View

The view is responsible for the user interface. It is the part of the application that is visible to users. In the MVVM pattern, the view is active. Unlike a passive role where the view is completely manipulated by a controller or a presenter, and does not have knowledge of the model, in MVVM views are aware of the model and ViewModel.

While views handle their own events, they do not maintain state. They must relay user actions to the ViewModel, which can be done through a mechanism such as data binding or commands. A goal with the MVVM pattern is to minimize the amount of code in views.
