    text
    copied!<p>We are using one of the later versions of Ember (router V2), not the bleeding edge with the even newer Router V2.2 (Last commit: 668783a (2013-01-06 21:10:55 -0800))</p> <p>In our solution we have several View components (Grid, autocomplete, search views etc.). Some of these components access the store, models etc. so they have a controller that handles that work. These views are used in several templates throughout our solution.</p> <p>In the old version (pre2) we used those view components like this:</p> <pre><code>App.ConsoleView = Ember.View.extend({ templateName: 'console', searchView: App.SearchView.extend(), ..... }) </code></pre> <p>And in the console template we used the common view like this</p> <pre><code>{{view view.searchView controllerBinding='App.searchController'}} </code></pre> <p>I have always felt that this approach is not the best way, and with the new version of Ember it has smacked us on our fingers :)</p> <p>Now to the question: 'What is the recommended way to use a shared View in a template which needs a controller.'</p> <p>In the newer versions of Ember the template expression</p> <pre><code>{{view view.searchView controllerBinding='App.searchController'}} </code></pre> <p>does not work because App.searchController is no longer instantiated at the App namespace.</p> <p>I have thought of some choices but really don't like them.</p> <ol> <li>I could connect the controller to the 'parent controller' through the router, but then I would have to do this in every route where I use a shared component, and that would be a lot.</li> <li>I could fetch the controller through some hacky way and set it through the init function in the views init function.</li> </ol> <p>Does someone have any recommendations on how to do this a good way? I cannot find any documentation on this, and have run out of googlejuize.</p> <p>All responses will be appreciated!</p>
