Lifecycle
Understanding the lifecycle of a request in Cherrycake will give you valuable insight on how it works.
We'll first go through a simplified version of the lifecycle of a request, assuming we're building a website application and our client is a web browser.
To do so, Actions checks the requested route to see which modules have mapped an action. If it founds a mapped action that matches the current request, loads and runs the module who mapped it.
Let's say the browser requested the home of our website by requesting the
/
route, and that this route has been mapped by a module we called Home. Cherrycake loads this module and runs it:Home is an app module (as opposed to a core module), and is in charge of showing the home page of the website. To do so, Home uses the Patterns core module to load an HTML file from disk and then send it to the browser. Since the Patterns module has not been loaded yet, Cherrycake loads it automatically:
