Some thoughts on real ViewModels for Draper 2.0

some_controller.rb

class SomeController < AC::Base
  def show
    foo = Foo.first
    bar = Bar.first
    
    show_model = ShowViewModel.new(foo, bar)

    render show_model
  end
end

# the view would have exactly one ivar defined, @model. it'd contain the same thing as show_model. No other ivars would be exported.
# by defualt, this would still render app/views/somes/show.html.erb, but you could override it:

class ShowViewModel < Draper::ViewModel
  def template_location
    "foo/bar"
  end
end

# this would then render app/views/foo/bar.html.erb

Cells is about multiple controllers and views per page. This is just one.
