How to Call A from B in Ember

This document provides guidance on communicating between different layers in Ember, such as between routes, controllers, views, and templates. It lists several standard Ember approaches for accessing models, routes, controllers, and views from different layers. These include using this.modelFor(), this.get('target'), needs: [], and this.get('controller'). It also presents some non-ideal but possible approaches as emergency options, like manually connecting layers through init functions or using the container lookup. The document aims to help understand how information flows between layers in Ember.
![When Im AppleController
Apple (the model)
this.get(content) (if its an Ember.ObjectController)
AppleRoute
this.get(target) (if youre currently on that route)
OrangeController
needs: [orange] (in the root of AppleController)
this.get(controllers.orange)
AppleView - no idea

Unlike kangaroos and eucalyptus-eating possums, koalas are hindgut fermenters, and their digestive retention can last for up to 100 hours in the wild, or up to 200 hours in captivity. This is made possible by the extraordinary length of their caecum200 cm (80 in) long and 10 cm (4 in) in diameterthe largest proportionally of any animal. Koalas can select which food particles to retain for longer fermentation and which to pass through. Large particles typically pass through more quickly, as they would take more time to digest. While the hindgut is proportionally larger in the koala than in other herbivores, only 10% of the animal's energy is obtained from fermentation. Since the koala gains a low amount of energy from its diet, its metabolic rate is half that of a typical mammal, although this can vary between seasons and sexes. The koala conserves water by passing relatively dry faecal pellets high in undigested fibre, and by storing water in the caecum.
- 8. The List Well have two models, called Apple and Orange Each has their own route, controller, view, and template This is just for the simplest case
- 9. When Im AppleRoute Apple (the model) this.modelFor(apple) OrangeRoute this.get(router).getHandler(orange) AppleController this.controllerFor(apple) AppleView - no idea Apple Template - no idea
- 10. When Im AppleController Apple (the model) this.get(content) (if its an Ember.ObjectController) AppleRoute this.get(target) (if youre currently on that route) OrangeController needs: [orange] (in the root of AppleController) this.get(controllers.orange) AppleView - no idea Apple Template - no idea
- 11. When Im AppleView Apple (the model) this.get(context) (if AppleController is an Ember.ObjectController) this.get(controller.content) (if AppleController is an Ember.ObjectController) AppleRoute this.get(controller.target) (if youre currently on that route) AppleController this.get(controller) OrangeView - no idea Apple Template this.get(template) (for the handlebars function, but you wouldnt touch that much) this.get(element) (for the DOM element)
- 12. When Im the Apple Template Apple (the model) this.get(view.context) (if AppleController is an Ember.ObjectController) this.get(controller.content) (if AppleController is an Ember.ObjectController) AppleRoute this.get(controller.target) (if youre currently on that route) AppleController this.get(controller) AppleView this.get(view) Orange Template - no idea
- 13. In case of emergency... Warning: these are not elegant or the Ember Way but could let you meet a deadline Make an init function and make manual connections AppleView = Em.View.extend({ init: function() { this.get(controller).set(yourAppleView, this); } } Ask the almighty container, available pretty much everywhere in your app. this.get(container).lookup(view:apple)
