titanium how do i add a view to the single context - titanium

Question

So i have a titanium app, and i just read about single contexts. (Incidentally, somebody here should write a book about programming in titanium... the only one out there doesn't really mention single contexts or any of that new-fangled stuff. Heck, make it an eBook. I'd buy it)
The titanium documentation stresses their use (http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/Coding_Strategies-section-29004891_CodingStrategies-Executioncontexts) and then politely forgets how to implement a single context!!
So, question:
Let's say i have the awesomeWidget page - this just shows a button, and when you click on a button a new screen appears.
The aswesomeWidget page is accessed through another page - it is not from the root of the titanium app.
Keeping to single contexts, how do i add the view that the button creates to the current window?
Do I:
keep a global pointer to the current (and only) window?
pass the variable holding the current window down to all the following pages that use it
something else?

Answer 1

First off, Titanium keeps a reference to your current window anyway for you, so this use case is easy. For example:
awesomeWidgetButton.addEventListener('click' function(e) {
var yourView = Ti.UI.createView({...});
Titanium.UI.currentWindow.add(yourView);
});
If you want to dig further, the concept of a single context is closely tied to the use of CommonJS modules and the require keyword. It is very simple to keep a single context, just never open a window with the url component filled out, and liberally use the require() keyword. Other than that, its up to your imagination to keep track of who points to what and vice versa, there are standard patterns and best practices that apply here (MVC, Singletons, just keep it simple) just as in coding in any other language.
