I have the following bit of code in an Ember component:
markResolved() {
let reportingFailure = this.get('reportingFailure');
reportingFailure.resolvedAt = '2017-01-01';
reportingFailure.save();
}
The HTTP request is firing as expected but the resolved_at attribute is not getting set.
What do I have to do differently to get the attribute to set?
How is reportingFailuredefined? Due to the savemethod call, I assume it's an ember-data model.
Try to use .set() to change the resolvedAt attribute?:
markResolved() {
let reportingFailure = this.get('reportingFailure');
reportingFailure.set('resolvedAt', '2017-01-01');
reportingFailure.save();
}

I'm trying to pass some data along to the autocomplete_light.AutocompleteModelBase so I can exclude some models from the search. I'm trying to use the Dependencies info in the docs here
but I can seem to get it.
The id of the input is id_alternate_version-autocomplete, so I'm trying:
$("#id_alternate_version-autocomplete").yourlabsWidget().autocomplete.data = {'id': 'foo'};
But the url called looks like http://127.0.0.1:8000/autocomplete/FooAutocomplete/?q=bar
I want: http://127.0.0.1:8000/autocomplete/FooAutocomplete/?q=bar&id=foo
How can I do something like that?
DAL provides a way to do this with "forwarding" of another rendered form field's value.
See http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorial.html#filtering-results-based-on-the-value-of-other-fields-in-the-form
This is how I did it:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form#recipe').on('change propertychange keyup input paste', function() {
var ingredient_item_type = $("form#recipe input[type='radio']:checked").val();
var widget = $("form#recipe input#id_ingredients_text").parents('.autocomplete-light-widget');
if(ingredient_item_type) {
widget.yourlabsWidget().autocomplete.data['hello'] = 'world';
}
});
});
Javascript acrobatics aside, the key observation is thus:
anything you put in the .data object of the autocomplete widget will
automatically be made part of the GET request. HTH.
Is it possible to copy an object from the controller "content"?
I've tried adding Ember.Copyable mixin in the model :
App.Template = Ember.Object.extend(Ember.Copyable, {
id : "0",
title : "test"
}
In my controller I would like to copy the model that has been injected in the route.
this.set('datas',Ember.copy(this.get('content'));
I get this error when data-binding the datas object :
Uncaught Error: Cannot perform operations on a Metamorph that is not in the DOM.
Can you provide an answer without using ember-data ?
I believe you'll need to implement the copy method yourself as per Ember.Copyable.
Here's an example http://emberjs.jsbin.com/lekox/3/edit
I'm looping through a content of an ArrayController whose content is set to a RecordArray. Each record is DS.Model, say Client
{{# each item in controller}}
{{item.balance}}
{{/each}}
balance is a property of the Client model and a call to item.balance will fetch the property from the model directly. I want to apply some formatting to balance to display in a money format. The easy way to do this is to add a computed property, balanceMoney, to the Client object and do the formatting there:
App.Client = DS.Model({
balance: DS.attr('balance'),
balanceMoney: function() {
// format the balance property
return Money.format(this.get('balance');
}.property('balance')
});
This serves well the purpose, the right place for balanceMoney computed property though, is the client controller rather than the client model. I was under the impression that Ember lookup properties in the controller first and then tries to retrieve them in the model if nothing has been found. None of this happen here though, a call to item.balanceMoney will just be ignored and will never reach the controller.
Is it possible to configure somehow a controller to act always as a proxy to the model in all circumstances.
UPDATE - Using the latest version from emberjs master repository you can configure the array controller to resolve records' methods through a controller proxy by overriding the lookupItemController method in the ArrayController. The method should return the name of the controller without the 'controller' suffix i.e. client instead of clientController. Merely setting the itemControllerClass property in the array controller doesn't seem to work for the moment.
lookupItemController: function( object ) {
return 'client';
},
This was recently added to master: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/commit/2a75cacc30c8d02acc83094b47ae8a6900c0975b
As of this writing it is not in any released versions. It will mostly likely be part of 1.0.0.pre.3.
If you're only after formatting, another possibility is to make a handlebars helper. You could implement your own {{formatMoney item.balance}} helper, for instance.
For something more general, I made this one to wrap an sprintf implementation (pick one of several out there):
Ember.Handlebars.registerHelper('sprintf', function (/*arbitrary number of arguments*/) {
var options = arguments[arguments.length - 1],
fmtStr = arguments[0],
params = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1, -1);
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
params[i] = this.get(params[i]);
}
return vsprintf(fmtStr, params);
});
And then you can do {{sprintf "$%.2f" item.balance}}.
However, the solution #luke-melia gave will be far more flexible--for example letting you calculate a balance in the controller, as opposed to simply formatting a single value.
EDIT:
A caveat I should have mentioned because it's not obvious: the above solution does not create a bound handlebars helper, so changes to the underlying model value won't be reflected. There's supposed to be a registerBoundHelper already committed to Ember.js which would fix this, but that too is not released yet.
