Question

Template controlled by someParentController

{{#each post in content}}
{{view App.PostView postBinding="post"}}
{{/each}}

Setting an instance of the controller on the view

App.PostView = Ember.View.extend
  post: null # set when the view is created
  controller: App.PostController.create()
  templateName: 'post.handlebars'

Now my view instance has the context instead of my controller instance. Is there a cleverer way to handle this? I would use an {{outlet}} if I was routing to a particular post, but the main template is displaying all posts. I want each to post to have its own controller though. It doesn’t seem right to create an outlet for every post since you cannot namespace a dynamic number of outlets.

You can bypass the view entirely by using the following syntax on your action helpers in post.handlebars.

{{action someMethodOnController context="post" target="controller"}}
