Deleted record in ember is not removed from collection - ember.js

I am building a simple CRUD app. I have a list of records fetched from the server, click on the first and I am on the show page for that record with a delete button that ties into this action on the controller:
destroy: function() {
this.content.deleteRecord()
this.store.commit()
this.transitionTo('usersIndex')
}
I know the record is deleted, I can see it deleted on the server. The AJAX request is successful. However, the record still shows up on the index page. If I do a hard refresh from the server it is now gone.
My Router for usersIndex is the following:
App.UsersIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return App.Users.find();
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set('content', model);
}
});

After calling deleteRecord you must save it for the ember data.
destroy: function() {
this.content.deleteRecord()
this.content.get('isDeleted');
this.content.save()
this.store.commit()
this.transitionTo('usersIndex')
}
Or alternatively you can sue destroyRecord which deleted thh record from both backend and ember data
destroy: function() {
this.content.destroyRecord()
this.transitionTo('usersIndex')
}
Hope this helps !

The solution I applied on my project was to enhance usersIndex to filter out any isDeleted records e.g.
In the template something like:
{{#unless user.isDeleted}}
{{render 'user' user}}
{{/unless}}
Also one can leverage the afterModel hook to test for isDeleted e.g.:
afterModel: function(model){
if ((!model.get('users').isAny('isDeleted',false)) || model.get('users.length') === 0){
this.send('exitUserIndex');
}
}

Ember - How to reload route model after save/update records

I want to reload my route model after save/update action in the route.js file. Following is my route model.
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
employeeList : this.store.findAll('employee'),
employee : this.store.createRecord("employee"),
});
}
I tried following and it doesn't worked.
this.refresh(); // I saw this in many posts.
Can anyone suggest how to reload a model after save/update operation?
Try to use store.push method.
"push is used to notify Ember Data's store of new or updated records that exist in the backend. This will return a record in the loaded.saved state"
store.push(store.normalize('employee', savedEmployee));
More: http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.Store.html#method_push
I'm wondering if it's a timing thing. New records show up in the data store for me great when I use a subroute...i.e. routes/employees.js returns this.store.findAll('employee') while routes/employees/new.js returns this.store.createRecord('employee').
If a new route isn't an option, perhaps a promise will help?
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
// forces a createRecord after the store is already loaded with all employees
var newEmployeePromise = new Ember.RSVP.Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let allEmployees = this.store.findAll('employee');
allEmployees.then(() => {
resolve(this.store.createRecord('employee'));
}, (error) => {
reject(error);
});
});
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
employeeList : this.store.findAll('employee'),
employee : newEmployeePromise,
});
}
}
you could use setupController hook to fix the issue.
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
employeeList : this.store.findAll('employee'),
employee : this.store.createRecord("employee"),
})
setupController(controller, model) {
controller.set('employeeList', model.employee);
}
});
Hope this help you !!!
Creating new record through this.store.createRecord() ,will update the store automatically, so you don't need to refresh the page, since it will update ui automatically.
If you still you need to update the page, like you said you can call this.refresh().. You please have a look at twiddle
If you provide ember-twiddle for non working.it would be good.

