Hi When creating a view to display infromation obtained from a model, should the view always get this information from the controller, or should it get it directly from the model?
For example, say I have Class and Student models, and they are in a many to many relationship via the enrolled table. Now my view wants to display the students of a given class. Should the controller run the query and store it in a variable (say @students) that is passed to the view? Or, should the view just access it directly like <% for enrolled in @class.enrolled_students %> <%= enrolled.student.name %> I like the second way because it does not require me to put any code in the controller. I just feel like this is coupling the view and to the model and I can't tell if that is a bad thing in an MVC framework? I feel like it is.
