Ember.ArrayController Class packages/ember-runtime/lib/controllers/array_controller.js:13

Adds an array observer to the receiving array. The array observer object normally must implement two methods:

• arrayWillChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just before the array is modified.
• arrayDidChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just after the array is modified.

Both callbacks will be passed the observed object, starting index of the change as well a a count of the items to be removed and added. You can use these callbacks to optionally inspect the array during the change, clear caches, or do any other bookkeeping necessary.

In addition to passing a target, you can also include an options hash which you can use to override the method names that will be invoked on the target.

Registers an enumerable observer. Must implement Ember.EnumerableObserver mixin.

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

Attempts to add the passed object to the receiver if the object is not already present in the collection. If the object is present, this method has no effect.

If the passed object is of a type not supported by the receiver, then this method should raise an exception.

Adds each object in the passed enumerable to the receiver.

Adds an observer on a property.

This is the core method used to register an observer for a property.

Once you call this method, any time the key's value is set, your observer will be notified. Note that the observers are triggered any time the value is set, regardless of whether it has actually changed. Your observer should be prepared to handle that.

You can also pass an optional context parameter to this method. The context will be passed to your observer method whenever it is triggered. Note that if you add the same target/method pair on a key multiple times with different context parameters, your observer will only be called once with the last context you passed.

Observer Methods

Observer methods you pass should generally have the following signature if you do not pass a context parameter:

1

fooDidChange: function(sender, key, value, rev) { };

The sender is the object that changed. The key is the property that changes. The value property is currently reserved and unused. The rev is the last property revision of the object when it changed, which you can use to detect if the key value has really changed or not.

If you pass a context parameter, the context will be passed before the revision like so:

1

fooDidChange: function(sender, key, value, context, rev) { };

Usually you will not need the value, context or revision parameters at the end. In this case, it is common to write observer methods that take only a sender and key value as parameters or, if you aren't interested in any of these values, to write an observer that has no parameters at all.

Returns true if the passed function returns true for any item in the enumeration. This corresponds with the some() method in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Usage Example:

1

if (people.any(isManager)) { Paychecks.addBiggerBonus(); }

Returns true if the passed property resolves to true for any item in the enumerable. This method is often simpler/faster than using a callback.

If you are implementing an object that supports Ember.Array, call this method just after the array content changes to notify any observers and invalidate any related properties. Pass the starting index of the change as well as a delta of the amounts to change.

If you are implementing an object that supports Ember.Array, call this method just before the array content changes to notify any observers and invalidate any related properties. Pass the starting index of the change as well as a delta of the amounts to change.

Begins a grouping of property changes.

You can use this method to group property changes so that notifications will not be sent until the changes are finished. If you plan to make a large number of changes to an object at one time, you should call this method at the beginning of the changes to begin deferring change notifications. When you are done making changes, call endPropertyChanges() to deliver the deferred change notifications and end deferring.

Returns the cached value of a computed property, if it exists. This allows you to inspect the value of a computed property without accidentally invoking it if it is intended to be generated lazily.

Returns a new child of the current container. These children are configured to correctly inherit from the current container.

Remove all elements from self. This is useful if you want to reuse an existing array without having to recreate it.

1

4

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
color.length();   //  3
colors.clear();   //  []
colors.length();  //  0

Returns a copy of the array with all null and undefined elements removed.

1
2

var arr = ["a", null, "c", undefined];
arr.compact();  // ["a", "c"]

Returns true if the passed object can be found in the receiver. The default version will iterate through the enumerable until the object is found. You may want to override this with a more efficient version.

1

3

var arr = ["a", "b", "c"];
arr.contains("a"); // true
arr.contains("z"); // false

Creates an instance of a class. Accepts either no arguments, or an object containing values to initialize the newly instantiated object with.

App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  helloWorld: function() {
    alert("Hi, my name is " + this.get('name'));
  }
});

var tom = App.Person.create({
  name: 'Tom Dale'
});

tom.helloWorld(); // alerts "Hi, my name is Tom Dale".

create will call the init function if defined during Ember.AnyObject.extend

If no arguments are passed to create, it will not set values to the new instance during initialization:

1
2

var noName = App.Person.create();
noName.helloWorld(); // alerts undefined

NOTE: For performance reasons, you cannot declare methods or computed properties during create. You should instead declare methods and computed properties when using extend or use the createWithMixins shorthand.

Equivalent to doing extend(arguments).create(). If possible use the normal create method instead.

Set the value of a property to the current value minus some amount.

1
2

player.decrementProperty('lives');
orc.decrementProperty('health', 5);

A hook that can be used to describe how the resolver will attempt to find the factory.

