Display global/misc error message to user - ember.js

Question

I'm trying to display error messages for the user in Ember. Is there a way to do this from Logger? I've read about the error substate, but I think that only displays when there's an error in a transition. Is there a way for me to set a property in the ApplicationController to the error message object (and thus display it in a template)? If there's an error in an AJAX call, or a bug, or some other issue, I want the user to be notified that something is awry.
The Coffeescript:
Ember.Logger.error = (message, cause, stack) ->
console.error(message, cause, stack) #show in console
Raygun.send(new Error(message), null, { cause: cause, stack: stack }) #log error on server
# how do I display the error message to user?, THIS DOESN'T WORK b/c "this" is undefined:
#container.lookup('controller:main').set('errorObjetct', message)
I'm using Ember 1.11.1 in ember-cli.
Anyone have any tips on this?

Answer 1

Thanks #blessenm for the link. It doesn't precisely apply because in Ember-CLI I don't reference the global application variable, it did remind me that the initialize function passes the "container" object. Thus, I've been able to make it work like this:
Ember.Logger.error = (message, cause, stack) ->
console.error(message, cause, stack) #show in console
Raygun.send(new Error(message), null, { cause: cause, stack: stack }) #log error on server
# SOLUTION:
container.lookup('route:application').set('errorObject', message)
This runs in initializers/error-handling.coffee's initialize function.
