How to use AsyncPartialContentComponent?

The Foundation project contains MediaController which implements the AsyncPartialContentComponent.

My question is: How to use that controller for rendering data? For example, how to tell renderer to use ImageMediaData from MediaController?

I have not found any example in the Foundation project. ImageMediaData does not seem to use MediaController logic for rendering.

I also tried to register that controller in the IViewTemplateModelRegistrator, but I'm not sure how since registrator requires path for a view while MediaController specifies it in the logic.

The MediaController will be invoked when you drop something inheriting from MediaData into e.g. a ContentArea. Unless there is a more specific AsyncPartialContentComponent available for the content type.

And ContentArea is the answer, thank you a lot, Johan!
