Setting a controller property on application controller after application ready

Question

I am trying to set my main application view headline to the current company name. Which I need to fetch via ajax "/company.json".

In my ApplicationController I have a "companyName" property and a method called "loadCompanyName" that will fetch the companyName. The question is, How do I reference this instanced controller from the Application ready function.

With the new one you should prefer to do it in the the App.ready() function.

Usuallly I would do it in the setupController() function of the ApplicationRoute:

App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  setupController: function(controller, model){
    controller.loadCompanyName();
    this._super(controller, model);
  }
});
