Not entirely. The Fiddle includes the view modifier plugin which overrides the jQuery modifiers like .html, .append etc so you could do this:
- this.element.html('filterView', {});
On the other hand
- can.view('filterView')
Will return a renderer function that you can call with the data to render a a later time. I you want to render it right away (and return the rendered document fragment) in either case have to pass an empty object:
- can.view('filterView', {})
