 Instantiating controllers

Controllers shoudl be instantiated in the document ready callback.  You instatiate then by calling

new <constructor>('#<div

...

name

...

to

...

attach

...

to>', {

...

<parameters>

...

}

...

)

<parameters>

...

is

...

available

...

inside

...

the

...

init:

...

function

...

as

...

this.

...

options 

You should use parameters to pass through any models for view construction

3. Instantiating view

Views should be instantiated in the controller init: function and are created by calling

can.view(<path

...

to

...

ejs

...

file>, {<parameters>]})

...

The

...

view

...

shoudl

...

be

...

attached

...

to

...

the

...

contoller's

...

element

...

at

...

this.element.html

...

4.  Creating Observables

An observable can be created by using new can.

...

Observe({<data fields>})

The observable should be passed through in a parameter in the can.view() call for use by the ejs code
