Question

In Ember.js, I’m creating a user object like so, populating it from a JSON API:

user = App.User.create({screenName: screenName});
$.ajax({
  ...
  success: function(data) {
    user.reopen(data);
  }
});
return user;

Here, user.reopen(data) mass-assigns the JSON response onto the user object.

But now observers are not triggered.

Is there a simple way to mass-update attributes while also triggering observers, without resorting to recursive looping?

Have you tried setProperties()?
