Ember computed properties controller - ember.js

I have a model that has a one to many relationship with multiple translations:
App.Category = DS.Model.extend({
translation_ids: DS.hasMany('translation', { embedded: 'always' }),
});
App.Translation = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr(),
locale: DS.attr()
});
I want to fetch the name of the category according to the selected language :
App.CategoryController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
needs: ['settings'],
currentLocale: Ember.computed.alias('controllers.settings.currentLocale'),
name: function() {
var translations = this.get('translation_ids').filterBy('locale', this.get('currentLocale'));
Ember.assert("Only one translation is expected", translations.length === 1);
return translations[0].get('name');
}.property('translation_ids')
});
Everything works out great. But when I edit my category, the "name" property doesn't update :
I have tried a million different things, but nothing work so far. Could someone point out my mistake?

translation_ids is an array, so you want to observe the elements in the array, not just the array itself. Use .property('translation_ids.#each').

ember filter on promised inside a model

i have two models:
User:
export default DS.Model.extend({
books: hasMany('book', { async: true }),
});
book:
export default DS.Model.extend({
title: DS.attr('string'),
state: DS.attr('number'),
});
in my of my controller i am getting one user as my model and i want to create a computed property like this
activeBooks: Ember.computed('model.books', function() {
var books = this.get('model.books').filter(function (book, index, array) {
// debugger;
return (this.get('book.state') === 1);
}.bind(this));
return books;
}),
but the filter is not working and basically return a empty array.
P.S 1. i am side loading books alone with user. and at the debugger line i query for this.get('user.books.length') i get the correct number of books for each user. could someone point out what i am doing wrong here?
thanks a lot!
You can use filterBy and return the result.
activeBooks:Ember.computed('model.books', function() {
return this.get('model.books').filterBy('state',1);
})
You don't need to use bind(this) inside filter function.

Decorating data from related model in Ember.js

I have a Property model and a Pricing Summary model, which relate to each other and are shown below:
App.Property = DS.Model.extend({
totalRoomCount: DS.attr(),
name: DS.attr(),
address: DS.attr(),
city: DS.attr(),
state: DS.attr(),
zip: DS.attr(),
pricingSummaries: DS.hasMany('pricingSummary', {async: true})
});
App.PricingSummary = DS.Model.extend({
startDate: DS.attr(),
endDate: DS.attr(),
days: DS.hasMany('day', {async: true}),
property: DS.belongsTo('property', {async: true})
});
Inside of my Property route I set the model to a Property, and then in the template, I want to output a list of the PricingSummary's that are related to that Property, as follows:
{{#each pricingSummary in pricingSummaries}}
{{render 'summaryRow' pricingSummary}}
{{/each}}
This works, and I'm able to output the attributes of each particular PricingSummary inside of the summaryRow template, like its startDate and endDate, for example. But what I REALLY want to do here is modify/format the startDate and output this formatted version. Basically I think I want a controller at this point, but I don't know how to tie a controller to the specific Pricing Summary model being output.
How do I do this? And furthermore, you can see that a PricingSummary also has a relationship to my Day model, so I'm going to want to do this again, another level deep.
Please help!
There are several ways to accomplish this, and all of them are relatively simple.
In relation to actually decorating a model, the easiest method would be to create a computed property on the model itself. Some people don't like this because they believe the models should be skinny and decorators should be in controllers/components, but it's all up to your preference. You could accomplish it this way:
App.YourModel = DS.Model.extend({
date: attr('date'),
formattedDate: function() {
var date = this.get('date');
return date ? this.get('date').toDateString() : null ; // Use your own format :-)
}.property('date')
});
Alternatively, I like to use a getter/setter pattern so you can use two-way bindings and it will marshal the value to a date on set, or to a string on get. In the following example, I'm using moment.js to parse/format:
App.YourModel = DS.Model.extend({
date: attr('date'),
dateMarshal: function(key, value) {
if (arguments.length > 1) {
var parsed = moment(value);
this.set('date', parsed.isValid() ? parsed.toDate() : null);
}
return this.get('date') ? moment(this.get('date')).format('MM/DD/YYYY') : null ;
}.property('date'),
});
Another option would be to provide an itemController property to the {{#each}} helper, but that's effectively the same as using render without having to use a custom view.
If you're using more properties and perhaps some actions on the pricing summary row (to delete it, for instance), my preference would be to use a component:
{{#each pricingSummary in pricingSummaries}}
{{pricing-summary-item content=pricingSummary}}
{{/each}}
And your component:
App.PricingSummaryItem = Ember.Component.extend({
content: null,
dateFormatted: function() {
var formattedDate = this.get('content.date');
// Format your date
return formattedDate;
}.property('content.date')
actions: {
'delete': function() {
this.get('content').deleteRecord();
},
markRead: function() {
this.set('content.isRead', true);
this.get('content').save();
}
}
});
Finally, to address JUST the date issue and not decoration, I would make a bound helper. Again, this example uses moment.js (and I'm using ember-cli as well, so pardon the ES6 syntax):
import Ember from 'ember';
export function formatDate(input, options) {
input = moment(input);
if (options.hashContexts.fromNow) {
return input.fromNow();
} else {
return input.format(options.hash.format || 'LL');
}
}
export default Ember.Handlebars.makeBoundHelper(formatDate);
Then you just use {{format-date yourDateProperty}} in your template.

