Reading comments here and subsequently looking here I’m wondering if I’ve been doing MVC wrong. I’ve always thought the View calls data from the Model. However I see people load model data and then call the view via the controller.

Which is right?

📌

A controller services a request from a view by pushing back a model for a view to consume.

Controller receives request to fetch all active Contracts.

Controller instantiates the ContractHelper who is great at that kind of thing.

ContractHelper returns a list of ContractModels to the controller.

Controller returns the list to a view.

View loops through the Model and presents the Contract Summary page.
