I am trying to use the needs api to get access the content of the PagesController from my IndexController. But it is not working, the only way I have gotten it to work is to add an IndexRoute and load it through the model hook. Is there a way to use controller needs api to access the content of another controller. Here is the JSBIN: http://jsbin.com/gubuvuhi/1/edit
The PagesControllers:
App.PagesController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({});
The IndexControler:
App.IndexController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
needs: 'pages',
fetchPages: Em.computed.alias("controllers.pages.content"),
});
The PagesRoute:
App.PagesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.store.find('page');
}
});
This index_template doesn't render fetchPages:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name='index'>
<div class="container">
<b>failed to display using needs api </b>
<div>
{{#each page in fetchPages }}
{{page.navbar}}
{{/each}}
</div>
</script>
But when I add an IndexRoute and change the IndexTemplate to this, it works & renders the right content:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name='index'>
<div class="container">
<b>failed to display using needs api </b>
<div>
{{#each page in model }}
{{page.navbar}}
{{/each}}
</div>
</script>
This is the IndexRoute, note that
App.IndexRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.store.find('page');
}
});
You will see that this.store.find('pages') is repeated in both IndexRoute and PagesRoute, I want to avoid this by using needs api to get PagesController's content from the IndexController. Is there a way to do this. Here is the JSBIN: http://jsbin.com/gubuvuhi/1/edit
