Walk into a room full of Web developers (which is rare – web devs don’t get along, mainly because they are MEAN. *pun intended*) and you will likely be bombarded with mentions of Node.js, Angular or React.

All these modern Web technologies are built upon the basic structure of MVC architectural pattern. Lettuce taco about it *huehuehue*.

Model: Structures your data in a reliable form and prepares it based on controller’s instructions

View: Displays data to user in easy-to-understand format, based on the user’s actions

Controller: Takes in user commands, sends commands to the model for data updates, sends instructions to view to update interface.

Let me draw MVC like one of my French girls.

It is finally Taco Tuesday, and you walk to the waitress. You finally catch a breathe and blurt out, “One Double Decker Chicken Supreme Taco with extra cheese, please!”

You are the user, and your taco order is the request. To you, the Double Decker Chicken Supreme Taco is your favourite taco, and you pretty reliably know that this will be an ultra spicy, will-regret-in-the-morning but worth-the-money taco.

To the waitress, the Double Decker Chicken Supreme Taco is merely a series of steps:

The waitress’s brain is the controller. As soon as you say the word “Double Decker Chicken Supreme Taco” in a language that they understand, the work begins. This work is similar in nature to making a Soft Taco or Fiery Taco, but uses distinct ingredients that will never be confused. This limited tool set is the model, and includes the following:

Finally, the finished taco that you gorge upon is the view. The view is built out of the limited options from the model, and arranged via the controller (that is, the waitress’s brain).

Here is how the same process plays out in a modern web app:

The user makes a request along a route, `let’s say /about.`

The controller receives this request and gives a specific set of orders that are related to that route. These instructions could be for the model to perform specific logic.

The model carries out the logic, pulls from a database and sends back a response based on the controller’s instructions.

The controller then passes this data to the view to update the user interface.

If you have been to a taco shop, then MVC ain’t that hard.

Ishan is a final year student at SRMIST, Chennai who enjoys building things that live on the internet. He develops exceptional websites and web apps that provide intuitive, pixel-perfect user interfaces with efficient and modern backends.

Talking in third person about himself makes him uncomfortable.

He heads SRMKZILLA – the official Mozilla Campus Club of SRMIST where he breaks builds (especially on Fridays) with some really cool people. He also volunteers and leads everything software at Aaruush. He used to lead the Technical team at DSC SRM – powered by Google Developers where he worked on a wide variety of interesting and meaningful projects on a daily basis.

TL;DR: He ardours software and toils to craft beautiful, beautiful products that don't come with manuals.

Ishan wants a doggo but is unlikely to get one (cc: Paapa).

identity-hero.webm

The easy way to sign into websites. Built with privacy in mind.

We are done with creating accounts everywhere. We are so done with creating accounts everywhere. Identity is a free-of-cost authentication service that lets you outsource handling user authentication. Be it requesting a set of user data or provisioning access tokens, Identity gives you the wall. So you can focus on building great stuff behind the wall.

Identity comes with a strict No Paracetamol Policy. With SDKs for some of the most popular libraries and frameworks out there, integrating Identity into your app is a walk in the park. And with to-the-point docs built on Redox, the developer experience becomes quite delightful.

Security from the core. Security to the bones.

Identity's a play. Security is its protagonist. Identity is built with security and privacy in mind so you can stay safe across the web.

Choose what you share about you with a third-party application. Revoke scopes of your data for any app any time. You're in the driver's seat. Honestly.

Magic de la Identity just got factored up.

Identity supports and mandates 2FA out-of-the-box. Security is at the forefront. So much that we've created Credentials, a mobile app that helps you with your TOTP login codes.

Identity is an IdP service that lives on the web and painlessly integrates with your apps in making. Identity helps you authorize users so you can focus on what you're building. A single SRMKZILLA ID to log into services eliminates the pain of remembering passwords. And provides you with the security of your data of which you are in control. It's a win-win-win.
