Refresh data on vue

This may have been asked but I have not be able to find a solution. I have a index page that loads a left nav vue. On that view is a typeahead input with names. When a name is selected a function is called and and a unique value is passed as the pmid_list
this.$router.push({ name: 'About', params: { pmid_list: item.PMID_Include } }
This works fine the first time because the About vue is loaded and the function is called with the pmid_list value. Every name works fine if I refresh the page between calls. If I don't refresh the correct pmid_list (parameter) is sent to the router but the router decides to send the old one if the vue component has not changed.
From what I have read it is a router issue but I can't figure out how to force it to refresh.
export default new Router({
mode: 'history',
routes: [
{
path: '/about/:pmid_list',
name: 'About',
component: About,
props: {default: true}
}

The About component is being cached.
One thing to note when using routes with params is that when the user navigates from /user/foo to /user/bar, the same component instance will be reused. Since both routes render the same component, this is more efficient than destroying the old instance and then creating a new one. However, this also means that the lifecycle hooks of the component will not be called.
Dynamic Route Matching
As shown in the documentation, you should use a watcher to react to parameter changes:
watch: {
'$route' (to, from) {
// react to route changes...
}
}

You can try to watch your route changes.
watch:{
'$route.params.pmid_list': function (pmid_list) {
//your logic here
}
},

EmberJS 2 route dynamic segment in not nested routes undefined

Really new to ember and trying to setup basic (in my mind) routes.
I have calendars resource and I want to display individual calendars.
My app/router.js has the following:
this.route('calendar', {path: 'calendars/:calendar_id'}, function () {
this.route('show');
this.route('edit');
});
this.route('calendars', function(){
this.route('create');
});
Folders are as following:
app/routes: [
calendars: [create, index],
calendar: [edit, show]
]
app/templates: [
calendars: [create, index]
calendar: [edit, show]
]
In app/routes/calendar/show.js:
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
return this.store.findRecord('calendar', params.calendar_id);
}
});
Problems start when I go to http://SERVER/calendars/5/show (5 is a :calendar_id part, SERVER is what hosts ember app) :
when I log params - they are undefined
In dev tools I see that Ember somehow makes a POST request to my server as http://SERVER/calendars/5
(a :calendar_id part, SERVER is on same domain and where my back-end resides).
This happens regardless if I comment out model() function in app/routes/calendar/show.js file.
Apparently Ember knows what calendar_id to use for that request.
But I don't know where that call to the server happens:
If I comment out model(){} altogether, my template renders model record (the calendar record that Ember fetches).
If I on the other hand try to log params in model() and I comment out this.store.findRecord part out, the params are undefined and it raises an error.
I thought at first that it is my DS.RESTAdapter since I have defined updateRecord changes to fake PUT request (my server does not allow that), but I commented out the whole file and it still does this query.
I've cleaned both dist/, tmp/, upgraded to 2.9.0, but it does the same thing.
I have no controllers defined
How does Ember make POST request if model() hook is missing from route, I have no controllers difined. Also how do I fix it so that it works? ;p
Edit [2]:
I am trying this now and I think it kinda works, but looks ugly:
this.route('calendars',{ path: '/calendars'}, function(){
this.route('create');
});
this.route('calendar', { path: '/' }, function () {
this.route('show', { path: '/calendars/:calendar_id/show' });
this.route('edit', { path: '/calendars/:calendar_id/edit' });
});
this.route('index', { path: ''});

Ember is smart enough to generate a default route if you do not create one, and a default model if you do not create a model function.
It does this based on the routes name ie if your route is "calendar" it generates a model function based on the "calendar" model.
Try explicitly define your route path with the parameters as per ember docs:
https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.9.0/routing/defining-your-routes/
this.route('calendar', function () {
this.route('show', { path: '/:calendar_id/show' });
this.route('edit', { path: '/:calendar_id/edit' });
this.route('create');
});

render into alternative layout in ember 2

When I try to render into a alternative layout from a route, I get a error saying the layout is not found. Uncaught Error: Assertion Failed: You attempted to render into 'popup' but it was not found
Is it not possible to render into a alternative layout? I want to render the view but without navigation.
If I render into application it works fine
My route looks like
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model(params) {
return this.store.find('information', params.information_id);
},
renderTemplate: function() {
this.render('informations/show', {
into: 'popup'
});
}
});

