[SOLVED]Ember-cli: Route models break jquery plugins

You can observe the parent model for changes and rerender the whole component. Its not a great solution (I’m not sure it will continue to work with routeable components, and it is fairly tightly bound to the parent) but it may be what you’re looking for.

// component.js

  _modelChanged: function() {
    this.rerender();
  }.observes('parentModel'),
  parentModelBinding: Ember.Binding.oneWay('targetObject.model'),

Another option is to turn off readOnly before setting the score in _changed
