person.on('didLoad', function() {
  // fired once the person has loaded
});

An optional target can be passed in as the 2nd argument that will be set as the "this" for the callback. This is a good way to give your function access to the object triggering the event. When the target parameter is used the callback becomes the third argument.

Parameters:

name String
The name of the event
target Object
The "this" binding for the callback
method Function
The callback to execute

Returns:

this

one

(name, target, method)
Defined in packages/ember-runtime/lib/mixins/evented.js:68

Subscribes a function to a named event and then cancels the subscription after the first time the event is triggered. It is good to use one when you only care about the first time an event has taken place.

This function takes an optional 2nd argument that will become the "this" value for the callback. If this argument is passed then the 3rd argument becomes the function.

Parameters:

name String
The name of the event
target Object
The "this" binding for the callback
method Function
The callback to execute

Returns:

this

trigger

(name, args)
Defined in packages/ember-runtime/lib/mixins/evented.js:93