The routes nesting will define your layout. So don`t compose routes with models in mind.
If you want your navigation only on your application route, put them in the application.index route. if it is not clear what is rendered, turn on debugging.(https://guides.emberjs.com/v1.10.0/understanding-ember/debugging/).
PS: we call it "outlet"

Controller/route conventions for nested routes in ember

I have this resource with a nested route in my ember app:
router.js:
Router.map(function() {
this.resource('posts', function () {
this.route('show', {path: '/:id'});
});
});
What is the convention in ember for my controllers? Do I create a separate file for each URL, or does the show handler go in /controllers/posts.js? Or is there perhaps multiple correct ways of doing this?
This is what I have so far in /routes/posts.js:
import Ember from 'ember';
var PostsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return posts;
}
});
var posts = [
{
id: '1',
title: 'Object nr one',
content: 'This is the content of Object nr one.'
},
{
id: '2',
title: 'Obelix',
content: 'A fat gaul. From a comic book.'
},
{
id: '3',
title: 'Werner',
content: 'Wat soek werner hier? Dis mos nou belaglik man.'
}
];
export default PostsRoute;
And this is /controllers/posts.js:
import Ember from "ember";
export default Ember.ArrayController.extend({});
I would appreciate if someone showed me the correct way of doing things in this example.. I'm really struggling to find proper examples on the web.
Please note that I'm using ember CLI

"Show handler" never goes to controller file, it's rather a Route. You create separate route, controller, template for each of your resource or route directives. You can tell controller that it should have the same behaviour as other controller, or use a mixin. For example:
router.coffee:
#resource 'training', ->
#route 'chest'
#route 'shoulders'
Means you need following structure:
app/routes/training[your parent resource]/chest.js[your child route]
app/routes/training/shoulders.js
If you need controller for each of this routes you would need files with following paths:
app/controllers/training/chest.js
app/controllers/training/shoulders.js
And templates:
app/templates/training/chest.js
app/templates/training/shoulders.js
It's because I've defined training as resource(parent) and routes as its children.
If you use Ember CLI you can use commands like:
ember g controller training/shoulders
or:
ember g route training/shoulders
Last command will generate you: Route, template and entry in router.js. You can use this commands so you won't have worry too much about your directory structure.
However, it's important to remember that when you define resource inside a resource - child resource isn't really a child and it shouldn't be placed inside parent resource directory. For example:
#resource 'tracks', ->
#resource 'track', path: '/track/:track_id', ->
#route 'edit'
Means you need 2 directories to store route files:
app/routes/tracks/
index.js
app/routes/track/
edit.js
Instead of app/routes/tracks/track/edit.
So, in your example, for following router:
Router.map(function() {
this.resource('posts', function () {
this.route('show', {path: '/:id'});
});
});
app/routes should look like this:
app/routes:
- posts.js # main route for whole resource
- posts/ # directory which contains files for routes inside posts resource
- show.js # posts/show route

Ember.js Nested folder like route (contain slash)

I'm building an app with file manager like functionality with Ember.js. I'd like the URL for nested folder in the form of ".../#/files/Nested/Inside/" and it works fine with linkTo; however if I refresh (or go to the URL directly) I have the error message "No route match the URL '/files/Nested/Inside'". Is there any way to make Ember.js works in situation like this? Thanks.
Here is my current route setup:
FM.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('folders', { path: '/files' })
this.resource('folder', { path: '/files/:path' })
})
FM.FoldersRoute = EM.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return FM.Folder.find('/')
}
})
FM.FolderRoute = EM.Route.extend({
model: function(params) {
return ns.Folder.find(params.path)
},
serialize: function(folder) {
return { path: folder.get('path') }
}
})

Wow, interesting question. It should be possible but I've not tried it myself or seen any examples of this in the wild.
Under the hood, ember uses the tildeio router and route-recognizer to resolve routes. The route's readme explains how to define more elaborate routes like:
router.map(function(match) {
// this will match anything, followed by a slash,
// followed by a dynamic segment (one or more non-
// slash characters)
match("/*page/:location").to("showPage");
});
So to get nested folders working, you might be able to do something like this:
FM.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('folders', { path: '/files' })
this.resource('folder', { path: '/files/*path' })
})
Hope this helps.