`needs` not waiting for data to be returned before rendering template

I am trying to implement a controller needing another (CampaignsNew needing AppsIndex), which looks like
App.CampaignsNewController = Ember.Controller.extend({
needs: ['appsIndex']
});
And in my CampaignsNew template I am showing it via
{{#if controllers.appsIndex.content.isUpdating}}
{{view App.SpinnerView}}
{{else}}
{{#each controllers.appsIndex.content}}
{{name}}
{{/each}}
{{/if}}
However controllers.appsIndex.content.isUpdating is never true. I.e. it attempts to show the data before it has been loaded.
My AppsIndex route has the model overridden:
App.AppsIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(controller) {
var store = this.get('store').findAll('app');
}
...
});
I can get it to work if I put the same code within my CampaignsNew route and modify the template to each through controller.content. Which says to me that needs is not using the route? It also works if I go to the /apps page and it loads the data, and then navigate to the /campaigns/new page.
How do I get this to work? Thanks!
Edit:
As requested, the relevant parts of my router:
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('apps', function() {
...
});
this.resource('campaigns', function() {
this.route('new');
});
});
And the AppsIndex is accessed at /apps and CampaignsNew is at /campaigns/new
Edit2:
After implementing the suggestion by #kingpin2k, I've found that Ember is throwing an error. Below are the updated files and the error received.
App.CampaignsNewController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
pageTitle: 'New Campaign'
});
App.CampaignsNewRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(controller) {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
campaign: this.store.createRecord('campaign'),
apps: this.store.find('app')
});
// return this.store.createRecord('campaign');
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
controller.set('apps', model.apps);
this._super(controller, model.campaign);
}
});
Ember throws this error:
Error while loading route: Error: Assertion Failed: Cannot delegate set('apps', <DS.RecordArray:ember689>) to the 'content' property of object proxy <App.CampaignsNewController:ember756>: its 'content' is undefined.
I read online that this is because the content object doesn't exist. If I set it like so:
App.CampaignsNewController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
content: Ember.Object.create(),
...
});
Then the page loads without error, and when inspecting the Ember Chrome extension, I can see the data has loaded. But it doesn't show on the page. Which I suppose happened because the content object existed and so Ember didn't wait for the model's promise to fulfill before rendering the template. Seems odd that you should have to define content in such a way though. Any insight on how to handle this?
Edit3: Question answered for me in another thread
Based on your router, apps isn't a parent of campaigns/new.
This means someone could hit #/campaigns/new and Ember would hit ApplicationRoute, CampaignsRoute, and CampaignsNewRoute to populate the necessary information for the url requested. Using needs as a way of communicating between controllers really only makes sense in an ancestral pattern (aka communicating with your parents, grandparents etc).
Just as another quick note, AppsIndex is a route of Apps, it won't be hit when your url includes a child. e.g.
Router
this.resource('apps', function() {
this.resource('chocolate', function(){
.....
});
});
Url being hit
#/apps/chocolate
Routes that will be hit
ApplicationRoute
AppsRoute
ChocolateRoute
ChocolateIndexRoute
The index route is only hit when you don't specify a route of a resource, and you are hitting that exact resource (aka nothing past that resource).
Update
You can return multiple models from a particular hook:
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return Em.RSVP.hash({
cows: this.store.find('cows'),
dogs: this.store.find('dogs')
});
}
});
If you want the main model to still be cows, you could switch this up at the setupController level.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return Em.RSVP.hash({
cows: this.store.find('cows'),
dogs: this.store.find('dogs')
});
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
controller.set('dogs', model.dogs); // there is a property on the controller called dogs with the dogs
this._super(controller, model.cows); // the model backing the controller is cows
}
});
Check out the second answer here, EmberJS: How to load multiple models on the same route? (the first is correct as well, just doesn't mention the gotchas of returning multiple models from the model hook).
You can also just set the property during the setupController, though this means it won't be available when the page has loaded, but asynchronously later.
Which controller?
Use Controller if you aren't going to back your controller with a model.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return undefined;
}
});
Use ObjectController, if you are going to set the model of the controller as something, that isn't a collection.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return Em.RSVP.hash({
cows: this.store.find('cows'),
dogs: this.store.find('dogs')
});
}
});
Use ArrayController if that something is going to be a collection of some sort.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return ['asdf','fdsasfd'];
}
});
Note
If you override the setupController, it won't set the model of the controller unless you explicitly tell it to, or use this._super.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return Em.RSVP.hash({
cows: this.store.find('cows'),
dogs: this.store.find('dogs')
});
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
controller.set('cows', model.cows);
controller.set('dogs', model.dogs);
// uh oh, model isn't set on the controller, it should just be Controller
// or you should define one of them as the model
// controller.set('model', model.cows); or
// this._super(controller, model.cows); this does the default setupController method
// in this particular case, ArrayController
}
});

Ember + Ember Data: How to rollback a record after calling deleteRecord()

I have an Em.ArrayController with a bunch of records in it. They are all controlled by an itemController.
App.ColorsController = Em.ArrayController.extend({
itemController: 'color',
actions: {
discardChanges: function() {
this.get('content').forEach(function(color) { color.rollback(); }
// also tried an arrayComputed property like this:
// deletedRecords: Em.computed.filterBy('content', 'isDeleted', true);
}
}
});
If I call deleteRecord() on one of the models (from an action in the itemController, the model is removed from the model of the ArrayController.
App.ColorController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
deleteColor: function() {
// does not send a `DELETE` request, only
// changes the state of the record
this.get('content').deleteRecord();
}
}
});
Remember that deleteRecord doesn't submit a network request, it merely transitions the state of the object to deleted.uncommitted.
Do I need to manually retain some sort of handle on this object after deleting it? Or is there some way for the ArrayController to access items in this state.
I've attempted to filter the content of the ArrayController by isDeleted.
Your array controller is being backed by a filter. Filters are active, in that they automatically add/remove records as the store has active records added/removed. (fyi, find('foo') returns the all filter).
You can copy the contents to a non active collection/array which won't automagically add/remove the models (you will have to do everything manually). The easiest place would be to override the setupController and add a property onto your controller, which can be accessed in your template.
App.FooRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
this.store.find('foo');
},
setupController: function(controller, model){
this._super(controller, model);
controller.set('staticFoos', model.toArray());
}
});

LSAdapter store.find(type, id) tries to push a new record?

I'm trying to use LSAdapter (https://github.com/rpflorence/ember-localstorage-adapter) in my ember application. I have only one page which is called index. I use the localstorage to persist the data even when refreshing the page so there will only be one record in the LocalStorage for the index page.
When I try to bind the model to the controller via the index route, I get this error :
Assertion failed: You must include an "id" in a hash passed to "push"
However, if there is a record in the localstorage, everything works fine.
Here is my IndexRoute :
PC.IndexRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
var modelId = this.get('store').modelFor(this.routeName);
return this.get('store').find(this.routeName, modelId);
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set('model', model);
}
});
How do I get rid of this error ?
Do I need to manually check in the LocalStorage without using the LSAdapter ? But that would defeat the purpose of the adapter.
I ran into this issue and ended up patching the adapter (https://github.com/musicist288/ember-localstorage-adapter/commit/60313970d6591be51cd29c6137367721465294fc). In my application I needed a find or create behavior so I ended up with the following:
App.Route = Em.Route.extend({
model: function (params) {
var store = this.get('store');
return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
store.find("school", params.school_id).then(function (model) {
resolve(model);
}).catch(function () {
resolve(store.push("school", App.SchoolFixtures.findBy('id', params.school_id)));
});
});
}
});
Not sure if this is the best solution, but it works for now.
This fix has been merged in the main branch of LSAdapter.
https://github.com/rpflorence/ember-localstorage-adapter/pull/66
It now works out of the box from the official repo at https://github.com/rpflorence/ember-localstorage-adapter

