<p>
IWM Browser Applications follow a common three phase pattern, shared by many programming environments as diverse as Processing, Arduino, Intern, etc.
<ul>
<li>Instantiate: Initialize the application, in this case a singleton and it's instance variables</li>
<li>Setup: Build more complex parts of the application, by loading data, creating the UI...</li>
<li>Run: Enter and run the main loop of the application.</li>
</ul>
This pattern is reflected by the IApp Interface:
</p>
<pre><code class="js">
class IApp extends Interface {
setup() { return this }
run() { return this }
}
</code></pre>
<p>In practice the pattern may be more complex, because the setup phase can only be entered after loading things, a main loop cannot be entered because requirements are not met, etc. But the basic structure is always the same:
</p>
<script type="module" class="doctest">
console.log("Innerhalb script type=module")
import App from "./app.js"
const app = new App()
app.setup()
app.run()
window.app = app
</script>
<p>The setup and run methods can also be chained:
</p>
<script type="module" class="doctest">
app.setup().run()
</script>
