Like other html tags, Volt tags can be passed attributes. These attributes are then converted into an object that is passed to the initialize method of the controller. The standard Volt::ModelController's initialize will then assign the object to the attrs property which can be accessed with #attrs. This makes it easy to access attributes passed in.
<:Body>
<ul>
{{ _todos.each do |todo| }}
<:todo name="{{ todo._name }}" />
{{ end }}
</ul>
<:Todo>
<li>{{ attrs.name }}</li>
Instead of passing in individual attributes, you can also assign the controllers model object with the model attribute and it will be set as the model for the controller.
<:Body>
<ul>
{{ _todos.each do |todo| }}
<:todo model="{{ todo }}" />
{{ end }}
</ul>
<:Todo>
<li>
{{ _name }} -
{{ if _complete }}
Complete
{{ end }}
</li>
