App.settings vs App.get("settings")

1

I’m setting up a settings object in my ready function, and I’m just wondering what the difference is between the two notations:

App.settings
App.get("settings")

Is there some kind of error handling or something available behind get? What’s the best practice?

Using getters and setters when setting or retrieving properties on Ember objects is super important — it’s how the Ember object model knows to recalculate computed properties, bindings, and observers, which drive a lot of the awesomeness of Ember.

You should definitely read through the Object Model section of the Ember guides if you haven’t already: http://emberjs.com/guides/object-model/classes-and-instances/

Whether or not you expect a property (like your settings object) to participate in bindings or any of that stuff, it’s still a good idea to get in the habit of using the getters & setters.