For example, the default Ember .describe returns the full class name (including namespace) where Ember's resolver expects to find the fullName.

Iterate over each computed property for the class, passing its name and any associated metadata (see metaForProperty) to the callback.

Iterate and invoke a callback for each local key-value pair.

Ends a grouping of property changes.

You can use this method to group property changes so that notifications will not be sent until the changes are finished. If you plan to make a large number of changes to an object at one time, you should call beginPropertyChanges() at the beginning of the changes to defer change notifications. When you are done making changes, call this method to deliver the deferred change notifications and end deferring.

Invoke this method when the contents of your enumerable has changed. This will notify any observers watching for content changes. If your are implementing an ordered enumerable (such as an array), also pass the start and end values where the content changed so that it can be used to notify range observers.

Invoke this method just before the contents of your enumerable will change. You can either omit the parameters completely or pass the objects to be removed or added if available or just a count.

Returns true if the passed function returns true for every item in the enumeration. This corresponds with the every() method in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true or false.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Example Usage:

1

if (people.every(isEngineer)) { Paychecks.addBigBonus(); }

Returns true if the passed property resolves to true for all items in the enumerable. This method is often simpler/faster than using a callback.

Creates a new subclass.

App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  say: function(thing) {
    alert(thing);
   }
});

This defines a new subclass of Ember.Object: App.Person. It contains one method: say().

You can also create a subclass from any existing class by calling its extend() method. For example, you might want to create a subclass of Ember's built-in Ember.View class:

1
2
3
4

App.PersonView = Ember.View.extend({
  tagName: 'li',
  classNameBindings: ['isAdministrator']
});

When defining a subclass, you can override methods but still access the implementation of your parent class by calling the special _super() method:

App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  say: function(thing) {
    var name = this.get('name');
    alert(name + ' says: ' + thing);
  }
});

App.Soldier = App.Person.extend({
  say: function(thing) {
    this._super(thing + ", sir!");
  },
  march: function(numberOfHours) {
    alert(this.get('name') + ' marches for ' + numberOfHours + ' hours.')
  }
});

var yehuda = App.Soldier.create({
  name: "Yehuda Katz"
});

yehuda.say("Yes");  // alerts "Yehuda Katz says: Yes, sir!"

The create() on line #17 creates an instance of the App.Soldier class. The extend() on line #8 creates a subclass of App.Person. Any instance of the App.Person class will not have the march() method.

You can also pass Ember.Mixin classes to add additional properties to the subclass.

App.SingingMixin = Ember.Mixin.create({

    alert(this.get('name') + ' sings: la la la ' + thing);
  }
});

App.BroadwayStar = App.Person.extend(App.SingingMixin, {
  dance: function() {
    alert(this.get('name') + ' dances: tap tap tap tap ');
  }
});

The App.BroadwayStar class contains three methods: say(), sing(), and dance().

Defines factory injection rules.

Similar to regular injection rules, but are run against factories, via Container#lookupFactory.

These rules are used to inject objects onto factories when they are looked up.

Two forms of injections are possible:

1

  * Injecting one fullName on another fullName
  * Injecting one fullName on a type

var container = new Container();

container.register('store:main', Store);
container.register('store:secondary', OtherStore);
container.register('model:user', User);
container.register('model:post', Post);

// injecting one fullName on another type
container.factoryInjection('model', 'store', 'store:main');

// injecting one fullName on another fullName
container.factoryInjection('model:post', 'secondaryStore', 'store:secondary');

var UserFactory = container.lookupFactory('model:user');
var PostFactory = container.lookupFactory('model:post');
var store = container.lookup('store:main');

UserFactory.store instanceof Store; //=> true
UserFactory.secondaryStore instanceof OtherStore; //=> false

PostFactory.store instanceof Store; //=> true
PostFactory.secondaryStore instanceof OtherStore; //=> true

// and both models share the same source instance
UserFactory.store === PostFactory.store; //=> true

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration that the passed function returns true for. This method corresponds to filter() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns an array with just the items with the matched property. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

Returns the first item in the array for which the callback returns true. This method works similar to the filter() method defined in JavaScript 1.6 except that it will stop working on the array once a match is found.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

It should return the true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns the first item with a property matching the passed value. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

This method works much like the more generic find() method.

Iterates through the enumerable, calling the passed function on each item. This method corresponds to the forEach() method defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Alias for mapBy

To get multiple properties at once, call getProperties with a list of strings or an array:

1

record.getProperties('firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode');  // { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }

is equivalent to:

1

record.getProperties(['firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode']);  // { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }

Retrieves the value of a property, or a default value in the case that the property returns undefined.

