toExternal

public abstract external toExternal()

Converts the data from an internal JS++ type to an external JavaScript type for view rendering. The view rendering depends on the Handlebars JavaScript library so the model data must be converted to a format that JavaScript understands.

This method must be overridden for view rendering to work.
