I create an Ember app with a Symfony REST api. I also use the REST adapter for my requests.
I have 2 models in my app : users and their related comments.
I already created CRUD operations for my user properties and now I focus on the CRUD operations for comments.
Model user.js
export default DS.Model.extend({
firstName: DS.attr('string'),
lastName: DS.attr('string'),
comments: DS.hasMany('comment')
});
Model comment.js
export default DS.Model.extend({
title: DS.attr('string'),
message: DS.attr('string'),
user: DS.belongsTo('user')
});
I have a route which shows all comments (and other data) of a given user. The request loads the user object and his relations. On the view I also have a form and an action to create a new comment for this user.
Route users/get.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
id: null,
model(params) {
this.set('id', params.user_id);
return this.get('store').findRecord('user', params.user_id, {include: 'comments'});
},
});
Route users/get/comments.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
return this.modelFor('user.get', params.user_id);
},
});
Controller users/get/comments.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
newComment: null,
user: null,
init: function() {
this._super(...arguments);
let comment = this.store.createRecord('comment');
this.set('newComment', comment);
},
actions: {
saveComment: function() {
let user = this.get('model');
let comment = this.get('newComment');
comment.set('user', user);
comment.save();
}
}
});
Everything works, except for the request sent to the backend. I loaded the comments from the user, so I expect a call to :
POST http://my-app.local/users/comments/
Instead the call is sent to :
POST http://my-app.local/comments/
Do you know why and how could I correct it ?
Second problem, the model is loaded from the 'user.get' route. This works because the user comes from this route to this page, but... It's doesn't work if the user enters directly the URL for comments. That sound logical, but I have no clue how to correct this problem... Can you help me ?
This can be done by rewrite the CommentAdapter.urlForCreateRecord method. Which affect new comment record requests.
adapters/comment.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
urlForCreateRecord(modelName, snapshot) {
return '/users/comments'; // the url you want
}
});
There are several urlFor... method you might need to customise your url.
Just check out the document

I have an application running with Ember 1.12.0. I have a simple template called /app/templates/repositories.hbs with this content :
{{controllers.user.login}}
I added this in the controller app/controllers/repositories.js :
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.ArrayController.extend({
needs: "user",
});
I have this route :
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
var user = this.modelFor('user');
console.log(user);
return Ember.$.getJSON('https://api.github.com/users/'+user.login+'/repos');
}
});
And this router :
import Ember from 'ember';
import config from './config/environment';
var Router = Ember.Router.extend({
location: config.locationType
});
Router.map(function() {
this.route('index', {path: '/'} );
this.resource('user', {path: '/users/:login'}, function() {
this.resource('repositories');
});
});
export default Router;
According to the documentation. I should show the user login but I have just nothing. It show the user object in the console but not in the view.
Is the a solution ?
If I understand correctly, you have a user model fetched in user route (as you can see it in console, the modelFor works properly). However, you are trying to get login object on user controller - I think that it's not defined. What you really want to get is login property of the object that is the model for user route (probably it's the user, but you didn't posted your user route code).
To use these two models in one controller you don't need to share these controllers. All you need is the model for user route. Thus, you can leave your model hook as follows:
model: function(params) {
return Ember.$.getJSON('https://api.github.com/users/'+user.login+'/repos');
}
And write your setupController method as follows:
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set("model", model);
controller.set("user", this.modelFor("user");
}
And in your template you would have your repos from AJAX and the user property with that property.
{{user.login}}
On the other hand, you could, with some fixes, use the shared user controller obtaining same effect, but it's not what you need - you need only the model for that controller, not the whole object.
While I am not new to web development, I am quite new to to client-side MVC frameworks. I did some research and decided to give it a go with EmberJS. I went through the TodoMVC guide and it made sense to me...
I have setup a very basic app; index route, two models and one template. I have a server-side php script running that returns some db rows.
One thing that is very confusing me is how to load multiple models on the same route. I have read some information about using a setupController but I am still unclear. In my template I have two tables that I am trying to load with unrelated db rows. In a more traditional web app I would have just issued to sql statements and looped over them to fill the rows. I am having difficulty translating this concept to EmberJS.
How do I load multiple models of unrelated data on the same route?
I am using the latest Ember and Ember Data libs.