Ember: async hasMany relationship issue

I'm lost in Ember data promises and hasMore relationships. Here's what I have:
tarifs and reservations are both loaded (with success) at application start:
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return Em.RSVP.hash({
tarifs: this.store.find('tarif'),
reservations: this.store.find('reservation')
});
}
});
Then, tarifs and reservations are bounded to spectacles:
App.SpectaclesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
isLoaded:false,
model: function() {
if(this.isLoaded) {
return this.store.all('spectacle');
}
this.isLoaded = true;
return this.store.find('spectacle');
}
});
Spectacles are returned by the server with a representations ID array and a tarifs ID array. Representations objects are returned in the same response, below. Tarifs are already in the store, thanks to the first call.
Here's the Spectacle model:
App.Spectacle = DS.Model.extend({
titre: DS.attr('string'),
sousTitre: DS.attr('string'),
visuelUrl: DS.attr('string'),
tarifs: DS.hasMany('tarif', { async: true }),
representations: DS.hasMany('representation', { async: true })
});
Problem is: from what I can see (with the ember browser plugin), spectacles and tarifs aren't linked (while spectacles and representations are). The only difference I can find is that they are loaded in two separate server calls, but it shouldn't be an issue, right?
I thought it could be an async/promise issue. My need is, from a representation, to get the first spectacle's tarif. In short: myRepresentation.spectacle.tarifs[0]. I tried various things, like:
representation.get('spectacle.tarifs').then(function(tarifs) {
var tarif = tarifs.get('firstObject');
console.log(tarif);
}
Nothing is working: tarif is always null. Seems that all records are loaded, but the relation between spectacle and tarifs isn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
OK, forget it, the problem was in the tarif model:
App.Tarif = DS.Model.extend({
nom: DS.attr('string'),
montant: DS.attr('number'),
spectacle: DS.belongsTo('spectacle', { async: true })
});
The "belongsTo" relation is a mistake, because a tarif can be linked to many spectacles. I just removed this line, and everything is now fine.

Ember Data loading hasMany relation doesn't work in Ember App Kit (EAK)

