I'm very new to using Ember.js, and this is confusing me greatly. Is there a way to use a variable controller when routing in ember.js?
I'll try to explain a bit:
I have a list of models that I need to be controlled by different controllers and represented by different templates. For example: If I have the route items/:item_id
, and I want to do something like this:
App.ItemRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return items[params.lesson_id]; // edit: should be item_id not lesson_id
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set("model", model);
},
renderTemplate: function(controller, model) {
this.render(model.template || "item", {
controller: model.controller || "ItemController"
});
}
});
The ember guides here: http://emberjs.com/guides/routing/rendering-a-template/
show the use of this.render
with a controller option, but when I pass in anything (even "ItemController"
), I receive this error:
Error while loading route: Error: You passed controller: 'ItemController' into the render method, but no such controller could be found.
Is there a better way to do this?
