View with js plugin/widget rendering flow

[danielesalvatore]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know what is the best work-flow and code organization to render a page with a UI widget in it (any of the UI graphic library, e.g. a dropdown, image gallery or whatever).

My current configuration/flow is:

(router triggers page change, dispatcher listen to it and initialize Module Controller)
Controller initialization.
Controller action invocation.
Within this action, the view is instantiated and set as controller property.
Controller call a view method to render third party UI object (a different call from the automatic call of render(). Given that i pre-load the template with RequireJS this should be always a sync call ).
Within this view's method, the third party lib is called and the UI object rendered.

I would appreciate some feedback about this flow or the best practice to do so.
Would it be better to override the render() method?

Thank you very much for your support.
