I have a dropdown setup on a form but how do i set it up if my data isnt in the route? I am trying to load in a list of territories on a new dealer form. I have added ember-power-select add on but I cant figure out how to load the data to the add on to display the available options. Do I need to create a service or controller?
New to ember just trying to work through the basics.
Router.map(function() {
this.route('login');
this.route('admin', function() {
this.route('territory', function() {
this.route('new');
this.route('edit', { path: '/:territory_id/edit'});
this.route('view', { path: '/:territory_id/view'});
});
this.route('dealer', function() {
this.route('view', { path: '/:dealer_id/view'});
this.route('new');
});
});
});
This is my form I am using on creating a new item.
<div class="well">
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<legend>New Dealer</legend>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputFirstName" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-lg-4">
{{input type="text" value=model.dealerName class="form-control" placeholder="Dealer Name"}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputFirstName" class="col-lg-2 control-label">Territory</label>
<div class="col-lg-4">
{{#power-select selected=dealer options=dealer onchange=(action "chooseDestination") as |dealer|}}
{{dealer.dealerName}}
{{/power-select}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-2">
{{#link-to 'admin.dealer' class="btn btn-default"}}Cancel{{/link-to}}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" {{action 'saveDealer' model}}>Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
Just because a route is the new action for a territory or the view action for a dealer, doesn't mean that you can't load other data there.
For example, in the territory/view route, you could load all the dealers.
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
territory: this.store.find('territory', params.territory_id),
dealers: this.store.findAll('dealer')
})
}
});
Then in your controller and templates, you would have access to model.territory and model.dealers
I feel as if this is a very simple problem to fix I am just not aware of how to fix it. Currently I have an outlet that displays a template like this:
user.hbs:
<div id="user-profile">
<img {{bind-attr src="avatarURL"}} alt="User's Avatar" class="profilePic"/>
<h2>{{name}}</h2>
<span>{{email}}</span>
<p>{{bio}}</p>
<span>Created {{creationDate}}</span>
<button {{action "edit"}}>Edit</button>
{{outlet}}
</div>
The template to be rendered at the outlet is this:
user_edit.hbs:
<div id="user-edit">
<h3>Edit User</h3>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="row">
<label class="edit-user-label">Choose user avatar</label>
{{input class="form-control" value=avatarUrl}}
</div>
<div class="row">
<label>User name</label>
{{input class="form-control" value=name}}
</div>
<div class="row">
<label class="edit-user-label">User email</label>
{{input class="form-control" value=email}}
</div>
<div class="row">
<label class="edit-user-label">User short bio</label>
{{textarea class="text-control" value=bio}}
<div>
<div class="row">
<button {{action "save"}}>SAVE</button>
<button {{action "cancel"}}>CANCEL</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When I first visit the user route, the outlet does not display because the button has not been clicked. The button is hooked to a controller which takes care of the action. The action just transitions to the route where the template is displayed at the outlet. It appears just as expected but when I click on a different user model, the outlet from the previous user is still there without everything in the <div class="panel-body"> </div>. So Ember hides the panel-body div on transition but not the user-edit div. If you need more information I will be happy to provide it.
Here are the controllers:
userController:
App.UserController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
edit: function() {
this.transitionToRoute('user.edit');
}
}
});
Here is the userEditController:
App.UserEditController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
save: function() {
var user = this.get('model');
user.save();
this.transitionToRoute('user', user);
},
cancel: function() {
var user = this.get('model');
this.transitionToRoute('user', user);
}
}
})
Hi why dont you use {{#link-to 'edit' model}} instead of action ???
you can pass model to link-to so you dont have to get model in controller and then transitionToRoute
Look at this
I have a user settings form like so:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="settings">
<form class="form-horizontal user-form" {{action "update" on="submit"}}>
<div>
<label>First Name</label>
{{input type="text" value=firstName placeholder="First Name"}}
{{error.firstName}}
</div>
<div>
<label>Last Name</label>
{{input type="text" value=lastName placeholder="Last Name"}}
{{error.lastName}}
</div>
<div>
<label>Email Address *</label>
{{input type="text" value=email placeholder="Email Address"}}
{{error.email}}
</div>
</form>
</script>
In my route for this page, I define the model:
App.SettingsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return this.store.find('user', 1);
}
});
If things are left like this, the form will automatically populate with the values retrieved from the model. However, if I add a controller:
App.SettingsController = Ember.Controller.extend({
actions: {
update: function() {
// Do something
}
}
});
...They won't. So how do I use my model in conjunction with this controller to set the properties?
