Power-select not showing the selected value - ember.js

Question

My power-select will not display the selected value.
I have three power-selects in this component and two are working fine, but the third (companyType) is acting strangely - the value is blank when you first go to the form. When you select a value it sticks for that record from then on (until you refresh the page)
Template:
// templates/components/companies/edit-new-form.hbs
{{#bs-form formLayout=formLayout model=company onSubmit=(action "save") as |form|}}
<label>State:
{{#power-select
selected=company.state
options=states
onchange=(action "chooseState")
as |name|
}}
{{name}}
{{/power-select}}
</label>
<label>County:
{{#power-select
selected=company.county
options=countyNames
onchange=(action "chooseCounty")
as |name|
}}
{{name}}
{{/power-select}}
</label>
<label>Company Type:
{{#power-select class="select"
selected=company.companyType
options=companyTypes
onchange=(action "chooseCompanyType")
as |name|
}}
{{name.companyType}}
{{/power-select}}
</label>
{{/bs-form}}
JS:
// componnents/companies/edit-new-form.js
export default Ember.Component.extend({
company: null,
router: Ember.inject.service('-routing'),
ajax: Ember.inject.service(),
store: Ember.inject.service(),
countyNames: Ember.computed('company.state', function() {
return this.get('ajax').request(config.host + '/api/counties/' + this.company.get('state')).then( (json) => json.map( (county) => {
return county.countyName;
})
)
}),
states: ['AK', 'AL', 'AR', 'AZ', 'CA', 'CO', 'CT', 'DC', 'DE', 'FL', 'GA', 'HI', 'IA', 'ID', 'IL', 'IN', 'KS', 'KY', 'LA', 'MA', 'MD', 'ME', 'MI', 'MN', 'MO', 'MS', 'MT', 'NC', 'ND', 'NE', 'NH', 'NJ', 'NM', 'NV', 'NY', 'OH', 'OK', 'OR', 'PA', 'RI', 'SC', 'SD', 'TN', 'TX', 'UT', 'VA', 'VT', 'WA', 'WI', 'WV', 'WY'],
actions: {
// For dropdown handling
chooseState(state) {
this.set('company.state', state);
//Ember.set(this, "counties", this.get('ajax').request(config.host + '/api/counties/' + state).then((json) => json.items));
//this.set('counties', this.get('ajax').request(config.host + '/api/counties/' + state).then((json) => json));
},
chooseCounty(countyName) {
this.set('company.county', countyName);
},
chooseCompanyType(companyType) {
this.set('company.companyType', companyType);
},
}
});
And here is the route and model hook:
// routes/companies/edit.js
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
var store = this.store;
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
companies: store.findRecord('company', params.company_id),
companyTypes: store.findAll('companyType')
});
}
});
The route that gets the companyType model is:
// routes/company-types.js
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return this.get('store').findAll('company-type');
}
});
And my models:
// models/company.js
export default DS.Model.extend({
companyName: DS.attr('string'),
street: DS.attr('string'),
county: DS.attr('string'),
city: DS.attr('string'),
state: DS.attr('string'),
zip: DS.attr('string'),
phone: DS.attr('string'),
email: DS.attr('string'),
fax: DS.attr('string'),
companyType: DS.attr('string')
});
// models/company-type.js
export default DS.Model.extend({
companyType: DS.attr('string')
});
Looking at Ember Inspector the data for the companyType is there and is a string, per my model. When I select a value from the dropbox, the data type turns into <svegbackend#model:company-type::ember1326:Environ Engineer. When I select one of the other drop downs, the value stays a string which I guess makes sense since the source for those are string arrays.
So how do I get the drop down to display the value when the form loads?

Answer 1

The problem is that, the companyType of the company is of type string where as the options list of the third select are of type companyType model. This creates a mismatch in setting the selected option initially.
Define the third power select as follows:
{#power-select class="select"
selected=company.companyType
options=companyTypesOptions
onchange=(action "chooseCompanyType")
as |name|
}}
{{name}}
{{/power-select}}
and define companyTypesOptions within edit-new-form.js as follows:
companyTypesOptions: Ember.computed('companyTypes.[]', function() {
return this.get('companyTypes').map((companyType)=> {
return Ember.get(companyType, 'companyType');
});
})
By this way; you will make both the options list and the selected value of type string! Do not forget if the type of the options and the selected you pass are different; you will get into trouble! Try to avoid that!
