Description

NewEdit uses Mixin and Plugin technique as its architecture. Most of class can be extended via mixin and plugins components, and finally become an integrity class at creating the instance. So NewEdit is very dynamic. You can write the new feature in new files, and hardly need to modify the existed code. And if you want to extend the existed class, you could write mixins and plugins, and this will be bound the target class that I call them "Slot Class". This techinique will make the changes centralized and easy managed.
