I will try to explain it simplest as i can: MVC Framework – Is a framework, that uses MVC software architectural pattern. This pattern sepatares logic in Controller, data in Models, and HTML code in Views. This 3 are separated in different files, so code is cleaner. Event Driven Pattern – Is a software architecture … Read more
WordPress dosen’t follow MVC (Model-View-Controller) nor is written with OOP approach in mind. Anyway you can write your plugins with a MVC pattern or using OOP. One excelent tool to use MVC in WordPress is WP MVC
The template_redirect hook might be what you are looking for. function template_redir_wpse_97289($content) { // code or file include, for example } add_filter(‘template_redirect’,’template_redir_wpse_97289′,1); That will fire just before the page template is loaded so you could use it to load your own templates.
Though WordPress already has a basic .js API (with register and enqueue script), I don’t see why you cannot use it in conjunction with require.js, at least at the modular level. From what I can tell (never used it) it only needs to be loaded, so you can, wp_enqueue_script( $handle, ‘…folder../require.js’, $deps, $ver, $in_footer ); … Read more

If you plan to use it just for your own code, and have it running alongside WordPress’ default database driver (wpdb), I see no real problems. It’s only if you plan on fully integrating/overriding WP’s driver that I see it being near-impossible; hard-coded SQL is prolific throughout core, and translating them to ActiveRecord method calls … Read more
I thought I would provide you with another approach. It is also a bit hackish, but it is general purpose and allows you to simply register the filename and label that you want to use, like so: if ( class_exists( ‘WPSE_196995_Page_Templates’ ) ) { WPSE_196995_Page_Templates::register_page_template( ‘My Page Template’, ‘my-page-template.php’ ); } You could add the … Read more
Note that plugins are all “controllers” by WP standards. It depends on what the plugin is supposed to do, but in all cases I would try to separate the screen output from the PHP code as much as possible. Here’s one way to do that easily – first, define a function that loads the template: … Read more
