Get html of an instance of a component with site data

[cruzanmo]

e.g. site.host, site.path, and state.site.name are empty for this component URL http://localhost.dev.nymag.biz:3001/components/article/instances/pr-first.html

state and site are available to the template from this page URI http://localhost.dev.nymag.biz:3001/press/2015/04/first-page.html

Perhaps asking for a URL that would render the component with the site data; something like http://localhost.dev.nymag.biz:3001/press/components/article/instances/pr-first.html

Things at /pages and /components have no site. They're shared between all sites. Therefore, there is no site.whatever. If you want site data in a component, and if you want to get it dynamically like that, then you have to save that site data to that specific component. However, whatever you're trying to do, I'd recommend restructuring it to be in the context of a component feature, rather than something specific to a site. Then the other users of that component can also use your new feature.

If it's just trying to get js or css to show up, nevermind. There's another solution that we're working on that might work for that.

Alternatively, there is a PR now (#120) that may solve your issue temporarily.

Also note: You never need to say state unless you're trying to refer to this. State was needed because some template languages don't have a concept of this, so we put it into state.
