Overview of this book

Ember.js is an open source JavaScript framework that will make you more productive. It uses common idioms and practices, making it simple to create amazing single-page applications. It also lets you create code in a modular way using the latest JavaScript features. Not only that, it has a great set of APIs to get any task done. The Ember.js community is welcoming newcomers and is ready to help you when needed. This book provides in-depth explanations on how to use the Ember.js framework to take you from beginner to expert. You’ll start with some basic topics and by the end of the book, you’ll know everything you need to know to build a fully operational Ember application. We’ll begin by explaining key points on how to use the Ember.js framework and the associated tools. You’ll learn how to effectively use Ember CLI and how to create and deploy your application. We’ll take a close look at the Ember object model and templates by examining bindings and observers. We’ll then move onto Ember components, models, and Ember Data. We’ll show you examples on how to connect to RESTful databases. Next we’ll get to grips with testing with integration and acceptance tests using QUnit. We will conclude by covering authentication, services, and Ember add-ons. We’ll explore advanced topics such as services and initializers, and how to use them together to build real-time applications.

Passing properties to a component


Components by default are isolated from their surroundings. Any data that the component needs must be passed in. In this recipe, we'll create a student list. However, we will pass data to the component to be rendered.

How to do it...

  1. In a new application, generate a new component and the application route:

    $ ember g route application
    $ ember g component student-list
    

    This will generate the application.js file in the routes folder and the files necessary from the student-list component.

  2. Edit the application.js file in the app/routes folder:

    // app/routes/application.js
    import Ember from 'ember';
    
    export default Ember.Route.extend({
        model() {
          return ['Jim','Jeff','Jill']
        }
    });

    This model will return a simple array.

  3. Update the student-list template in the app/templates/components folder:

    // app/templates/components/student-info.hbs
    
    {{#each compModel as |student|}}
        {{student}}<br>
    {{/each}}

    This will take the compModel property and iterate over...
