Getting access to Ember ApplicationController from another view

ember.js

Solution

Specify `needs` in your view's controller

App.UsersController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  needs: ['application']
});

In your view you can then access the application controller as follows

controllers.application

In your example

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="users">
  {{view Ember.Select
         contentBinding="controllers.application.users"
         optionValuePath="content.id"
         optionLabelPath="content.fullName"
         selectionBinding="controllers.application.selectedUser"}}

  selected user: {{controllers.application.selectedUser.fullName}}
</script>

Problem

I would like to init a list of all users in ApplicationController and then show them in dropdown in another view. How can I get access to the ApplicationController from different views? Here is relevant code: ``` App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({ setupController:function(controller) { controller.set('users', App.User.find()); controller.set('selectedUser', null); } }); <script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="users"> {{view Ember.Select contentBinding="App.ApplicationController.users" optionValuePath="content.id" optionLabelPath="content.fullName" selectionBinding="App.ApplicationControllerselectedUser"}} selected user: {{App.ApplicationController.selectedUser.fullName}} </script> ```
