# Controllers
In Frappe.js you can extend the metadata class as well as the document class for a particular DocType.
You can write event handlers in controllers, by declaring a `.js` file in the `models/doctype/` folder along with the model file.
## Naming
1. The name of the controller class must be the slugged name of the DocType (example `todo`)
2. The name of the `meta` class must be the name of the controller class prefixed by `meta_` (example `meta_todo`)
To add a standard handler, you must bind all handlers in `setup` method.
## Document Controller
You can bind events to the controller that will be called when an action is completed on a document or its property.
The document controller represents a single record and is subclassed from the `frappe.document.Document` class
```js
const frappe = require('frappejs');
// extend the document and add event handlers
class todo extends frappe.document.Document {
setup() {
this.add_handler('validate');
}
validate() {
if (!this.status) {
this.status = 'Open';
}
}
}
```
## Metadata Controller
The `meta` class contains actions that are done on a group of objects and a document represents a single object. So properties and actions related to the group will be part of the `meta` class.
```js
// extend the meta class
class todo_meta extends frappe.meta.Meta {
setupMeta() {
Object.assign(this, require('./todo.json'));
this.name = 'ToDo';
this.list_options.fields = ['name', 'subject', 'status', 'description'];
}
getRowHTML(data) {
return `<a href="#edit/todo/${data.name}">${data.subject}</a>`;
}
}
```
### Controller Events
Standard events on which you can bind handlers are
- `before_insert`
- `before_update`
- `validate` (called before any write)
- `after_insert`,
- `after_update` (called after any write)
- `before_submit`
- `after_submit`
- `before_cancel`
- `after_cancel`
- `before_delete`
- `after_delete`
