Ember.js - Hiding parent views in nested resources

I'm building a web video app that functions in a similar way to YouTube. My desired URL path is appname.com/video-title/video-id. I've represented it in this way:
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('videos', { path: '/:video_title' }, function(){
this.resource('video', { path: '/:video_id' });
});
});
The problem that I'm having is that the video-id url is also displaying the video-title template.
The video-title url should display search results of that video name and the video-id url should display the specific video and play it in a video player.
HTML:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="videos">
<ul>
{{#each video in model}}
<li>{{video.title}} by {{video.author}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
{{outlet}}
</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="videos">
<p>{{title}}</p>
</script>
Model:
var videos = [{
id: '1',
title: 'Skiing in Tahoe',
author: 'daniel'
},{
id: '2',
title: 'Exploring San Francisco',
author: 'nickmillerza'
}];
I'm new to Ember - perhaps I shouldn't use it for an app like this?

You can totally do this
App.VideoRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(params){
// return model
},
renderTemplate: function(controller) {
// render it into the videos outlet
this.render('videos', {controller: controller});
}
});

Ember RSVP Hash not updating controller content

I am trying to have handle multiple controllers at one route in Ember. This response seems like the way to go, but am having difficult getting this to work. Here is a simple example that fails to work:
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
myData = [1,2,3];
return Em.RSVP.hash({
docs1: myData,
docs2: myData
});
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set('model', model.docs1);
this.controllerFor('documents').set('model', model.docs2);
}
});
App.DocumentsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
count: function() {
return this.get('length');
}.property('#each'),
});
App.IndexController = Em.ArrayController.extend({
count: function() {
return this.get('length');
}.property('#each'),
});
And a JSBin showing the results:
http://jsbin.com/wavigada/1/edit
You can see that the IndexController reports the correct count of 3, but the DocumentsController doesn't get set.
Can anyone help me out?

You will need to include the documents controller whose content you populate in setupController in your IndexController via needs:
App.IndexController = Em.ArrayController.extend({
needs: ['documents'],
count: function() {
return this.get('length');
}.property('#each'),
});
Then you need to change your template to:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="index">
{{count}}
{{render 'documents' controllers.documents}}
</script>
Note that just putting {{render 'documents' controllers.documents}} (as you did in your question) refers to a documents property of your current model, which doesn't exists.

How can you filter a data-list to render into multiple outlets in emberjs

How can you filter a data-list to render into multiple outlets in emberjs.
What I have now in not really working, but may help you understand what I want to achieve.
I can solve this by making multiple file-list.hbs template-files ( where I change file in the each to fileList1 or fileList2, ...), but that doesn't seem right.
What I want to achieve
I have a documents page where I want to list all of the document in the file list (see fixtures file). But instead of printing out one files-list, I want to split the lists so I have multiple lists according to the filter.
Please look at the code to understand it better ^^
Can anyone help? :)
File.FIXTURES
App.File.FIXTURES = [
{
id: 1,
showHomepage: false,
filter: 'filter1',
url: '/file1.pdf',
description: 'file1'
},
{
id: 2,
showHomepage: false,
filter: 'filter2',
url: '/file2.pdf',
description: 'file2'
},
{
id: 3,
showHomepage: true,
filter: 'filter2',
url: '/file3.pdf',
description: 'file3'
},
{
id: 4,
showHomepage: true,
filter: 'filter3',
url: '/file4.pdf',
description: 'file4'
}
];
Route
App.InfoDocumentenRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
var store = this.store;
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
fileList1: store.find('file' , { filter: "filter1" }),
fileList2: store.find('file' , { filter: "filter2" }),
fileList3: store.find('file' , { filter: "filter3" })
});
},
renderTemplate: function() {
this.render('file-list', { // the template to render
into:'info.documenten', // the route to render into
outlet: 'file-list-filter1', // the name of the outlet in the route's template
controller: 'file' // the controller to use for the template
});
this.render('file-list', { // the template to render
into:'info.documenten', // the route to render into
outlet: 'file-list-filter2', // the name of the outlet in the route's template
controller: 'file' // the controller to use for the template
});
this.render('file-list', { // the template to render
into:'info.documenten', // the route to render into
outlet: 'file-list-filter3', // the name of the outlet in the route's template
controller: 'file' // the controller to use for the template
});
}
});
info/documents.hbs
{{ outlet file-list-filter1 }}
{{ outlet file-list-filter2 }}
{{ outlet file-list-filter3 }}
file-list.hbs
<ul class="download-list">
{{#each file in file}}
<li class="download-list__item">
<a {{bind-attr href=file.url}} target="_blank" class="download-list__link">
<i class="icon-download download-list__link__icon"></i>
{{file.description}}
</a>
</li>
{{else}}
<li>
Geen documenten beschikbaar.
</li>
{{/each}}

I think the best way to go about this would be to declare your file-list.hbs as a partial and include it within your other templates where needed as: {{partial "file-list"}}. In your showHomepage where you only want to use it a single time, merely include the {{partial "file-list"}} within your showHomepage.hbs.
Then, for your InfoDocumentRoute, put the following to declare your model as an array of filelists:
App.InfoDocumentenRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
var store = this.store;
return [
store.find('file' , { filter: "filter1" }),
store.find('file' , { filter: "filter2" }),
store.find('file' , { filter: "filter3" })
];
}
});
And your InfoDocument.hbs as:
{{#each file in model}}
{{partial "file-list"}}
{{/each}}
Which will then render the file-list template for each item in the model array.
More info about partials

