Modifying Attributes

Once a record has been loaded, you can begin making changes to its attributes. Attributes behave just like normal properties in Ember.js objects. Making changes is as simple as setting the attribute you want to change:

1
2
3

var tyrion = this.store.find('person', 1);
// ...after the record has loaded
tyrion.set('firstName', "Yollo");

All of the Ember.js conveniences are available for modifying attributes. For example, you can use Ember.Object's incrementProperty helper:

1

person.incrementProperty('age'); // Happy birthday!

You can tell if a record has outstanding changes that have not yet been saved by checking its isDirty property.

1
2
3
4
5

person.get('isDirty'); //=> false

person.set('isAdmin', true);

person.get('isDirty'); //=> true
