Sencha Touch MVC — recommended ways of passing data through the controller?

Question

I\'m using Sencha Touch for a mobile app and am using the MVC functionality in it. I like Sencha quite a bit but I\'m having a little trouble when it comes to passing data

I think you're on the right track with Ext.Dispatch. The parameters you add in the Dispatch options object are passed to the action method on the controller.

E.g.

showMap: function(options){ 
               var id = options.id; 
               //load data based on the id and pass it to your map
               ...
         }

I also think you should set the historyUrl on the Dispatch options object so that if they refresh the page the id will still get sent to the controller action.
