Delayed Rendering

If self.model = ... is called and the model is set to a Promise, the controller will wait until the Promsie resolves before is is rendered. Volt::ModelControllers have a loaded? method, which is checked by views when rendering. The views reactively wait until loaded? returns true before rendering. This is useful because you don't need to check if the model is loaded, if you assign the model to a Promise, you can assume it is ready before the view starts rendering

For example, if you did:

module Main
  class MainController < Volt::ModelController
    def index
      self.model = store.posts.first
    end
  end
end

In the above example, when a view binding (or tag) started to render index.html, it would create a controller instance, then it would call #index Next the view binding would wait until the Promise resolved before rendering the index.html file. After that it would call #index_ready. This makes it simple to wait on data before rendering.
