The View can subscribe to events from the Controller in a similar fashion to the Controller subscribing to Storage with code similar to this:

this.controller.subscribe('dataUpdate', this.onDataUpdate.bind(this));

Populate frontend/view.js and frontend/public/summary.html as shown below:

// ...
const domUtils = {
  clearChildren(element) {
    while (element.firstChild) {
      element.removeChild(element.firstChild);
    }
  }
}
// ...

export default class MyView extends SiftView {
//...
constructor() {
  // You have to call the super() method to initialize the base class.
  super();
  this.controller.subscribe('dataUpdate', this.onDataUpdate.bind(this));
}

// for more info: https://docs.redsift.com/docs/client-code-siftview
presentView(value) {
  console.log('counter: presentView: ', value);
  this.onDataUpdate(value.data);
};

willPresentView(value) {
  console.log('counter: willPresentView: ', value);
};

onDataUpdate(data) {
  console.log('counter: onDataUpdate: ', data);

  if (data.counts) {
    Object.keys(data.counts).filter(key => ['messageTotal', 'wordTotal', 'wpmTotal'].includes(key)).forEach((k) => {
    document.getElementById(k).textContent = data.counts[k];
    });
  }

  if (data.messages && data.messages.length > 0) {
  	const messages = data.messages.slice(0, 50);
  	const messageList = document.getElementById('messageList');
  	domUtils.clearChildren(messageList);

  	document.getElementById('messagesContainer').style.display = 'unset';

  	const messageItemNodes = messages.map(({ subject, wordCount }) => {
  	const liNode = document.createElement('li');
  	liNode.style = 'display: flex; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; padding: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; flex-direction: column;'

  	const subjectNode = document.createElement('h4');
  	subjectNode.style = 'text-align: left;';

  	const wordCountNode = document.createElement('p');
  	wordCountNode.textContent = `Email word count: ${wordCount}`;
  	subjectNode.textContent = subject;

  	liNode.appendChild(subjectNode);
  	liNode.appendChild(wordCountNode);

  	return liNode;
  });

  	messageItemNodes.forEach(node => messageList.appendChild(node));
  } else {
  	document.getElementById('messagesContainer').style.display = 'none';
  }

}

All we are saying here is when we have some data, use the onDataUpdate() method. Data either will come when the Sift loads and the presentView() method will be called (line 20) or when an update takes place (line 16).
To complete the presentation and bubble up the data to our presentation we need to add one more line in summary.html

Try running your Sift!
