Question

When I use a dynamic segment in the Ember.Router then will ember automatically identify the Model, call find(index) on it, and set the result to the content of the controller. Is this correct?

If Yes, how is the Model identified? By the name that I’ve given in the “connectOutlet” function?

Is there something like this for routes without an dynamic Part? If Not, why are is the View and the Controller auto-generated and binded, and the Model not?

Answer 1

Model type is provided to the Ember.Route through the modelType attribute:

Ember.Route.extend({
    route: '/:stuff_id',
    modelType: 'App.Stuff',

    connectOutlets: function(router, stuff) {
        ... // work with Stuff instance 'stuff' here
    }
}
