No, models are shareable piece of code, and normally having those pieces pulling data from a particular app-specific structure is bad. Instead, we recommend pushing data/config into the models.

In other words, you can do something like:

var foo = ac.models.get('foo'); foo.doSomething(someData, callback);

where "someData" is something that you can put together in your dispatcher.

That being said, if the model has a "init" method, a config structure, with the mojit's configuration will be passed into it at the moment you access it thru ac.models.get``, and this configuration is a combination of defaults.json (from the mojit itself) and the config fromspecs` in application.json for the mojit's instance.

So, you do have few ways to pass data around :)

Yup I got that. It works fine for the app but my question was how I can use that in a TestSuite where actioncontext object is not available.

As I mentioned in another reply for one of your questions, you have to mock it :)

I will recommend you to look at some of the tests under yahoo/mojito/tests/units/, to see how to mock "ac". Any data used, or required, by any YUI module that you have in your application, you should mock it when it comes to tests.

Yup! Got it.
