About

Ensure you clean up after your models.

Any routes you deactivate will check the

model

to ensure it is not unsaved. If it is it will either rollback or remove the model from the store depending if has been previously persisted.

Install

npm install ember-data-route --save-dev

Usage

Add the mixin to any route you want:

import Ember from 'ember';
import DataRoute from 'ember-data-route';

export default Ember.Route.extend(DataRoute, {
  ...
});

Transition Confirmation

By default when you transition out of the route the data model is rolled-back/removed automatically after the router is deactivated. However, you may want to detect if this is going to happen and alert the user of changes that will be lost. Typically you could use

window.confirm

to allow the user to decide to proceed or not. In the route you are mixing into you can provide your own

willTransitionConfirm

function to handle this. By default this function returns

true

and is passed the

transition

object as an argument for you to handle. One possible override could be:

export default Ember.Route.extend(DataRouteMixin, {
  willTransitionConfirm() {
    return window.confirm("You have unsaved changes that will be lost. Do you want to continue?");
  }
});

Configuring Which Model

Sometimes

model

isn't the place where your primary model is located, so setting

primaryModel

to something else would allow you to override that setting.

export default Ember.Route.extend(DataRouteMixin, {
  primaryModel: 'user'
});

This will look on

controller.user

, instead of

controller.model
