Question

I’m wondering how should I implement the following use case with emberjs:

Imagine an app matching thoses routes:

/blog/archives
/blog/article/1

In both routes, the user can click on a button which displays the last published comments on the blog in a little modalbox docked in the bottom right corner (it’s just an example!).

I want to persist the state of this modalbox based on a hash in the URL:

/blog/archives?state=/comments/1
/blog/article/1?state=/comments/1

Maybe I need to use multiples routers with each one handling a specific part of the URL.

Is something available for this use case in Ember.js?
How would you do something like that?

Answer 1

I don’t think Ember Router is made for be used several times at the same time. Use one router should satisfy all your needs, but…

At this moment, the Router does not allow query-string parameters, but I suggest you to take a look at this issues:

• Router: URL parameters
• Add Query-String support to the Router (it will probably supersede the issue above)
