Add column to existing ember model - ember.js

Question

Wow this is hard to find.
I have an existing model in ember and I would like to add a new column. I have't been able to see how to generate this from the CLI, so have manually added it to my component.js and models/post.js. I've added the field to my form and the handlebar to my view. Checking Firebase I can confirm I'm not updating the field.
In Rails I would simply run rails generate migration add_snippet_to_posts snippet:string but doing this in Ember just creates a new model.
model/post.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.Model.extend({
title: DS.attr('string'),
author: DS.attr('string'),
createdDate: DS.attr('date'),
text: DS.attr('string'),
snippet: DS.attr('string') #<=manually added this.
});
component.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Component.extend({
actions: {
createPost: function (model) {
this.sendAction('createPost', model);
// Clear each input field
this.set('newPost.title', null);
this.set('newPost.author', null);
this.set('newPost.text', null);
this.set('newPost.snippet', null); #<= manually added this
}
}
});
How do I do this?
Solved
Needed to update routes/index.js too:
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model: function () {
return this.store.findAll('post');
},
actions: {
createPost: function (model) {
let post = this.store.createRecord('post', {
title: model.title,
text: model.text,
author: model.author,
snippet: model.snippet, # <= add this too
createdDate: new Date()
});
post.save();
}
}
});

The official answer would be that you cannot just add an attribute with ember-CLI to a model that has already been created - and at the same time, update everything it may effect throughout your app. You have to manually write the attributes and how they are used in routes/components/templates etc.
That sounds awesome that Rails can just know all that stuff. : )
