How to get a view in an Ember.js Router app

Question

If I need to refer to the view for a specific controller, how would I get it in a router based application.

I can get a controller like this

App.router.get('myController')

But the controller shouldn't and usually doesn't know about the view so

App.router.get('myController.view')

^-- Will not work

This also will not work:

App.router.get('myView')

Is there a correct way to grab it?

App.router.get('myController.view') should work fine, connectOutlet sets the view by the outlet's name onto the controller.

However, it is the outlet that is defined on the controller, not the view, so to get a basic view you will need to access it from the ApplicationController.

App.router.get('applicationController.view')

So what you are saying is if I want the view for controller N on the hierarchy, I need to ask controller N-1 for the view? How would I ask the `applicationController` for its view then? – wmarbut Sep 26 '12 at 13:03
`App.router.get('applicationController.view')` – Bradley Priest Sep 26 '12 at 13:10
Not working , It says Error: TypeError: undefined is not a function – Rahul_Dabhi Apr 30 '15 at 07:05
That question is from 2012, Ember has changed a lot since, and views are being phased out anyway. – spectras Nov 11 '15 at 18:06
