Using Marionette.ItemView for views without models?

Question

Is it conventional to use Marionette.ItemView for view classes that do not have a specific model property associated with them?

I just found out you can use a templateHelper for this - just chuck this in your ItemView declaration:

templateHelpers: function() {
    return {
        message: this.message,
        cssClass: this.cssClass
    }
}

And then in your template:

And then when you initialise the view:

var noticeView = new App.Views.Notice();
noticeView.message = "HELLO";
App.noticeRegion.show(noticeView);
