FYI: Deprecation of how to access properties of individual objects within HandleBar templates within Ember applications.

Hi Kevin,

Don't you mind if I ask you a question similar to the issue, you meant here? Inside {{#each}} helper, how should we pass a variable to {{view}}?

Say we have {{#each item in items}} loop. I can easily pass "item" to {{#link-to}} or to {{action}} as a second argument but it just doesn't go in {{view}}. I've tried property binding - it doesn't work either.

Hi, Nikolay Batrakov:

I'm slightly confused by your question. If it's a controller, make sure you're using the appropriate type of controller (ObjectController, ArrayController, and etc.)

If you mean a component, you typically bind the context the following way:

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="modelProfilePage">
  {{#each indvidualModel in model }}
    {{model-details supermodel=individualModel}}
{{/each}}
</script>


<script type="components/model-details">
  <h1>{{supermodel.firstName}} {{supermodel.lastName}}</h1>
</script>

I'm sorry, I probably shall give a code example. That one is a bit dumb, for education purpose only :)

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="index">
  {{#each item in model}}
     <li>{{item}}</li>
     <li>{{view.alertField}}</li>
  {{/each}}
</script>

//in app.js

var view = Ember.View.Create({
  templateName: 'index',
  alertField: 'Click me',
  click: function() {
    alert("Hi!");
  }
});

How can I pass an item to the view to use it as a argument for alert? If I use components, I have no problems at all.

Hello again, Nikolay Batrakov:

You shouldn't have to refer to the variable identifier of the controller of an Ember app that way at all.

You can actually use a view not unlike my component example; it's just that you can use the Ember App's variable identifer to then specify what controller is associated with your use of #view w/ Ember.View:

{{#view 'App.modelDetailView' tag="section"}}

{{/view}}

It's not too unlike the way you refer to regular Ember controller properties after you set things up this way.
