How to access dynamic segment in a controller in Ember.js?

Question

I have an example route:

this.route(\'client\', {path: \':id\'});

I can access this in my route like this:

model: function(para         


        

Answer 1

I just came across this question since I too was wondering what was the best way to do this. I chose to go via the route of returning a hash from the model rather than setting parameters in the route.

So in your case I would do the following:

model() {
  Ember.RSVP.hash({client: , id: id});
}

And then in the controller or template I can access the client by calling

model.client

and get the id by calling

model.id

I personally feel this is a cleaner way of accessing the id as compared to setting a param on the route. Of course I am assuming that the id is not already set on the model. Otherwise this entire exercise is pointless.