Ember js pre 4 - router not resolving id on link click

I have a list of accounts and then i have a view link to view an account in detail and this is the account route. When i click the view link the (guid) doesnt update when going through the router, it only updates in the URL but it doesnt seem to be carrying through to the code.
When i do a browser refresh then the (guid) gets carried through to the router... Its not resolving for some reason.
Im not using ember-data but will use it in the future.
Here is my "Accounts" template code with the "View" link:
{{#each accountdata in controller}}
<tr>
<td>{{accountdata.accountnumber}}</td>
<td>{{accountdata.accountname}}</td>
<td>{{accountdata.accounttypestatus}}</td>
<td>{{accountdata.accountuser}}</td>
<td>{{#linkTo account accountdata}}View{{/linkTo}}</td>
</tr>
{{/each}}
accountdata is the context with the "accountguid" which is my id.
Here is my router:
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource("accounts", { path: '/accounts' });
this.resource("account", { path: "/accounts/:accountguid" });
});
App.AccountsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set('searchfilter','ALL');
controller.search();
}
});
App.AccountRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.show(controller);
},
model: function(params) {
this.controllerFor('account').set('accountguid',params.accountguid);
},
serialize: function(model) {
return {accountguid: Em.get(model, 'accountguid')}
}
});
My controller.show is where i send the context to call a script to display the account details.
So i just need view to carry through the correct accountguid each time which it isnt and then to call the show(context) method.
Thanks
This is my old router code which worked 100%. When i clicked a link it resolved the :accountguid and when i did a browser refresh it did the same thing. i had no problems, everything just worked.
// //Accounts
// accounts: Ember.Route.extend({
// route: '/accounts',
// index: Ember.Route.extend({
// route: '/',
// connectOutlets: function (router) {
// router.get('applicationController').connectOutlet('accounts');
// router.get('accountsController').set('searchfilter','ALL');
// router.get('accountsController').search();
// }
// }),
// view: Ember.Route.extend({
// route: '/:accountguid',
// connectOutlets: function (router, account) {
// router.get('applicationController').connectOutlet('account', account);
// router.get('accountController').show(account);
// //router.get('accountController').connectOutlet('eventloghistory','eventloghistory');
// }
// })
// }),
I managed to solve my problem with the following code. I am now able to refresh the browser and i am able to click the link and it will carry through the current :accountguid in use to the show() method.
App.AccountRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return {accountguid: params.accountguid};
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.show(model);
},
serialize: function(model) {
return {accountguid: Em.get(model, 'accountguid')}
}
});
Change your router map to the following and it should work
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource("accounts", function(){
this.resource('account',{path:':account_id'});
});
});
Please, show us the code behind your AccountsController and AccountController. It would be most useful if you provide a jsfiddle with the whole construction.
In general, you may be unaware of the new flow of things. Here is what happens in the two scenarios:
1. You navigate to the AccountRoute by setting the URL (/account/5 for example).
1.1. the 'model' hook of the AccountRoute is called
model: function(params) {
return your model here...
}
with params = { accountguid: 5 }. Because you are not using ember-data, you should implement this hook and initialise and return the model there.
1.2. the setupController hook is called with the AccountController and the model returned by the model hook. Without the code behind
controller.show(controller);
It is not quite clear what its purpose is, but you should probably do something like
setupController: function(controller, model) {
this._super(controller, model);
controller.set('content', model);
controller.show(model);
}
As you can see, by not implementing the model hook, you URL stays correct, but the route does not know how to build the needed model resource.
You transition to the route via a linkTo call
{{#linkTo account accountdata}}View{{/linkTo}}
Here, linkTo expects accountdata to be the full account model for the route. Meaning it may not carry only partial data like id for example (read this for clearance: In latest Ember, how do you link to a route with just the id/name of a model, rather than providing all of its attributes in the linking page?).
2.1. The model hook of the AccountRoute is NOT called. The AccountRoute model property is set to the object that is passed to linkTo instead (in our case 'accountdata').
2.2. setupController is called with AccountController and the accountdata object.
If you accountdata object is not complete, it would be wise to create a complete instance here and set it to the controller.
As you can imagine, if you accountdata is like { id: 5, accountname: "John", accounttypestatus: "A", ...}, then after a click on linkTo, the URL will update correctly to /account/5, but the account template will receive accountdata, rather than an actual account.
P.P. If none of the above is any help, this might be your issue: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/1709
