How my brain wrapped around emberjs. Trying to create a controller that loads objects from a webservice call that returns a JSON array:
(Note that this is javascript generated from coffeescript)
MTM.Trade.controller = Ember.ArrayController.create({
loadAll: function() {
var self;
self = this;
this.set('content', []);
return $.getJSON('http://localhost:8080/webservice/trades', function(data) {
var jsonTrade, trade, _i, _len;
console.log("Length = " + data.length);
for (_i = 0, _len = data.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
jsonTrade = data[_i];
trade = MTM.Trade.create(jsonTrade);
self.pushObject(trade);
}
console.log("Everything pushed");
});
}
});
When called, MTM.Trade.controller.loadAll()it is clear that the loop is called for each object. However, my controller never changes. console.log MTM.Trade.controller.get('content')returns an empty array.
I know that there are data with ember-rest and ember-data, but for now I will refuse to find out how to do it myself, and the will will be transferred to this framework later.
UPDATE
Thanks in this article I got the answer to my question .. I need to initialize the array as such:
MTM.Trade.controller = Ember.ArrayController.create({
init: function() {
this._super();
return this.set('content', Ember.A());
},
loadAll: function() {
...
, : ? ArrayController ? , ArrayController?
