I'm trying to fetch the current logged in user via my REST API and then set it as a property of the ApplicationController. This is how I'm trying to do it:
App.ApplicationController = Ember.Controller.extend({
init: function() {
this._super();
var self = this;
App.User.findCurrent().then(function(user) {
self.set('currentUser', user);
});
}
});
App.User = Ember.Object.extend({});
App.User.reopenClass({
findCurrent: function() {
return $.getJSON('/api/v1/users/current').then(
function(response) {
return response.user;
}
);
}
});
When I check the Chrome network tab, I see there's a call to the API and the JSON is returned, but when I try to access e.g. {{currentUser.name}}
in my application template (or a partial of it), it doesn't return the name. No errors are given as well.
But in the application template it doesn't return it.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Edit
When I create another controller, e.g. HelpController
and visit /help
, then {{currentUser.name}}
does return the username:
App.HelpController = Ember.Controller.extend({
needs: ['application'],
currentUser: Ember.computed.alias('controllers.application.currentUser')
});

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm actually trying to use {{currentUser.name}}
from a partial ({{partial 'sidebar'}}
), but that shouldn't change anything, because that's the same scope, right?

I noticed something very strange. When I call {{currentUser.name}}
in my application template (which is not what I want btw), then it also works in the {{partial 'sidebar'}}
.
