Ember.js Ember.View didRender event

I building a ember.js app that also ties into some other jQuery plugins. I have some form fields that I need to call a jQuery plugin against once the view is rendered. I've tried hooking into didInsertElement, but apparently the values for the bound form fields are not assigned at insertion. Is there a callback in existence for when the view completely renders or when bindings are initialized?

ie.

MyView: Ember.View.extend
    #Boaring normal stuff here

    didInsertElement: ->
        $('.some-class').doSomething()

and

{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding="someField" class="some-class"}}

Does not work because the values of .some-class are a not set yet.

I don't want to use a setTimeout and create a race condition.

Well, what is going on, is that the testValue binding is updated after the view is inserted. So what you can do is to call $('.silly-field').doSomethingSilly(); inside an Ember.run.next() function.

As written in the docs:

Ember.run(myContext, function(){
 // code to be executed in the next RunLoop, which will be scheduled after the current one
});
