EmberJS - Rendering a Template - Adglob Infosystem Pvt Ltd

The routes are used for rendering the external template to the screen which can be achieved by defining templateName in the route handler.

Syntax

Ember.Route.extend ({
   templateName: 'path'
});

Example

The following example shows how to render a template for displaying data. Create a new route as specified in the previous chapters. Here we have created the route as posts and open the router.js file with the following code to define URL mappings −

import Ember from 'ember';                   
//Access to Ember.js library as variable Ember
import config from './config/environment';
//It provides access to app's configuration data as variable config 

//The const declares read only variable
const Router = Ember.Router.extend ({
   location: config.locationType,
   rootURL: config.rootURL
});

Router.map(function() {
   this.route('posts', function() {
      this.route('new');
   });
});

//It specifies Router variable available to other parts of the app

export default Router;

Create the application.hbs file and add the following code in it −

//link-to is a handlebar helper used for creating links
{{#link-to 'posts'}}Click Here{{/link-to}}
{{outlet}} //It is a general helper, where content from other pages 
   will appear inside this section

Open the file posts.js created under app/routes/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend ({
   templateName: 'posts/new'
});

Open the posts/new.hbs file created under app/templates/ with the following code −

<h2>Posts</h2>
Page is rendered by defining templateName property.
{{outlet}}

Output

When you click the link that you receive in the output, it will generate a result as in the following screenshot −
