Is there any foolproof way to access controller from a route?
<a href=# class=btn {{action someAction user}}>add</a>
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend
events:
someAction: (user) ->
console.log 'give me name from currentUser controller'
The someAction is very general and I think that ApplicationRoute is the best place for it.
I think the method controllerFor should be available in this event:
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend
events:
someAction: (user) ->
console.log this.controllerFor(currentUser).get(name)
Update in response to the questions in the comments:
It all depends on what you want to do. Worrying about DRY on such a basic method, does not make much sense imho.
In your kudos left case I would do this:
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend
events:
someAction: (user) ->
this.controllerFor(currentUser).decrementKudos();
// implement the decrementKudos in your controller
But I guess storing this one controller should also work, if this is too much code for you:
App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend
currentUserCon : this.controllerFor(currentUser)
events:
someAction: (user) ->
this.currentUserCon.decrementKudos();
// implement the decrementKudos in your controller
