The "right" way to access viewmodel data in a view controller?

Hi all,



I have various code that ends up doing queries like this in my ViewController:



var data = this.getView().getViewModel().data;

data.template.save({ ... })



(where 'template' is a store, or linked model with an ID).



This seems strange - to need to go through the view to the data object to get to the viewmodel data. Am I doing it right?
