Documentation Woes

My biggest struggle with 2.7 is that the documentation seems very incomplete. Just my current example, createComponent allows you to specify defaults as the second argument.

In previous enyo versions I was able to specify {owner:someOtherOwner} and then someOtherOwner.$.MyComponentName would be available. Now, that doesn't seem to be working at all.

Where can I find out how these defaults are processed, or what limitations exist to what defaults you can create?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to this but can you try something like:

someOtherComponent.createComponent(myComponent, {container:this});

I did solve the createComponent issue ( http://forums.enyojs.com/discussion/comment/10661/#Comment_10661)

Though my documentation question still remains.

The second arg is mixed in with the first. It's most commonly used when the first arg is staticly defined (e.g. an object config defined on the prototype of the kind) and you need instance variables applied as well (e.g. to set the owner: {owner: this}). You can define anything you want in either object and they will be set as properties on the constructed component.

Here's the docs for that method:
