EmberJS- Adding Layouts to Views

Adding Layouts to Views

The layout templates are the Hhandlebars template which are used inside the view tag by setting the layoutName property. The {{yield}} helper determine where to insert the main template by informing the layout template.

   Ember.View.extend({
      layoutName: 'LayoutName',
      templateName: 'TemplateName'
   });

In the above code, define the LayoutName and TemplateName which you want to render.
