— I chenck
The parts that are not working OK are the componentUpdate part, it's because the child views dont know if they need to re-render
— I do have a force argument that makes that render happen, I just don't know how to tell those child views: "Hey! Something deleted your DOM elements! Re render now!"
— A Virtual DOM would fix this... I am seeing that... haha
— Hhahaha
— The diff is a problem
— Right, since a view wont render if the data is the same as what it has... this is good if it's elements are in the DOM, but if they aren't, you get blank spots the next time you try to render it
— I am thinking the easiest solution would be... a controllerview that is trying to render can find all the other controllerviews that are on the same level in the heirarchy as itself, then call a resetState interface on all of those, deleting state for the child views
— If extend de Element object and include the update data info
— And refactoring the diff object function
— The only Element include logic for re-render or not
— So use the DOM for view state instead of an object stored in the child view?
