Ember ApplicationRoute with other Routes

Question

I have a basic ember question here. I'm looking to set up an ember ApplicationRoute that gets loaded immediately, and have all other routes extend from this application route. I would like the data that the ApplicationRoute loads to be loaded on every page transition. Is this possible? FYI I'm also using ember-data and rails as an API.

Thanks!

So the behavior you need is to load something with each request? Just curious why you would need this to run on each route — Toran Billups
Im trying to implement a messaging/notification system of sorts. Ember doesnt seem to have a solid solution yet for real time data loading. I've been back and forth between using a websockets approach and loading the data with each transition. — Bobby Hazel
ah, I can't say I've done anything with real-time myself but you could always implement long polling at some layer in the stack (in which case you "could" just fire an async $.ajax in the application route (as it should fire with each navigation). I can't say if this is the right or wrong way to do it, but it should work well enough to spike it out — Toran Billups

If you want a real time data pushed from a server you should try extending your ApplicationAdapter to handle data from websocket connection and push in to the store object. A nice example of parsing model data from websocket connection may be found in API docs http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.RESTSerializer.html#method_extract
