In the MVC architecture, the Controller determines which View should be displayed next based on the user's interactions or the changes in the application's state.
Here is how the controller handles this:
User Interactions:
When the user interacts with the application, such as clicking a button or submitting a form, the controller captures these inputs.
The Controller processes the input to determine what action to take, which could be fetching data from the Model or triggering some business logic.
Interacting with the Model:
After processing the user input, the Controller may need to interact with the Model to retrieve or update data.
The Model contains the core logic and data of the application, and the Controller requests or manipulates data here based on user actions.
Choosing the Next View:
Once the Controller has processed the input and updated or retrieved the necessary data from the Model, it determines which View should be presented to the user next.
The Controller directs the flow of the application by choosing the appropriate View to display, ensuring that the UI reflects the current state of the data.
