Question

I’m trying to learn some Ember.js and while I realize everything is in flux and the moment, it seems that this bit of code from the Sproutcore 2 guides (which are linked to at the Ember.js github readme) doesn’t work any longer:

   App.userController = SC.ObjectController.create({
        content: SC.Object.create({
        firstName: "Albert",
        lastName: "Hofmann",
        posts: 25,
        hobbies: "Riding bicycles"
      })
    });

Looking at the ember.js source, the only type of controller that seems to be supported is an arryay controller. Is there an established best practice for proxying between a single model object that is not part of an array/collection and a view? Or do people forego the proxying and simply set up bindings directly between the model and view objects? Thoughts?

UPDATED: Yes, Ember.ObjectController is a first-class part of Ember and is most frequently used to proxy a model’s properties for easy rendering by templates. See http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.ObjectController.html for documentation.