I'm beginning to work with ember-data and I have a problem to map the data
Here an exemple of my code ( i've place a jsonTest as an exemple of the data received from de backend , I don't work on the backend and I cannot modify the response from the server )
Clive = Ember.Application.create();
// MODEL
Clive.Deadline = DS.Model.extend({
title : DS.attr('string'),
});
jsonTest = '{"items":[{"id":93,"title":"title","date":"14-11-2012"}]}';
// Adapter
Clive.adapter = DS.Adapter.create({
findAll : function(store,type){
var self = this;
self.didFindAll(store, type, jsonTest);
}
});
Clive.store = DS.Store.create({
revision: 11,
adapter: 'Clive.adapter'
});
Clive.deadlineList = Clive.Deadline.find().get('items');
When I run the code I have this error :
Uncaught Error: assertion failed: Your server returned a hash with the key 0 but you have no mapping for it
Here a jsfidlle with the exemple : http://jsfiddle.net/gilles/6D5BC/
The "server returned a hash with key 0" thing is because didFindAll() expects a javascript object not a string. So trying again with:
json = {"items":[{"id":93,"title":"title","date":"14-11-2012"}]};
// -> "Your server returned a hash with the key items but you have no mapping for it"
Next step is to transform the object to have naming conventions that ember is expecting. Since your model is named Deadline, use the following:
jsonTransformed = '{"deadlines": [{"id":93,"title":"title 1","date":"14-11-2012"},{"id":94,"title":"title 2","date":"14-11-2012"}]}';
I've added a second record, but you get the idea. Finally you need to change how the Clive.deadlineList variable is being set: Clive.Deadline.find() returns a collection of Clive.Deadline models, so just:
Clive.deadlineList = Clive.Deadline.find()
console.log(Clive.deadlineList.getEach('title'));
// -> title1, title2
Here is an updated jsfiddle with working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/mgrassotti/6D5BC/9/
Another simple solution is to use the following Gem. It will just make your life easier. You wont need to generate or structure the json manually.
gem 'active_model_serializers'

I have a DS.Store which uses the DS.RESTAdapter and a ChatMessage object defined as such:
App.ChatMessage = DS.Model.extend({
contents: DS.attr('string'),
roomId: DS.attr('string')
});
Note that a chat message exists in a room (not shown for simplicity), so in my chat messages controller (which extends Ember.ArrayController) I only want to load messages for the room the user is currently in:
loadMessages: function(){
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
this.set("content", App.store.find(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id});
}
This sets the content to a DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and my view happily displays all the returned chat messages in an {{#each}} block.
Now it comes to adding a new message, I have the following in the same controller:
postMessage: function(contents) {
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
App.store.createRecord(App.ChatMessage, {
contents: contents,
room_id: room_id
});
App.store.commit();
}
This initiates an ajax request to save the message on the server, all good so far, but it doesn't update the view. This pretty much makes sense as it's a filtered result and if I remove the room_id filter on App.store.find then it updates as expected.
Trying this.pushObject(message) with the message record returned from App.store.createRecord raises an error.
How do I manually add the item to the results? There doesn't seem to be a way as far as I can tell as both DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and DS.FilteredModelArray are immutable.
so couple of thoughts:
(reference: https://github.com/emberjs/data/issues/190)
how to listen for new records in the datastore
a normal Model.find()/findQuery() will return you an AdapterPopulatedModelArray, but that array will stand on its own... it wont know that anything new has been loaded into the database
a Model.find() with no params (or store.findAll()) will return you ALL records a FilteredModelArray, and ember-data will "register" it into a list, and any new records loaded into the database will be added to this array.
calling Model.filter(func) will give you back a FilteredModelArray, which is also registered with the store... and any new records in the store will cause ember-data to "updateModelArrays", meaning it will call your filter function with the new record, and if you return true, then it will stick it into your existing array.
SO WHAT I ENDED UP DOING: was immediately after creating the store, I call store.findAll(), which gives me back an array of all models for a type... and I attach that to the store... then anywhere else in the code, I can addArrayObservers to those lists.. something like:
App.MyModel = DS.Model.extend()
App.store = DS.Store.create()
App.store.allMyModels = App.store.findAll(App.MyModel)
//some other place in the app... a list controller perhaps
App.store.allMyModels.addArrayObserver({
arrayWillChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
arrayDidChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
})
how to push a model into one of those "immutable" arrays:
First to note: all Ember-Data Model instances (records) have a clientId property... which is a unique integer that identifies the model in the datastore cache whether or not it has a real server-id yet (example: right after doing a Model.createRecord).
so the AdapterPopulatedModelArray itself has a "content" property... which is an array of these clientId's... and when you iterate over the AdapterPopulatedModelArray, the iterator loops over these clientId's and hands you back the full model instances (records) that map to each clientId.
SO WHAT I HAVE DONE
(this doesn't mean it's "right"!) is to watch those findAll arrays, and push new clientId's into the content property of the AdapterPopulatedModelArray... SOMETHING LIKE:
arrayDidChange:function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount){
if (addCount == 0) {return;} //only care about adds right now... not removes...
arr.slice(start, start+addCount).forEach(function(item) {
//push clientId of this item into AdapterPopulatedModelArray content list
self.getPath('list.content').pushObject(item.get('clientId'));
});
}
what I can say is: "its working for me" :) will it break on the next ember-data update? totally possible
For those still struggling with this, you can get yourself a dynamic DS.FilteredArray instead of a static DS.AdapterPopulatedRecordArray by using the store.filter method. It takes 3 parameters: type, query and finally a filter callback.
loadMessages: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath('current_room.id');
this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
})
// set content only after promise has resolved
.then(function (messages) {
self.set('content', messages);
});
}
You could also do this in the model hook without the extra clutter, because the model hook will accept a promise directly:
model: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
return this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
});
}
My reading of the source (DS.Store.find) shows that what you'd actually be receiving in this instance is an AdapterPopulatedModelArray. A FilteredModelArray would auto-update as you create records. There are passing tests for this behaviour.
As of ember.data 1.13 store.filter was marked for removal, see the following ember blog post.
The feature was made available as a mixin. The GitHub page contains the following note
We recommend that you refactor away from using this addon. Below is a short guide for the three filter use scenarios and how to best refactor each.
Why? Simply put, it's far more performant (and not a memory leak) for you to manage filtering yourself via a specialized computed property tailored specifically for your needs
