Ember Controller lifecycle hooks

Question

I know there is an init hook but it seems that the view it not setup properly at that stage. I need to hook into the event once the screen is setup properly from the controller.

Where is the documentation on all the controller and route lifecylce hooks. I found the ones for the View only:

didInsertElement 
parentViewDidChange 
willClearRender 
willDestroyElement 
willInsertElement

Answer 1

In ember controllers lifecycle is not very clearly defined as the controller does not serve much purpose other than making the variables available to the template.

Controller has few hooks 2 of them are

1. init - initialise with default values, its called only once.
2. willDestroy - hook for any view teardown

Router hooks can be of two types when you enter in the route and when you leave it.
