i'm trying to migrate to the new Router in Ember. the use case is this: user is not logged in but requests a URL that requires login. he is redirected to a login route, after successful login he is redirected to his original destination.
i achieved this with the prior Router by overriding Router.route(path) and intercepting path requests when the app was in unauthorized state.
the new Router doesn't have a route() function, also, i don't know how to override it now that the Router instance is created automatically by Ember. i probably shouldn't do that anyway.
there is a Route.redirect() hook that looks useful. however, Route no longer extends Path in the v2 Router, so there is no Root.path, and no path information is passed into Route.redirect(), so i don't know how to save the path info for calling transitionTo() later.
i've supplied my general approach below. how can i accomplish this? it seems like a very common use case for many application.
// i imagine something like this should happen
App.AuthRequiredRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
redirect: function() {
if(!App.controllerFor('login').get('isLoggedIn')) {
var pathToSave = ????
App.controllerFor('login').set('pathAfterLogin',pathToSave);
this.transitionTo('login');
}
}
}
// and then after login, the LoginController would call App.router.transitionTo(this.pathAfterLogin)
