Get a hold of Ember Simple Auth session via container

Question

Following this SO answer, I'm trying to get the Ember Simple Auth session with container.lookup('simple-auth-session:main'); but this gives me undefined.

I'm using Ember Cli and the Ember Simple Auth Devise authenticator.

Answer 1

@marcoow's comment above worked like a charm. He pointed me to this example

FIRST: add an initializer registering the custom session

Ember.Application.initializer(
  name: 'authentication'
  before: 'simple-auth'
  initialize: (container, application) ->
    container.register('session:custom', App.CustomSession)
)

SECOND: replace the session with your custom session

window.ENV['simple-auth'] = {
  session: 'session:custom'
}

THIRD: define the custom session

App.CustomSession = SimpleAuth.Session.extends(
  currentUser: (->
    unless Ember.isEmpty(@user_id)
      @container.lookup('session:main').load('user', @user_id)
      //Note! I'm using Ember Persistence Foundation, therefore 'session:main', 
      //but if you're using Ember Data, use 'store:main'
  ).property('user_id')
)