Update
although the first answer gives a method for handling it, the second answer explains when it's appropriate and the different methods for when it isn't appropriate.
BEWARE:
You want to be careful about whether or not returning multiple models in your model hook is appropriate. Ask yourself this simple question:
Does my route load dynamic data based on the url using a slug :id? i.e.
this.resource('foo', {path: ':id'});
If you answered yes
Do not attempt to load multiple models from the model hook in that route!!! The reason lies in the way Ember handles linking to routes. If you provide a model when linking to that route ({{link-to 'foo' model}}, transitionTo('foo', model)) it will skip the model hook and use the supplied model. This is probably problematic since you expected multiple models, but only one model would be delivered. Here's an alternative:
Do it in setupController/afterModel
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return $.getJSON('/books/' + params.id);
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
this._super(controller,model);
controller.set('model2', {bird:'is the word'});
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/cibujahuju/1/edit
If you need it to block the transition (like the model hook does) return a promise from the afterModel hook. You will need to manually keep track of the results from that hook and hook them up to your controller.
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return $.getJSON('/books/' + params.id);
},
afterModel: function(){
var self = this;
return $.getJSON('/authors').then(function(result){
self.set('authors', result);
});
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
this._super(controller,model);
controller.set('authors', this.get('authors'));
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/diqotehomu/1/edit
If you answered no
Go ahead, let's return multiple models from the route's model hook:
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return {
model1: ['red', 'yellow', 'blue'],
model2: ['green', 'purple', 'white']
};
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/tuvozuwa/1/edit
If it's something that needs to be waited on (such as a call to the server, some sort of promise)
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
model1: promise1,
model2: promise2
});
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/xucepamezu/1/edit
In the case of Ember Data
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
var store = this.store;
model: function() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
cats: store.find('cat'),
dogs: store.find('dog')
});
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/pekohijaku/1/edit
If one is a promise, and the other isn't, it's all good, RSVP will gladly just use that value
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
var store = this.store;
model: function() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
cats: store.find('cat'),
dogs: ['pluto', 'mickey']
});
}
});
Example: http://emberjs.jsbin.com/coxexubuwi/1/edit
Mix and match and have fun!
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
var store = this.store;
model: function() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
cats: store.find('cat'),
dogs: Ember.RSVP.Promise.cast(['pluto', 'mickey']),
weather: $.getJSON('weather')
});
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
this._super(controller, model);
controller.set('favoritePuppy', model.dogs[0]);
}
});

NOTE: for Ember 3.16+ apps, here is the same code, but with updated syntax / patterns: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62500918/356849
The below is for Ember < 3.16, even though the code would work as 3.16+ as fully backwards compatible, but it's not always fun to write older code.
You can use the Ember.RSVP.hash to load several models:
app/routes/index.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
people: this.store.findAll('person'),
companies: this.store.findAll('company')
});
},
setupController(controller, model) {
this._super(...arguments);
Ember.set(controller, 'people', model.people);
Ember.set(controller, 'companies', model.companies);
}
});
And in your template you can refer to people and companies to get the loaded data:
app/templates/index.js
<h2>People:</h2>
<ul>
{{#each people as |person|}}
<li>{{person.name}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
<h2>Companies:</h2>
<ul>
{{#each companies as |company|}}
<li>{{company.name}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
This is a Twiddle with this sample: https://ember-twiddle.com/c88ce3440ab6201b8d58
Taking the accepted answer, and updating it for Ember 3.16+
app/routes/index.js
import Route from '#ember/routing/route';
import { inject as service } from '#ember/service';
export default class IndexRoute extends Route {
#service store;
async model() {
let [people, companies] = await Promise.all([
this.store.findAll('person'),
this.store.findAll('company'),
]);
return { people, companies };
}
}
Note, it's recommended to not use setupController to setup aliases, as it obfuscates where data is coming from and how it flows from route to template.