I'm trying to set up a hasMany relationship between two models and a hasOne (belongsTo in the current version of Ember Data) between the hasMany and hasOne.
I'm working with Ember Data and have a made a RESTful API that works according to Ember's conventions. All the classes can be queried individually.
Bookmark = hasMany -> Termbinding
Termbinding = belongsTo -> Term
Term = belongsTo -> Termbinding
So the goal is to fetch a Bookmark and get the Terms that are attached to it through the Termbinding. I would already be pretty happy to get the Bookmark to Termbinding relation working. I went through all questions posted on here, sadly enough that didn't work.
Router.js
var Router = Ember.Router.extend();
Router.map(function() {
this.resource('bookmarks', { path:'bookmarks'});
this.resource('bookmark', { path:'bookmarks/:bookmark_id' });
this.resource('termbindings', { path:'termbindings' });
this.resource('termbinding', { path:'termbindings/:termbinding_id' });
});
export default Router;
Bookmark.js
var Bookmark = DS.Model.extend({
url: DS.attr('string'),
description: DS.attr('string'),
visits: DS.attr('number'),
termbinding: DS.hasMany('termbinding')
});
export default Bookmark;
Termbinding.js
var Termbinding = DS.Model.extend({
bookmarkId: DS.attr('number'),
termId: DS.attr('number'),
termOrder: DS.attr('number'),
bookmarks: DS.belongsTo('bookmark')
});
export default Termbinding;
I hope someone can help me because this is preventing me from using Ember for my bookmark application. Thanks in advance.
It might be wise to explicitly specify your inverses, i.e.
var Termbinding = DS.Model.extend({
bookmarkId: DS.attr('number'),
termId: DS.attr('number'),
termOrder: DS.attr('number'),
bookmarks: DS.belongsTo('bookmark', { inverse: 'termbinding' })
});
export default Termbinding;
var Bookmark = DS.Model.extend({
url: DS.attr('string'),
description: DS.attr('string'),
visits: DS.attr('number'),
termbinding: DS.hasMany('termbinding', { inverse: 'bookmarks' })
});
export default Bookmark;
Ember Data will try to map inverses for you, however, it is not without faults. It could possibly be that your pluralization of 'bookmarks' on a DS.belongsTo relationship is throwing off its automatic inverse mapping. Typically for belongsTo you would use the singular, 'bookmark'. Conversely, your hasMany would be termbindings: DS.hasMany('termbinding')
Also, if you could show where you're invoking the models that would be greatly appreciated. Typically I find that creating a JSbin at emberjs.jsbin.com helps me isolate the problem and also provides a collaborative space to debug and experiment.

Emberjs models with relations throws an error: "Cannot set property 'store' of undefined"

I'm trying out ember at my work to see if we should use it for our future applications I am doing a simple test application and I wanted to try out the relations between the models. This is the code I have that defines the models:
var App = Ember.Application.create();
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('index', {path: "/"}, function () {
this.resource("config", {path: "/config/:config_id"});
});
});
App.Store = DS.Store.extend();
App.Conf = DS.Model.extend({
module : DS.attr(),
reports: DS.hasMany('report'),
isClean: function() {
return !this.get('reports').isAny('isClean', false);
}.property('reports.#each')
});
App.Report = DS.Model.extend({
country: DS.attr(),
google_account_id: DS.attr(),
web_property_id: DS.attr(),
custom_source_uid: DS.attr(),
isClean: function() {
return (
this.get('country') != '' &&
this.get('google_account_id') != '' &&
this.get('web_property_id') != '' &&
this.get('custom_source_uid') != ''
);
}.property('country', 'google_account_id', 'web_property_id', 'custom_source_uid')
});
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
host: 'http://playground.loc/battle_of_frameworks/json.php'
});
…and here is the JSON that is being loaded:
The error I get is:
Error while loading route: TypeError: Cannot set property 'store' of undefined
I Googled the problem and it's usually something about naming your models in plural (ie: App.Reports) which I'm not doing. So I am not sure what the problem is here. Can anyone give any insights?
There are several problems in your code.
Your server doesn't provide the payload expected by Ember Data. I would recommend reading this document about customizing your serializer if you can't generate the proper json payload with your backend.
Ember.js is all about convention over configuration. Right now, you are not following those conventions:
attributes are camelcased
App.Report = DS.Model.extend({
googleAccountId: DS.attr() //instead of google_account_id
});
you don't need to create the index route, it comes for free in Ember. So your router should simply look like:
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource("config", {path: "/config/:config_id"});
});
Are you sure that your backend expects the Config to be served from /config/:config_id and not /configs/:config_id ?
You declare a config resource. The convention is to have a App.Config model and not App.Conf
In order to clean your code, you can also take advantage of computed properties to DRY your code:
App.Report = DS.Model.extend({
country: DS.attr(),
googleAccountId: DS.attr(),
webPropertyId: DS.attr(),
customSourceUid: DS.attr(),
isClean: Ember.computed.and('country', 'googleAccountId', 'webPropertyId', 'customSourceUid')
});
You also need to pay attention when defining a computed property based on an array. The isClean of Config uses isClean of Report but your computed property observes only the elements of your Report association. The correct way of writing it is:
App.Config = DS.Model.extend({
module : DS.attr(),
reports: DS.hasMany('report'),
isClean: function() {
return !this.get('reports').isAny('isClean', false);
}.property('reports.#each.isClean') //make sure to invalidate your computed property when `isClean` changes
});
I hope this helps.
