  • ` for each todo in `todosList`, including: - write the todo’s name in the `
  • `’s `class` if the todo is `complete`. - check the todo’s checkbox if the todo is `complete`. - Write out the number of items left and completed count in the “Clear completed” button. ## What you need to know - [Stache Basics Presentation](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13IX7PRiS2B4RdYXor8tMgb75FNjc9mq-mlzNX0dnlt0/edit?usp=sharing) - CanJS uses [stache](https://canjs.com/doc/can-stache.html) to render data in a template and keep it live. Templates can be loaded with [steal-stache](https://canjs.com/doc/steal-stache.html). A [stache](https://canjs.com/doc/can-stache.html) template uses [{{key}}](https://canjs.com/doc/can-stache.tags.escaped.html) magic tags to insert data into the HTML output like: ``` {{something.name}} ``` - Use [{{#if(value)}}](https://canjs.com/doc/can-stache.helpers.if.html) to do `if/else` branching in `can-stache`. - Use [{{#for(of)}}](https://canjs.com/doc/can-stache.helpers.for-of.html) to do looping in `can-stache`. ## The solution Click to see the solution Update *index.js* to the following: ``` // index.js import {Component} from "can"; import view from "./index.stache"; import Todo from "~/models/todo"; import test from "can-todomvc-test"; Component.extend({ tag: "todo-mvc", view, ViewModel: { appName: {default: "TodoMVC"}, todosList: { default: function(){ return new Todo.List([ { name: "mow lawn", complete: false, id: 5 }, { name: "dishes", complete: true, id: 6 }, { name: "learn canjs", complete: false, id: 7 } ]); } } } }); const appVM = window.appVM = document.querySelector("todo-mvc").viewModel; test(appVM); ``` Update *index.stache* to the following: ```
      {{# for(todo of this.todosList) }}
      • {{/ for }}
