Load model like a refresh without ember-data - ember.js

Question

I'm writing a little ember app without using Ember-Data (using TheMovieDB API) and I don't understand why model is not load when I click on a {{#linkTo}} link, but when I refresh the page manually datas are loaded correctly.
Here is my App.js :
window.App = Ember.Application.create();
App.Router.map(function() {
this.route('about');
this.resource('movie', {
path: '/movie/:movie_id'
})
});
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function (controller) {
var movies = [];
$.ajax({
url: "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=5b088f4b0e39fa8bc5c9d015d9706547",
type: "GET",
async: false,
success: function (data) {
var length = data.results.length;
data.results.forEach(function (item) {
if (item.backdrop_path != null) {
var tmp = item.backdrop_path;
item.backdrop_path = "http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/w500/"+tmp+"?api_key=5b088f4b0e39fa8bc5c9d015d9706547"
movies.push(item);
}
})
}
});
controller.set('content', movies);
}
});
App.MovieRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function (param) {
var infos;
/* Important !! */
var promise = Ember.Deferred.create();
$.ajax({
url: "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/"+param.movie_id+"?api_key=5b088f4b0e39fa8bc5c9d015d9706547",
type: "GET",
success: function (data) {
var tmp = data.backdrop_path;
data.backdrop_path = "http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/w500/"+tmp+"?api_key=5b088f4b0e39fa8bc5c9d015d9706547";
// infos = Ember.Object.create(data)
promise.resolve(data);
}
});
console.log("MODEL");
return promise;
},
setupController: function (controller, model) {
controller.set('content', model);
}
});
App.Movie = Ember.Object.extend({})
Thanks for your help !

Answer 1

Since you have not specified which model you mean, I'm assuming you mean the movie model, and with my assumption I'm trying to answer.
I think your problem is that your template expects the model coming from a MovieIndexController because you specified a resource in your router map instead of a simple route.
That said, the solution might be to rename your controller to MovieIndexController and respectively the route MovieIndexRoute.
Here the reference my answer is based on, under the paragraph Resources.
Hope it helps
