Ember.js: how to save a model

Question

From the ember docs its clear you should be able to save a dirty model

var m = App.MyModel.find(10) ;
...
m.set("firstName", "John") ;
m.get("isDirty") ; // --> true

Now, I don't know how to save, things like

m.save() ;
App.MyModel.save(m) ;
//etc

do not work. Any suggestions ?

The accepted answer is no longer valid since the release of Ember Data 1.0 (beta at the time of writing). Saving is much easier and more intuitive with Ember Data (1.0).

var person = this.store.createRecord('person');
person.set('frist_name', 'John');
person.set('last_name', 'Doe');
person.save();

It is also good to know that a save call returns a promise, which is resolved when the server returns a response.

person.save().then(function() {
  // SUCCESS
}, function() {
  // FAILURE
});
