Render precompilled nunjucks (browserify+nunjucksify) with ampersand-view

Question

Trying to render browserify+nunjucksify-ed precompiled templates in a an ampersand-view.

This works as expectd:

var tpl = require('app1/template-1.nunj');
console.log(tpl.render({name: 'flemming', isDancing: 'perhaps'}))

This does not:

var MainView = View.extend({
    template: tpl.render,
    bindings: {
        'model.name': '[data-hook=name]'
    }
});

The error i get is

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dev' of undefined

AFAIK, this means that the this for the nunjucks is wrong. Ampersand-view sets itself as this for the rendering function, overshadowing what nunjucks expects this to be.

Any solutions?

Disregard this issue, I'm leaving just in case others have the same issue.

The problem is non-existent, as nunjucks needs to render the template before we set/pass it to the view. This way the first rendering will fill in all non-model (static) props, such as translations etc, and then the view handles all model-props.

...I think.
