Hello everyone,
I have this controller.
App.ContactsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
isShowNew: false
})
I want to access isShowNew from another controller, so I thought I could use needs property in another controller.
App.ContactsNewController = Ember.Controller.extend({
needs: "contacts",
actions: {
create: function() {
console.log(this.controllers)
console.log(this.get('controllers').contacts) //undefined
}
}
});
But all I’m getting is undefined?
This worked.
this.get('controllers.contacts')

Why do you need access to contacts controller?
Because in “ContactsController” i have attribute isVisible I want to set to false so I can hide the “contactsNewView” from “contactsView”.

You could bubble up the action instead.
App.ContactsController = Ember.Controller.extend({
actions: {
create: function() {
this.set('isShowNew', false);
}
}
});
App.ContactsNewController = Ember.Controller.extend({
actions: {
create: function() {
// do your stuff here
return true; // will bubble this action up to the controller above
}
}
});
Also, keep in mind that you’d probably want to handle persisting of the created contact in the router instead of the controller.
Well I tried to handle create in the ContactsController in the first place but it doesn’t work
I removed the create action from App.ContactsNewController, but the action doesn’t bubble for some reason.
Uncaught Error: Nothing handled the action ‘create’. If you did handle
the action, this error can be caused by returning true from an action
handler in a controller, causing the action to bubble.
App.ContactsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
actions: {
create: function() {
console.log('contactS')
}
}
});
App.ContactController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
create: function() {
console.log('contact')
}
}
});
Just in case you want to know how I dispatched the action is through
App.ContactsNewView = Ember.View.extend({
submit: function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
this.get('controller').send('create')
return false;
}
})

Right, my mistake, from controller it will bubble to the closest route and then up the routes.
Actually it’s not your mistake
Something is wrong since it never bubbles to the Route.
I would rather put all the actions in the Route instead of using every single controller to handle it.

He is using version 1.0, and he can get the actions to go up to the ApplicationRoute.
Weird!
<form>
<label>State</label>
{{input value=state type="text"}}
<br />
<button {{action 'create'}}>Create</button>
</form>
This is my app inspector
This is HIS app inspector
I figure it out
I just need to use the INDEX view
This is funny
Talking to the same guy who made the sample I’m looking at to create my application
Thank you
