Hi guys , I have really big confuse with providing data from route to controller , please help me:

route/application.js

```
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({

  model() {
    return {
      token: '1213213',
      isLogin: true
    };
  },
  setupController(controller, model) {
    controller.set('model', model);
  }
});

```

controllers/application.js

```
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Controller.extend({

  init() {
    console.log(this.get('model'));
  }

});

```

And every time I have `undefined`, but I to open ember tools in chrome we will see this model already exist in controller.

The model has not yet been set at the time the `init` method is called.

Thanks for your comment.

So I should use some special methods of controller class ? Or need run reopenClass or some another ?

No…what @Gaurav0 is trying to say is… `init` is technically the class’ constructor. Consider the following piece of over simplified code that shows the execution order.

```nohighlight
class Controller {
  constructor() {
    this.init();
  }

  init() {
    console.log(this.get('model')); // This is your get model
  }
}

var instance = new Controller();

instance.set('model', {});

```

If you follow the execution order, you’ll see that of course model is going to be `undefined` when you get it.
