In Ember.js i know I can using the Ember.ArrayController
to access a specific collection of data, like the example from the ember website:
MyApp.listController = Ember.ArrayController.create();
$.get('people.json', function(data) {
MyApp.listController.set('model', data);
});
and access it in handlebars like this:
{{#each person in MyApp.listController}}
{{person.firstName}} {{person.lastName}}
{{/each}}
Although, what I want to do is access the this in javascript? More specifically in Discourse, getting the badges for a user. The user-badges.js.es6
controller:
export default Ember.ArrayController.extend({
sortProperties: ['badge.badge_type.sort_order', 'badge.name'],
orderBy: function(ub1, ub2){
var sr1 = ub1.get('badge.badge_type.sort_order');
var sr2 = ub2.get('badge.badge_type.sort_order');
if(sr1 > sr2) {
return -1;
}
if(sr2 > sr1) {
return 1;
}
return ub1.get('badge.name') < ub2.get('badge.name') ? -1 : 1;
}
});
How can I get this list of badges for a user? Calling the Discourse.UsersBadges ArrayController does not seem to work.
import UserBadges from 'discourse/controllers/user-badges';
for(var badge in UserBadges){
console.log(badge);
}
I'm not sure if I'm running into a problem understanding how EmberJS is suppose to work or how Discourse has been designed to work.
I found that I was approaching the problem the wrong way and that I should use a promise to get the user badge like this:
Discourse.UserBadge.findByUsername(Discourse.User.current().username).then(function(result) {
result.forEach(function(entry) {
console.log(entry.badge.name);
}
);
});
Although, now I have a new problem in which I need to load this information prior to the view loading. The promise does it asynchronously which will not load the data in time.
