Consider the following router
this.resource('a', function() {
this.resource('child', function() {
this.route('new');
this.route('edit');
});
});
this.resource('b', function() {
this.resource('child', function() {
this.route('new');
this.route('edit');
});
});
If I understand ember correctly it expects that a single resource is at the same root level
-- a
-- b
-- child
-- -- new
-- -- edit
But when I look at the above router I expect there to be two different child resources and that the nesting would also enforce namespacing. In other words I expect to be able to create a folder structure like below. And have child
behave differently depending on the context and who is its parent resource.
-- a
-- -- child
-- -- -- new
-- -- -- edit
-- b
-- -- child
-- -- -- new
-- -- -- edit
In other words there would be a.child
and b.child
which are really different things and they would not share the same templates, controllers, routes etc.
From what I understand about ember the way these are registered on the container doesn’t really account for hierarchy in way the containerKey
strings are defined and registered.
Is this a conscious design decision? I can see the converse situation of expressing hierarchy in the containerKey
actually adds more complexity.
Am I thinking about this correctly?
To be more concrete see this jsbin
http://emberjs.jsbin.com/kixef/1/
I am expecting to be able to do
{{#link-to 'a.child'}}a child resource{{/link-to}}
{{#link-to 'b.child'}}b child resource{{/link-to}}
But ember doesn’t seem to work that way.