1

person.getWithDefault('lastName', 'Doe');

Given a fullName check if the container is aware of its factory or singleton instance.

Returns true if the object currently has observers registered for a particular key. You can use this method to potentially defer performing an expensive action until someone begins observing a particular property on the object.

Set the value of a property to the current value plus some amount.

1
2

person.incrementProperty('age');
team.incrementProperty('score', 2);

Returns the index of the given object's first occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the starting location to search is 0. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

var arr = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "a"];
arr.indexOf("a");       //  0

arr.indexOf("a", 2);    //  4
arr.indexOf("a", -1);   //  4
arr.indexOf("b", 3);    // -1
arr.indexOf("a", 100);  // -1

An overridable method called when objects are instantiated. By default, does nothing unless it is overridden during class definition.

App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  init: function() {
    alert('Name is ' + this.get('name'));
  }
});

var steve = App.Person.create({
  name: "Steve"
});

// alerts 'Name is Steve'.

NOTE: If you do override init for a framework class like Ember.View or Ember.ArrayController, be sure to call this._super() in your init declaration! If you don't, Ember may not have an opportunity to do important setup work, and you'll see strange behavior in your application.

Defines injection rules.

These rules are used to inject dependencies onto objects when they are instantiated.

var container = new Container();

container.register('source:main', Source);
container.register('model:user', User);
container.register('model:post', Post);

// injecting one fullName on another fullName
// eg. each user model gets a post model
container.injection('model:user', 'post', 'model:post');

// injecting one fullName on another type
container.injection('model', 'source', 'source:main');

var user = container.lookup('model:user');
var post = container.lookup('model:post');

user.source instanceof Source; //=> true
post.source instanceof Source; //=> true

user.post instanceof Post; //=> true

// and both models share the same source
user.source === post.source; //=> true

This will use the primitive replace() method to insert an object at the specified index.

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
colors.insertAt(2, "yellow");  // ["red", "green", "yellow", "blue"]
colors.insertAt(5, "orange");  // Error: Index out of range

Invokes the named method on every object in the receiver that implements it. This method corresponds to the implementation in Prototype 1.6.

Returns the index of the given object's last occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the search starts from the last position. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

arr.lastIndexOf("a", -1);   //  4
arr.lastIndexOf("b", 3);    //  1
arr.lastIndexOf("a", 100);  //  4

Given a fullName return a corresponding instance.

The default behaviour is for lookup to return a singleton instance. The singleton is scoped to the container, allowing multiple containers to all have their own locally scoped singletons.

twitter instanceof Twitter; // => true

// by default the container will return singletons
twitter2 = container.lookup('api:twitter');
twitter instanceof Twitter; // => true

If singletons are not wanted an optional flag can be provided at lookup.

Given a fullName return the corresponding factory.

Maps all of the items in the enumeration to another value, returning a new array. This method corresponds to map() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the mapped value.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Similar to map, this specialized function returns the value of the named property on all items in the enumeration.

In some cases, you may want to annotate computed properties with additional metadata about how they function or what values they operate on. For example, computed property functions may close over variables that are then no longer available for introspection.

You can pass a hash of these values to a computed property like this:

1
2
3
4

person: function() {
  var personId = this.get('personId');
  return App.Person.create({ id: personId });
}.property().meta({ type: App.Person })

Once you've done this, you can retrieve the values saved to the computed property from your class like this:

1

MyClass.metaForProperty('person');

This will return the original hash that was passed to meta().

Implement this method to make your class enumerable.

This method will be call repeatedly during enumeration. The index value will always begin with 0 and increment monotonically. You don't have to rely on the index value to determine what object to return, but you should always check the value and start from the beginning when you see the requested index is 0.

The previousObject is the object that was returned from the last call to nextObject for the current iteration. This is a useful way to manage iteration if you are tracing a linked list, for example.

Finally the context parameter will always contain a hash you can use as a "scratchpad" to maintain any other state you need in order to iterate properly. The context object is reused and is not reset between iterations so make sure you setup the context with a fresh state whenever the index parameter is 0.

Generally iterators will continue to call nextObject until the index reaches the your current length-1. If you run out of data before this time for some reason, you should simply return undefined.

The default implementation of this method simply looks up the index. This works great on any Array-like objects.

A hook to enable custom fullName normalization behaviour

Convenience method to call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange in succession.

Returns the object at the given index. If the given index is negative or is greater or equal than the array length, returns undefined.