The way you defined your controller was as a regular Ember.Controller and not an Ember.ObjectController so the controller is not proxying the model. If you modify it to be like this:
App.SettingsController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
update: function() {
// Do something
}
}
});
Then it should still automatically populate with the values from the model.
I have a form that creates a record, then transitions to the list of resources for a particular object. However once the record is created, it is not reflected in the list of resources. If I refresh the page, the record is saved in the correct place. I have the ember chrome extension installed and if I look under Resources, then the resource is there pointing to the correct Badge. But if I go to badge first, and look for resources, it is not listed. Any ideas? I would be happy to provide any more information necessary to clarify. Thank you in advance

Just some general notes first.
With this much code, everyone's going to have a much easier time helping you if you provide a JSBin or something. It's a bit of extra work for you, but you're asking for help, and this is a lot to just mentally parse and run. Personally, it was some extra overhead for me because you didn't include your router, so I had to do a pass just to try to figure out how badge and resource were related.
When you're using an ObjectController with the route model set to a new record, with input helpers, you shouldn't need to do all of that setting. That's why you specified those value bindings on the helpers. But when you do need to set a bunch of properties, you can just do that all at once with something like record.setProperties({prop1: prop1Value, prop2: prop2Value ...}); and save yourself a lot of typing.
I don't understand why you're using resourcesIndex as a ResourcesCreateController need. To actually answer your question, it might work to specify just 'resources' as a need
then use something like
resource.save().then(function(record){
self.get("controllers.resources").pushObject(record);
self.transitionToRoute("resources.index", badge); // I don't know if this makes any sense because you didn't show your router, but at the very least, don't use self.badge, or even self.get("badge"), because badge is already accessible in this scope.
}
It'd be nice to see your Model definitions, and even better if you had a jsbin setup showing the problem.
You could always try hooking it up on createRecord.
App.ResourcesCreateRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return this.store.createRecord('resource', {badge: this.modelFor('badge')});
}
})
It seems like when you create the new resource, you aren't putting it in the store. You should try something like this.store.createRecord(resource) then instead of your resource.save, do a this.store.commit.
I'm not entirely sure I'm right. But it may be a possibility.
Fixed. I am not sure if this is the correct way to handle this but basically the parent model needed to be reloaded once the child model was created and saved. So like this
save: function() {
var self = this;
var resource = this.store.createRecord('resource',{
property: 'property',
relatedProperty: this.get('model'),
//etc
});
resource.save().then(function(){
self.get('model').reload();
},function(){
//do stuff because the resource didnt save
});
}
In my view I have a button which I want to be disabled when the data of the model is not dirty.
When I output: <button {{ action "update" }} {{bindAttr disabled="isDirty"}}>Save</button> it is enabled when the data is not dirty, and disabled when the data is dirty.
I want to reverse that so I tried this: <button {{ action "update" }} {{bindAttr disabled="!isDirty"}}>Save</button> but now is doesn't check the dirtyness at all. How do I reverse the boolean within a bindAttr helper?
Here is my code:
Controller
App.SiteController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
isNotDirty: function() {
return !this.get('isDirty');
}.property('content')
});
App.SiteEditController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
needs : [ 'site' ]
});
Template
{{#with controllers.site}}
<div>{{ isDirty }}</div>
<div>{{ isNotDirty }}</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="name">Name</label>
<div class="controls">
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding="name"}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-actions">
<button {{bindAttr disabled="isNotDirty"}} class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</div>
{{/with}}
I outputted the isDirty an isNotDirty property so I could watch them change. But only the isDirty property changes when I change the value of the text-field,
The solution can be found in the API-docs of Ember. There is a list of all available shorthand computed helpers.
I used Ember.computed.not for this case:
App.SiteController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
isNotDirty: Ember.computed.not('isDirty')
});
