Question

I made a small mixin for the Chosen plugin that worked well in this fiddle.

When I use this in my ember-rails application the chosen box shows up, but has no options. I think it is related to my using ArrayController.extend vs Object.create (in the fiddle), but I can’t figure out why. When I change extend to create in rails, it tries to create the controller twice and gives an error.

Ember changes so fast, did I miss something from the fiddle version to the ember-rails version?

Looking at your code, it seems that you’re using the routing. Nice. You understood that when using routing, the controllers are instantiated for you by the framework, and each xxxView has its xxxController instance, accessible by the controller property.

in repos.handlebars, try to directly use `controller’.

<div class="container top-section">
  {{view Watchd.ChosenSelect
    contentBinding="controller.content"
    valueBinding="controller.selected"
  }}
</div>
