ASViewController is a subclass of UIViewController and adds the following features

• measurement handling
• additional memory management to help deep nativation stacks manage memory

An ASViewController can be used in place of any UIViewController - including within a UINavigationController, UITabBarController and UISpitViewController or as a modal view controller.

###Porting UIViewControllers to ASViewControllers### A UIViewController provides a view of its own. An ASViewController is assigned a node to manage in its designated initializer initWithNode:.

Consider the following ASViewController subclass that would like to use a custom table node as its managed node.

- (instancetype)initWithModel:(NSArray *)models
{
    ASTableNode *tableNode = [[ASTableNode alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];

    if (!(self = [super initWithNode:tableNode])) { return nil; }

    self.models = models;
    
    self.tableNode = tableNode;
    self.tableNode.dataSource = self;
    
    return self;
}
