Question

How do I find the relevant model where its name equals something? I’ve tried: this.get('content').findProperty('name', name), but it doesn’t appear to work. I suppose it’d work if my enumerable wasn’t stuffed full of models…

Use findProperty / find on your Ember.ArrayController instance, see http://jsfiddle.net/pangratz666/kPmHr/:

App.peopleController = Ember.ArrayController.create({
    content: [
        App.Person.create({ name: 'Adam' }),
        App.Person.create({ name: 'John' }),
        App.Person.create({ name: 'Adam' })
    ],

    findByName: function(name) {
        var found = this.findProperty('name', name);
        console.log('found model %@'.fmt(found));
    }
});

App.peopleController.findByName('Adam');​