This is one of the primitives you must implement to support Ember.Array. If your object supports retrieving the value of an array item using get() (i.e. myArray.get(0)), then you do not need to implement this method yourself.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arr.objectAt(0);   // "a"
arr.objectAt(3);   // "d"
arr.objectAt(-1);  // undefined
arr.objectAt(4);   // undefined
arr.objectAt(5);   // undefined

Should actually retrieve the object at the specified index from the content. You can override this method in subclasses to transform the content item to something new.

This method will only be called if content is non-null.

This returns the objects at the specified indexes, using objectAt.

1
2
3

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arr.objectsAt([0, 1, 2]);  // ["a", "b", "c"]
arr.objectsAt([2, 3, 4]);  // ["c", "d", undefined]

Notify the observer system that a property has just changed.

Sometimes you need to change a value directly or indirectly without actually calling get() or set() on it. In this case, you can use this method and propertyWillChange() instead. Calling these two methods together will notify all observers that the property has potentially changed value.

Note that you must always call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange as a pair. If you do not, it may get the property change groups out of order and cause notifications to be delivered more often than you would like.

This will combine the values of the enumerator into a single value. It is a useful way to collect a summary value from an enumeration. This corresponds to the reduce() method defined in JavaScript 1.8.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

function(previousValue, item, index, enumerable);

• previousValue is the value returned by the last call to the iterator.
• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

Return the new cumulative value.

In addition to the callback you can also pass an initialValue. An error will be raised if you do not pass an initial value and the enumerator is empty.

Note that unlike the other methods, this method does not allow you to pass a target object to set as this for the callback. It's part of the spec. Sorry.

Registers a factory for later injection.

Example:

var container = new Container();

container.register('model:user', Person, {singleton: false });
container.register('fruit:favorite', Orange);
container.register('communication:main', Email, {singleton: false});

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration where the passed function returns false for. This method is the inverse of filter().

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

1

  function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the a falsey value to include the item in the results.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as "this" on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns an array with the items that do not have truthy values for key. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to false.

Delete the given key

Removes an array observer from the object if the observer is current registered. Calling this method multiple times with the same object will have no effect.

Remove an object at the specified index using the replace() primitive method. You can pass either a single index, or a start and a length.

If you pass a start and length that is beyond the length this method will throw an OUT_OF_RANGE_EXCEPTION

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "orange"];
colors.removeAt(0);     // ["green", "blue", "yellow", "orange"]
colors.removeAt(2, 2);  // ["green", "blue"]
colors.removeAt(4, 2);  // Error: Index out of range

Removes a registered enumerable observer.

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

Attempts to remove the passed object from the receiver collection if the object is present in the collection. If the object is not present, this method has no effect.

If the passed object is of a type not supported by the receiver, then this method should raise an exception.

Removes each object in the passed enumerable from the receiver.

Remove an observer you have previously registered on this object. Pass the same key, target, and method you passed to addObserver() and your target will no longer receive notifications.

Augments a constructor's prototype with additional properties and functions: javascript MyObject = Ember.Object.extend({ name: 'an object' }); o = MyObject.create(); o.get('name'); // 'an object' MyObject.reopen({ say: function(msg){ console.log(msg); } }) o2 = MyObject.create(); o2.say("hello"); // logs "hello" o.say("goodbye"); // logs "goodbye" To add functions and properties to the constructor itself, see reopenClass

Augments a constructor's own properties and functions:

MyObject = Ember.Object.extend({
  name: 'an object'
});


MyObject.reopenClass({
  canBuild: false
});

MyObject.canBuild; // false
o = MyObject.create();

In other words, this creates static properties and functions for the class. These are only available on the class and not on any instance of that class.

App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  name : "",
  sayHello : function(){
    alert("Hello. My name is " + this.get('name'));
  }
});

App.Person.reopenClass({
  species : "Homo sapiens",
  createPerson: function(newPersonsName){
    return App.Person.create({
      name:newPersonsName
    });
  }
});

var tom = App.Person.create({
  name : "Tom Dale"
});
var yehuda = App.Person.createPerson("Yehuda Katz");

tom.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Tom Dale"
yehuda.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Yehuda Katz"
alert(App.Person.species); // "Homo sapiens"

Note that species and createPerson are not valid on the tom and yehuda variables. They are only valid on App.Person.

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

This is one of the primitives you must implement to support Ember.Array. You should replace amt objects started at idx with the objects in the passed array. You should also call this.enumerableContentDidChange()

Should actually replace the specified objects on the content array. You can override this method in subclasses to transform the content item into something new.

This method will only be called if content is non-null.