So in your template, you can do:
<h2>People:</h2>
<ul>
{{#each #model.people as |person|}}
<li>{{person.name}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
<h2>Companies:</h2>
<ul>
{{#each #model.companies as |company|}}
<li>{{company.name}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
I use something like the answer that Marcio provided but it looks something like this:
var products = Ember.$.ajax({
url: api + 'companies/' + id +'/products',
dataType: 'jsonp',
type: 'POST'
}).then(function(data) {
return data;
});
var clients = Ember.$.ajax({
url: api + 'clients',
dataType: 'jsonp',
type: 'POST'
}).then(function(data) {
return data;
});
var updates = Ember.$.ajax({
url: api + 'companies/' + id + '/updates',
dataType: 'jsonp',
type: 'POST'
}).then(function(data) {
return data;
});
var promises = {
products: products,
clients: clients,
updates: updates
};
return Ember.RSVP.hash(promises).then(function(data) {
return data;
});
If you use Ember Data, it gets even simpler for unrelated models:
import Ember from 'ember';
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function(controller, model) {
this._super(controller,model);
var model2 = DS.PromiseArray.create({
promise: this.store.find('model2')
});
model2.then(function() {
controller.set('model2', model2)
});
}
});
If you only want to retrieve an object's property for model2, use DS.PromiseObject instead of DS.PromiseArray:
import Ember from 'ember';
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function(controller, model) {
this._super(controller,model);
var model2 = DS.PromiseObject.create({
promise: this.store.find('model2')
});
model2.then(function() {
controller.set('model2', model2.get('value'))
});
}
});
The latest version of JSON-API as implemented in Ember Data v1.13 supports bundling of different resources in the same request very well, if you don't mind modifying your API endpoints.
In my case, I have a session endpoint. The session relates to a user record, and the user record relates to various models that I always want loaded at all times. It's pretty nice for it all to come in with the one request.
One caveat per the spec is that all of the entities you return should be linked somehow to the primary entity being received. I believe that ember-data will only traverse the explicit relationships when normalizing the JSON.
For other cases, I'm now electing to defer loading of additional models until the page is already loaded, i.e. for separate panels of data or whatever, so at least the page is rendered as quickly as possible. Doing this there's some loss/change with the "automatic" error loading state to be considered.
A parent route in an Ember app loads a model from the server. The model is an array with a series of fields, including a field that is itself an array containing the models for the child routes. The model array is displayed in the parent route as a list where each item, when clicked, links to the child route while passing the selected model to the child route.
However, since the child route doesn't load its model from the server but receives it from the parent route, refreshing the page (or sharing the URL) when on the child route yields an error. What is a good way of solving that problem?
Here is a JSBin with an example.
You should implement the model hook in your child Routes, and as you are using ember data, use the fixtureAdapter and the store.
An slightly modified JSBin http://jsbin.com/oSUZUvE/2#/documents/1/subdocument/2
App = Ember.Application.create({});
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.FixtureAdapter;
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('documents', function(){
this.resource('document', {path: ':document_id'}, function () {
this.resource('subdocument', {path: 'subdocument/:subdocument_id'});
});
});
});
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
redirect: function () {
this.transitionTo('documents');
}
});
App.DocumentsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.get('store').find('document');
}
});
App.DocumentRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function (params) {
console.log(params);
return this.get('store').find('document',params.document_id);
}
});
App.SubdocumentRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function (params) {
console.log(params);
return this.get('store').find('subdocument',params.subdocument_id);
}
});
App.User = DS.Model.extend({
posts: DS.hasMany('post', {async: true})
});
App.Post = DS.Model.extend({
body: DS.attr(),
user: DS.belongsTo('user')
});
App.ProfileRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return this.get('store').find('user', params.user_id)
}
});
and in template
{{#each post in model.posts}}
{{post.body}}
{{/each}}
json for user. I don't want embed posts in user json
{user: { posts: [1, 2, 3] }}
This don't render anything. It receives posts json from server after this error occur
Assertion failed: You looked up the 'posts' relationship on '' but some of the associated records were not loaded. Either make sure they are all loaded together with the parent record, or specify that the relationship is async (DS.attr({ async: true }))
In chrome inspector I see all data loaded properly.
How can I solve this? Should I preload all models I want to use in templates?
The model function in your route is missing the return, so the error is being thrown when you try to access model.posts because there is no model.
App.ProfileRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return this.get('store').find('user', params.user_id);
}
});
Have you tried to just write {{#each posts}}?
Worked for my project.
Then write {{body}} within the each block.
Let me know, thanks!
