[TYPO3-mvc] How to return a filtered subset of child objects?

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

That maybe would be the best solution, but what would be
the correct way of using the find method inside the view?

The problem ist, that I assign the category directly, and
fluid will just call getProducts based on the markup:

<f:for each="{category.products}" as="product"/>

Or do you recommend to assign the products seperately, like:

$this->view->assign('desiredProducts', 
$this->productRepository->findByCriteria($category, $filters));

This way I could only assign filtered products by the controller,
while the category model will always return all assigned products.

Thanks,
Thomas
