Ember: Get route instance from the controller

Question

I have a multi-step flow that the user can go through sequentially or jump straight to a section (if the sections in between are completed). I think this logic should be in the Route object. However, from within the controller, how do I access the route instance. For example, it would be ideal to be able to do something like this in the controller:

App.Flow = Em.ObjectController.extend({   submit: function(){     // Validation and XHR requests     // ...      // Go to the next step     route.goToNextStep();   } } 

Answer 1

From within a controller, you can access the router via this.get('target'). So this.get('target').send('goToNextStep') should work.

Like so:

App.Flow = Em.ObjectController.extend({   submit: function(){     // ...     this.get('target').send('gotoNextStep');   } }  App.FlowRoute = Ember.Route.extend({   events: {     gotoNextStep: function(){       // ...       this.transitionTo(routeName);     }   } }
