Actually my response was somewhat premature (or at least addressed the wrong issue):
It seems fine to me that a {{render}}
helper would reuse a controller as a default, but I think you’ll want something tied to a specific model rather than just {{render 'someTemplateAndController}}
. It’s not perfect, but keep in mind that today you can do {{render 'someTemplateAndController' someModel}}
, and this form will not reuse an existing controller but will create a new one for you.