So from what i gather about your question you want to filter your model on your filter property on the model. I am sure there are a few ways to accomplish this but here is another possible solution that could spark another solution.
So in the route I returned the models. Then in the controller I created properties that are filtering the array of models from the route. Then in the template I loop over the array that filter property gives me in the controller and output in the template.
Heres JSBin. http://emberjs.jsbin.com/vunugida/5/edit
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return this.store.findAll('File');
}
});
App.IndexController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
filter1: function() {
return this.filter(function(item) {
return item.get('filter') === "filter1";
});
}.property(),
filter2: function() {
return this.filter(function(item) {
return item.get('filter') === "filter2";
});
}.property(),
filter3: function() {
return this.filter(function(item){
return item.get('filter') === "filter3";
});
}.property()
});
TEMPLATE:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="index">
<h1>Index Template</h1>
<ul>
{{#each}}
<li>{{url}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
<p>Filter 1</p>
{{#each filter1}}
<li>{{url}}</li>
{{/each}}
<p>Filter 2</p>
{{#each filter2}}
<li>{{url}}</li>
{{/each}}
<p>Filter 3</p>
{{#each filter3}}
<li>{{url}}</li>
{{/each}}
</script>

Ember.js show hasMany data in template with one or more results

After endless trying I hope someone find the clue in what I am trying. I know there are many questions about this specific topic on stackoverflow. However I think I do not ask the same question. As I do not find the answer to my specific challenge.
Here is my Router:
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('article', {path: '/article/:id'});
this.resource('article.new', {path: "/article/new"});
});
Routes
App.ArticleRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function (params) {
return this.store.find('article', params.id);
}
});
App.ArticleNewRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
renderTemplate: function () {
this.render('article', {
controller: 'article.new'
});
},
model: function () {
return this.store.createRecord('article');
}
});
The model
App.Category = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
image: DS.attr('string'),
categoryRelation: DS.belongsTo('category')
});
App.Article = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
category: DS.hasMany('category')
)};
The returned JSON from server:
{
"articles":[
{
"id":1,
"name":"Car 1",
"category":[1,2],
{
"id":2,
"name":"Car 2",
"category":2,
],
"categorys":[ // note the added 's' when returning multiple items as per EmberJS convention
{
"id":1,
"name":"Oldtimers"
},
{
"id":2,
"name":"Classic"
}
],
}
And now the question, because I try in my template the following:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="article">
<div>
{{#each category in model}}
{{category.name}}<br>
{{name}}<br>
{{/each}}
</div>
</script>
I have tried multiple variations in the template, this is my last code which seems correct. Note: as for article with id 2, the template must also render if there is just one article.
Edit: I translated some code for you guys. If there are misspellings, they are probably not in the original code.

Your article template will receive just one article so this {{#each category in model}} don't work, you need to use {{#each category in model.category}}:
<div>
Article {{name}}<br/>
{{#each category in model.category}}
Category {{category.name}}<br/>
{{/each}}
</div>

Ember Data: preload relationships

What I'm trying to do is very basic but I'm having very little luck...
Simply enough, I don't want to display a chunk of HTML until a certain Ember Data model property is fully loaded.
As you can see from the jsfiddle, the parent model: App.Person gets loaded into the DOM and it also loads the 3 placeholders for its hasMany property belts.
It then executes the request to populate App.Belt and fills in the placeholders.
While this is usually ok, it makes a big mess of things when trying to build an SVG, for example. Since the surrounding <svg> tags will get appended to the DOM immediately and then some time down the track (once the asynchronous request returns data), the inner svg components will be added between the tags. This usually creates browser rendering errors.
TL;DR
In the example, how do I defer the <h3>...</h3> section of the template from being added to the DOM until the model data and its relationships (belts) are fully loaded? This way everything gets visually and physically added to the DOM at once.
The JS:
// Create Ember App
App = Ember.Application.create();
// Create Ember Data Store
App.store = DS.Store.create({
revision: 11,
//Exagerate latency to demonstrate problem with relationships being loaded sequentially.
adapter: DS.FixtureAdapter.create({latency: 5000})
});
// Create parent model with hasMany relationship
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr( 'string' ),
belts: DS.hasMany( 'App.Belt' )
});
// Create child model with belongsTo relationship
App.Belt = DS.Model.extend({
type: DS.attr( 'string' ),
parent: DS.belongsTo( 'App.Person' )
});
// Add Parent fixtures
App.Person.FIXTURES = [{
"id" : 1,
"name" : "Trevor",
"belts" : [1, 2, 3]
}];
// Add Child fixtures
App.Belt.FIXTURES = [{
"id" : 1,
"type" : "leather"
}, {
"id" : 2,
"type" : "rock"
}, {
"id" : 3,
"type" : "party-time"
}];
// Set route behaviour
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return App.Person.find();
},
renderTemplate: function() {
this.render('people');
}
});
The HTML/HBS:
<script type="text/x-handlebars">
<h1>Application</h1>
{{outlet}}
</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars" id="people">
<h3>Don't load this header until every belt defined in App.Person.belts is loaded</h3>
<ul>
{{#each controller}}
{{debugger}}
<li>Id: {{id}}</li>
<li>Name: {{name}}</li>
<li>Belt types:
<ul>
{{#each belts}}
<li>{{type}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</script>
The fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zfkNp/4/

Check for the controller.content.length and belts.isLoaded, See the jsfiddle for a solution.
<script type="text/x-handlebars" id="people">
{{#if controller.ready}}
<h3>Don't load this header until every belt defined in App.Person.belts is loaded</h3>
{{/if}}
<ul>
{{#each controller}}
{{debugger}}
{{#if belts.isLoaded}}
<li>Id: {{id}}</li>
<li>Name: {{name}}</li>
<li>Belt types:
<ul>
{{#each belts}}
<li>{{type}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</li>
{{/if}}
{{/each}}
</ul>
</script>
App.IndexController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
content: null,
ready:function() {
return this.get('content.length')>0
}.property('content.length')
});
