Ember Ember.select get selected value

Question

I have a simple Ember application where I have an input box, two select boxes and a button. I can access the value of the input box in the method \"doSearch\", but not the v

Answer 1

Extend your ApplicationController with two new variables to hold the selected values:

App.ApplicationController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
  selectedContentType: null,
  selectedDate: null,
  ...
});

and use the selectionBinding property of the Ember.Select class to bind to those variables

Content Type:
  {{view Ember.Select
    content=selectContentType
    optionValuePath="content.value"
    optionLabelPath="content.label"
    selectionBinding=selectedContentType}}

Date:
  {{view Ember.Select
    content=selectDate
    optionValuePath="content.value"
    optionLabelPath="content.label"
    selectionBinding=selectedDate}}

then you can later access them easily with:

App.ApplicationController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
  selectedContentType: null,
  selectedDate: null,
  ...
  actions: {
    doSearch: function () {
      var selectedDate = this.get('selectedDate.value');
      console.log( selectedDate );

      var selectedType = this.get('selectedContentType.value');
      console.log( selectedType );
    }
  }
});

Hope it helps.
