$(document).ready(function () {
  $(document).module({
    services: {
      helpers: {
        parseTaskName: function (name) {
          // Do some parsing...
          return name;
        }
      },
      
      taskRepository: {
        find: function (id) {},
        list: function (params) {},
        create: function (data) {},
        update: function (task) {},
        delete: function (task) {}
      }
    }
  })
  $("#app").module({
    init: function () {
      // Do your module initialization magic here... :)
    },
    
    // Search for all jQuery objects in module root and store the to the module object.
    // All components will be stored in the module object with "quot; prefix.
    components: {
      input: 'input#task-input'
    },
    
    // Services can be reused in other registred modules.
    services: {
      helpers: 'helpers',
      taskRepository: 'taskRepository'
    },
    
    actions: {
      createTask: function () {
        var task = this.taskRepository.create({
          name: this.helper.parseTaskName(this.$input.val())
        });
        
        // Call action and pass parameters
        this.action('updateTaskList', task);
      },
      
      updateTaskList: function (task) {
        // Update task list view
      }
    },
    
    events: {
      // Event type ( selector ) : handler action
      'click(#createTask)': 'createTask'
    }
  });
});
