></button>
</div>
<form>
<input class="edit" ms-duplex="todo.title" ms-blur="doneEditing" >
</form>
</li>
</ul>
接着来做全选非选功能，我们需要一个变量来保存全选状态，然后监听它来同步下面UI列表的checkbox的勾选情况，这个使用$watch回调实现就行了。但UI列表的每个元素的complete是否打勾也会影响到上方的全选checkbox，这时不可能为每个元素添加$watch回调，我们改用data-duplex-changed回调checkOne实现。
// 下面几行在define函数里
allChecked: false,
checkOne: function() {//点击UI列表的checkbox时
model.$unwatch() //阻止下面allChecked的$watch回调触发
model.allChecked = model.todos.every(function(val) {
return val.completed
})
model.$watch()
},
//这是在define函数外
model.$watch("allChecked", function(completed) {//点击上方checkbox时
model.todos.forEach(function(todo) {
todo.completed = completed
})
})
<section id="main" ms-visible="todos.size()" >
<input id="toggle-all" type="checkbox" ms-duplex-radio="allChecked">
<label for="toggle-all">Mark all as complete</label>
<ul id="todo-list">
<li ms-repeat-todo="todos" ms-class="completed: todo.completed" ms-class-1="editing: $index === editingIndex">
<div class="view">
<input class="toggle" type="checkbox" ms-duplex-radio="todo.completed" data-duplex-changed="checkOne">
<label ms-dblclick="editTodo($index)">{{todo.title}}</label>
<button class="destroy" ms-click="$remove"></button>
</div>
<form>
<input class="edit" ms-duplex="todo.title" ms-blur="doneEditing" >
</form>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
接着我们做页脚部分，这是有几个按钮，一个用来删除所有选中的todo，几个是用链接摸拟的，用于切换状态，还有一段描述文本。它们涉及到一个数组，用于装载三个状态值，一个表示当前状态的变量，还有两个数值remainingCount(当前有多少个todo没有被选中)，completedCount（当前有多少个todo被选中），还有一个事件回调，用于移除removeCompleted。
难点有两处。第一处是remainingCount与completedCount的计算，没有什么智能的计算方法，需要我们自己写一个方法，当数组的长度发生变化，用户点击了各种checkbox时触发。
第二个是状态值的表示，todoMVC要求它们首字母大写，这里我引入一个自定义过滤器capitalize实现它。

var model = avalon.define({

addTodo: function(e) {

if (!newTodo.length) {

model.todos.push({

model.newTodo = ""//清空内容

这就完了，当然有人可能问如何切换状态，在todoMVC里是使用路由系统实现，当我完善了自带的路由系统时再补上吧。总结一下，用avalon来实现todoMVC，所有JS代码与HTML行数是最少的。JS代码包括avalon库与用户写的代码。像angular，backbone, polymer虽然吹得这么响，它们在实现todoMVC时有许多部分是非常不直观的，冗长的，唯有avalon是最好的。
