Question

I’m trying to render a view Team inside of an {{outlet}}. This Team view is comprised of a simple Person view (the team leader), and a collection of Person views (team members). The outlet is set up by calling connectOutlet() on the ApplicationController.

Although the Person child views are rendered in the markup as expected, all the values of name are missing. It sure seems like my bindings and/or controller are not set up properly. What am I missing?

Code and demo: http://jsfiddle.net/aek38/fkKFJ/

The relevant handlebar templates are:

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="app">
    <div class="container">
        {{outlet}}
    </div>
</script>

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="person">
    <em>Person name is:</em> {{name}}
</script>

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="team">
    <h3>Team Leader</h3>
    <em>Leader name should be:</em>{{leader.name}}
    {{view App.PersonView contentBinding="leader"}}
    <h3>Team Members</h3>
    {{#collection contentBinding="members"}}
        {{view App.PersonView contentBinding="content"}}
    {{/collection}}
</script>

Code snippet:

App = Ember.Application.create({
ready: function() {
    this.initialize();
},
ApplicationController: Ember.Controller.extend(),
ApplicationView: Ember.View.extend({
    templateName: "app"
}),

Person: Ember.Object.extend({
    name: "Jane Doe"
}),
PersonController: Ember.ObjectController.extend(),
PersonView: Ember.View.extend({
    templateName: "person"
}),

Team: Ember.Object.extend({
    members: [],
    leader: null
}),
TeamController: Ember.ObjectController.extend(),
TeamView: Ember.View.extend({
    templateName: "team"
}),
// ...

You can use

{{view App.PersonView contextBinding="leader"}}

and use {{#each}} instead of {{#collection}} for the members
