ViewInView

The ViewInView feature is a way to bring in a view within a view. It is another way to add a Nested ViewModel that does not use the table grid. ViewInView uses the mount strategy to add Nested ViewModels. The Mounted ViewModel is merged into the view where it is mounted.

Mounted ViewModels can be used to display data from association links.

Example

Showing a category and its products without using the Nested ViewModel.

Mounted ViewModel Example

1. Create the ViewModel to be mounted; the ViewModel should be rooted for instance attributes.

5. Set the ViewModel property to the ViewModel to be mounted.

The ViewInView widget is also available in the context menu of the ViewModel.
