ckung: can you elaborate?

locks: seems that the build is passing again

(was referring to: https://travis-ci.org/babel/broccoli-babel-tran...)

thanks for responding!

how can I redirect to an external url from within a router?

or “route”

benlieb: window.location something like usual

locks: that’s what I ended up doing.

👍

How can I access the application controller in a route?

controllerFor?

benlieb -- yes

this.controllerFor('application')

why controllerFor in Route, but ‘needs’ in Controller?

controllerFor gets you a handle on the controller... needs in a controller is dependency injection... very different use cases.

Hi there. Is there a way to render template into its parent outlet. I have a route /users/1/settings, I want to have the settings render in its own page. So I did this in its route: this.render({into: 'settings'});

I wonder if it's right to do?

Needs is deprecated for Ember.inject.controller

does Ember have a nice way to parse urls?

benlieb: how so? It has the router

khoapham: just because the url is nested doesn't mean the route is

khoapham: you might run into problems with your approach

khoapham: what does render into settings do though?

That looks like the default behaviour

@khaopham, using "into:" got me into tons of trouble before... try to avoid using that approach (use render into if you've got, like, a modal you need to render)

khaopham, templates will automatically render into their parent outlets (buffer)

would be better to hear a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish, though, before making any recommendations.

hi all. i've got a question about persisting data to the client side. i've got an app where i use an API to load a bunch of content. what's my best way to persist that on the client side for offline access?

i don't add anything to the API

it's just reading and caching

locks: So each user will have their own settings, and user template include other thing that I don't want to show up in the setting view.

I just want to render settings template on their own page, and using the same model as from its parent (:user)

mysterlune: ^

try to leverage the `user.index` template for the user stuff. if you're using a `user` template, it will display the user info for every nested route

`user.index` will only display when your user is visiting the `user/1` path...

khoapham: http://hashrocket.com/blog/posts/ember-routing-...

khoapham: the architectural stuff is correct but you should just use route instead of resource now

carterparks: check ember-sync for ideas

once they transition to the settings route (`user/1/settings`) ember will look for a `settings` and `settings.index` template to render

alexspeller: can we reach them to update the post?

locks: it's overkill for what i'm doing because it's all one way

locks: https://twitter.com/biscuitvile looks like he's not at the company anymore, could be awkward ;)

locks: my app is read only so i don't need to beam new data back to a server

mysterlune: I think I know what you're saying. will give it a try now. Thanks!

carterparks: it will still do what you want

carterparks: and will likely be simple to implement

alexspeller: does it use localstorage-adapter?

i'm so tired of messing with that craptacular broken adapter

The implementer is here

Just fyi

are there any other client persitence libraries than ember-indexeddb-adapter and ember-localstorage-adapter?

maybe some that stay a little more up to date with the newer versions of ember data/ember?

"craptacular" ... added to my lexicon... thx carterparks!

mysterlune: my pleasure :)

keep 'em coming. ;)

can i assign FIXTURES dynamically?

on load

Don't

i don't need to change the data at any point

it loads once at the beginning and then stays the same

So use static data :x

it loads it from the YouTube API

Use an initializer to stick it in a service for example

i want to persist it for offline usage.

Stick it in localstorage and a service

locks: service?

Check localstorage and load it from there

what adapter would i use for that?

Ember.Service

No adapter

hrm

Just POJOs

what is the purpose of `Ember.Service`? seems like it's just `Ember.Object` with and `isServiceFactory` prop... :/

ls

mysterlune: because it doesn't need anything else atm

And because it's easier to say "use an Ember.Service" than "use a service"
