Regarding A):
I assume you refer to the following route of your App. This model function returns an Array. Therefore Ember knows that it should use an ArrayController to render your UsersRoute.
App.UsersIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return App.User.find();
}
});
Regarding B): I have updated your code -> http://jsbin.com/ozilam/15/edit
I needed to update some of your names (controller and view) to match the naming conventions of Ember.
With Ember you do not have to use forms and manually read those values. Instead you create a new records, when you enter your Route:
App.UsersNewRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
setupController : function(controller){
controller.set("content", App.User.createRecord({}));
}
});
Inside your View you are binding on the properties of your record. As you see i also updated your button with an action helper.
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="users/new">
<div class="row">
<div class="six columns">
<h3>New User Information</h3>
<form>
<label>First Name</label>
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding='name_first'}}<br />
<label>Last Name</label>
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding='name_last'}}<br />
<label>Email Address</label>
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding='email_address'}}<br />
<label>SSN</label>
{{view Ember.TextField valueBinding='ssn'}}<br />
<button {{action create target="view"}} class="button">Create</button>
{{#linkTo users}}Cancel{{/linkTo}}
</form>
</div>
</div>
</script>
As those changes in the form get automatically propagated to your controller, you can just access the object in the controller:
App.UsersNewView = Ember.View.extend({
didInsertElement: function() {
this.$('input:first').focus();
},
create: function(){
console.log('view submitted');
var newUser = this.get("controller.content");
console.log(newUser.get("name_first"));
console.log(newUser.get("name_last"));
// HOW DO I PROCESS THIS FORM
}
});
Note: As i am writing this i am realizing that it would be probably better, if you would handle this event in your Controller instead of the View, since its an data modification task.
