Show data in a view

Problem

You want to display data loaded in your view in the view's template.

Solution

Access any properties in the template's view with the view property.

Details

As long as the view subclasses CocoView or one of its subclasses (RootView, ModalView, etc), the template is rendered with a common context. This context always includes a view property, which provides access to, for example, models and collections loaded by the view.

Examples

FooView.coffee

RootView = require 'views/core/RootView'
Foos = require 'collections/Foos'
utils = require 'core/utils'

class FoosView extends RootView
  template: require 'templates/foos-view'
  initialize: (options, doodadID) ->
    @foos = new Foos()
    @supermodel.trackRequest(@foos.fetchForDoodad(doodadID))

foos-view.jade

extends /templates/base

block content
  h1 All the Foos
  ul
    for foo in view.foos.models
      li= foo.get('name')

  h1 Foos Where Bar Is True
  ul
    for foo in view.foos.where({bar: true})
      li= foo.get('name')
