		"description": "The ability to create views without a controller is quite nice, but it could be taken a step further. During development of a recent application I built numerous controllers with only 1 or 2 lines of code to set properties of elements in the view. For example:\r\n\r\n{code:JavaScript|title=Index.js}\r\nAlloy.createController(\"MyView\", {\r\n\tlabelText: \"Hello, World!\",\r\n\timageUrl: \"/images/test.png\"\r\n}).getView();\r\n{code}\r\n\r\n{code:JavaScript|title=MyView.js}\r\n$.MyLabel.text = arguments[0].labelText;\r\n$.MyImage.image = arguments[0].imageUrl;\r\n{code}\r\n\r\nIt would be nice if we could pass in parameters to the controller-less view which automatically sets these properties. For example:\r\n\r\n{code:JavaScript|title=Index.js}\r\nAlloy.createController(\"MyView\", {\r\n\tMyLabel: {\r\n\t\ttext: \"Hello, World!\"\r\n\t},\r\n\tMyImage: {\r\n\t\timage: \"/images/test.png\"\r\n\t}\r\n}).getView();\r\n{code}\r\n\r\nThis lets us omit the controller completely.",