Transition into another route while replacing the current URL, if possible. This will replace the current history entry instead of adding a new one. Beside that, it is identical to transitionToRoute in all other respects.

1
2

  aController.replaceRoute('blogPosts');
  aController.replaceRoute('blogPosts.recentEntries');

Optionally supply a model for the route in question. The model will be serialized into the URL using the serialize hook of the route:

1

  aController.replaceRoute('blogPost', aPost);

Multiple models will be applied last to first recursively up the resource tree.

  this.resource('blogPost', {path:':blogPostId'}, function(){
    this.resource('blogComment', {path: ':blogCommentId'});
  });

  aController.replaceRoute('blogComment', aPost, aComment);

Given a fullName return the corresponding factory.

By default resolve will retrieve the factory from its container's registry.

4

var container = new Container();
container.register('api:twitter', Twitter);

container.resolve('api:twitter') // => Twitter

Optionally the container can be provided with a custom resolver. If provided, resolve will first provide the custom resolver the oppertunity to resolve the fullName, otherwise it will fallback to the registry.

var container = new Container();
container.resolver = function(fullName) {
  // lookup via the module system of choice
};

// the twitter factory is added to the module system
container.resolve('api:twitter') // => Twitter

Reverse objects in the array. Works just like reverse() but it is KVO-compliant.

Sets the value on the named property for each member. This is more efficient than using other methods defined on this helper. If the object implements Ember.Observable, the value will be changed to set(), otherwise it will be set directly. null objects are skipped.

Replace all the the receiver's content with content of the argument. If argument is an empty array receiver will be cleared.

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
colors.setObjects(["black", "white"]);  // ["black", "white"]
colors.setObjects([]);                  // []

To set multiple properties at once, call setProperties with a Hash:

1

record.setProperties({ firstName: 'Charles', lastName: 'Jolley' });

Shift an object from start of array or nil if none are left. Works just like shift() but it is KVO-compliant.

1

3

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
colors.shiftObject();  // "red"
console.log(colors);   // ["green", "blue"]

Returns a new array that is a slice of the receiver. This implementation uses the observable array methods to retrieve the objects for the new slice.

var arr = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];
arr.slice(0);       // ['red', 'green', 'blue']
arr.slice(0, 2);    // ['red', 'green']
arr.slice(1, 100);  // ['green', 'blue']

Converts the enumerable into an array and sorts by the keys specified in the argument.

You may provide multiple arguments to sort by multiple properties.

Simply converts the enumerable into a genuine array. The order is not guaranteed. Corresponds to the method implemented by Prototype.

Returns a string representation which attempts to provide more information than Javascript's toString typically does, in a generic way for all Ember objects.

1

3

App.Person = Em.Object.extend()
person = App.Person.create()
person.toString() //=> "<App.Person:ember1024>"

If the object's class is not defined on an Ember namespace, it will indicate it is a subclass of the registered superclass:

1
2
3

Student = App.Person.extend()
student = Student.create()
student.toString() //=> "<(subclass of App.Person):ember1025>"

If the method toStringExtension is defined, its return value will be included in the output.

App.Teacher = App.Person.extend({
  toStringExtension: function() {

  }
});
teacher = App.Teacher.create()
teacher.toString(); //=> "<App.Teacher:ember1026:Tom Dale>"

Set the value of a boolean property to the opposite of it's current value.

starship.toggleProperty('warpDriveEngaged');

Transition the application into another route. The route may be either a single route or route path:

1
2

  aController.transitionToRoute('blogPosts');
  aController.transitionToRoute('blogPosts.recentEntries');

Optionally supply a model for the route in question. The model will be serialized into the URL using the serialize hook of the route:

1

  aController.transitionToRoute('blogPost', aPost);

Multiple models will be applied last to first recursively up the resource tree.

See also 'replaceRoute'.

Returns a new enumerable that contains only unique values. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type.

var arr = ["a", "a", "b", "b"];
arr.uniq();  // ["a", "b"]

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
colors.unshiftObject("yellow");             // ["yellow", "red", "green", "blue"]
colors.unshiftObject(["black", "white"]);   // [["black", "white"], "yellow", "red", "green", "blue"]

Adds the named objects to the beginning of the array. Defers notifying observers until all objects have been added.

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
colors.unshiftObjects(["black", "white"]);   // ["black", "white", "red", "green", "blue"]
colors.unshiftObjects("yellow");             // Type Error: 'undefined' is not a function

Override to implement teardown.

Returns a new enumerable that excludes the passed value. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type unless the receiver does not contain the value.

var arr = ["a", "b", "a", "c"];
arr.without("a");  // ["b", "c"]
