I'm sure this will become clear as I dig in deeper, but for now it's not obvious how to make this happen.
I was following the info on this helpful SO article about routing but there is an important piece missing from the example, i.e. how do you get the 'home' view to render right away without having to click the 'home' link?
I've started digging into the docs to try to make sense of this, but meanwhile it seems like a useful question to have answered for posterity.
I've been playing with the working jsfiddle example from the above question here and comparing with this other example I found that seems to have the default routing working
So far it's still a mystery.
Current code:
App.Router = Em.Router.extend({
enableLogging: true,
location: 'hash',
root: Em.State.extend({
// EVENTS
goHome: Ember.State.transitionTo('home'),
viewProfile: Ember.State.transitionTo('profile'),
// STATES
index: Em.State.extend({
route: "/",
redirectsTo: 'home'
}),
home: Em.State.extend({
route: '/home',
connectOutlets: function(router, context) {
var appController = router.get('applicationController');
appController.connectOutlet('home');
}
}),
// STATES
profile: Em.State.extend({
route: '/profile',
connectOutlets: function(router, context) {
var appController = router.get('applicationController');
appController.connectOutlet('profile');
}
}),
doOne: function() {
alert("eins");
}
})
});
UPDATE: Solution
It turns out that the reason the example I was working with was not working was because it was using Em.State.extend
rather than Em.Route.extend
. The interesting part is that as I step through and change them over one by one the example doesn't work until I change all of them over.
Here is the working example:
App.Router = Em.Router.extend({
enableLogging: true,
location: 'hash',
root: Em.Route.extend({
// EVENTS
goHome: Ember.State.transitionTo('home'),
viewProfile: Ember.State.transitionTo('profile'),
// STATES
index: Em.Route.extend({
route: "/",
redirectsTo: 'home'
}),
home: Em.Route.extend({
route: '/home',
connectOutlets: function(router, context) {
var appController = router.get('applicationController');
appController.connectOutlet({name: 'home'});
}
}),
// STATES
profile: Em.Route.extend({
route: '/profile',
connectOutlets: function(router, context) {
var appController = router.get('applicationController');
appController.connectOutlet('profile');
}
}),
doOne: function() {
alert("eins");
}
})
});
