How do I list results in my template with fatfree framework and cortex model?

Question

I am using fatfree framework with the Cortex ORM plugin, and I am trying to simply query the db and display the resulting rows within my template, so I tried:

In my controller:

$users = new \models\User;
$users->load();
$f3->set('users',$users);
/*while(!$users->dry()){
    echo '<br/>'.$users->id;
    $users->next();
}*/
echo \Template::instance()->render('pages/User/list.htm','text/html');

And in my template:

<repeat group="{{@users}}" value="{{@v}}">
    <div>{{@v.id}}</div>
</repeat>

But the template stays blank. In the controller however, if I uncomment the while block, then I do get the expected results, but how do I get it in my template?

Also if I remove the quotes and try group={{@users}}, I get instance of class cannot be converted to string error. So how do I loop through the results from within my template?

$users->load() maps to one db row at a time.

What you need is an array containing the mappers for every row, so use $users->find() instead:

$users = new \models\User;
$f3->set('users',$users->find());
