You can specify a route’s model, by defining the template name in the route which is the same name as the data template, and implement its model hook.
Ember.Route.extend ({
model: function() {
return { //value-1 },{ //value-2 },{..},{ //value-n };
}
});
In the above code value-1 to value-n variables are used to store the values which are being called in the template.
The following table lists down the different types of Specifying Routes model −
| S.No. | Specifying Routes & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dynamic Models It defines the routes with dynamic segment which is used by Ember to access the value from URL. |
| 2 | Multiple Models You can define multiple models using the RSVP.hash which further uses the objects to return the promises. |
Example
The following example shows how to specify a route for displaying data. Create a new route as specified in the previous chapters. Now open the router.js file with the following code to define the 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('specifyroute');
});
//It specifies Router variable available to other parts of the app
export default Router;
Create the application.hbs file and add the following code −
//link-to is a handlebar helper used for creating links
{{#link-to 'specifyroute'}}Click here to see details{{/link-to}}
{{outlet}} //It is a general helper, where content from other pages will
appear inside this section
Open the specifyroute.hbs file created under app/templates/ with the following code −
<h2>List of Players</h2>
<ul>
//The <i>each</i> helper to loop over each item in the array provided from model() hook
{{#each model as |player|}}
<li>{{player}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
{{outlet}}
To construct the URL, you need to implement model to return the values −
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend ({
//The model() method returns the data which you want to make available to the template
model() {
return ['MS Dhoni', 'Steve Smith', 'Jason Roy','AB de Villiers','Kane Williamson'];
}
});
