Ember.ArrayProxy (public)

Extends: Ember.Object
Uses: Ember.MutableArray
Defined in: packages/ember-runtime/lib/system/array_proxy.js:34
Module: ember

addArrayObserver (target, opts) Ember.Array public

target
Object
The observer object.
opts
Object
Optional hash of configuration options including `willChange` and `didChange` option.
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Adds an array observer to the receiving array. The array observer object normally must implement two methods:

  • arrayWillChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just before the array is modified.
  • arrayDidChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just after the array is modified.

Both callbacks will be passed the observed object, starting index of the change as well as a count of the items to be removed and added. You can use these callbacks to optionally inspect the array during the change, clear caches, or do any other bookkeeping necessary.

In addition to passing a target, you can also include an options hash which you can use to override the method names that will be invoked on the target.

addObject (object) Object public

object
Object
The object to add to the enumerable.
returns
Object
the passed object

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

Attempts to add the passed object to the receiver if the object is not already present in the collection. If the object is present, this method has no effect.

If the passed object is of a type not supported by the receiver, then this method should raise an exception.

addObjects (objects) Object public

objects
Ember.Enumerable
the objects to add.
returns
Object
receiver

Adds each object in the passed enumerable to the receiver.

addObserver (key, target, method) public

key
String
The key to observe
target
Object
The target object to invoke
method
String|Function
The method to invoke

Adds an observer on a property.

This is the core method used to register an observer for a property.

Once you call this method, any time the key's value is set, your observer will be notified. Note that the observers are triggered any time the value is set, regardless of whether it has actually changed. Your observer should be prepared to handle that.

Observer Methods

Observer methods have the following signature:

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  init() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    this.addObserver('foo', this, 'fooDidChange');
  },

  fooDidChange(sender, key, value, rev) {
    // your code
  }
});

The sender is the object that changed. The key is the property that changes. The value property is currently reserved and unused. The rev is the last property revision of the object when it changed, which you can use to detect if the key value has really changed or not.

Usually you will not need the value or revision parameters at the end. In this case, it is common to write observer methods that take only a sender and key value as parameters or, if you aren't interested in any of these values, to write an observer that has no parameters at all.

any (callback, target) Boolean public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Boolean
`true` if the passed function returns `true` for any item

Returns true if the passed function returns true for any item in the enumeration.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Usage Example:

if (people.any(isManager)) {
  Paychecks.addBiggerBonus();
}

arrayContentDidChange (startIdx, removeAmt, addAmt) Ember.Array public

startIdx
Number
The starting index in the array that did change.
removeAmt
Number
The number of items that were removed. If you pass `null` assumes 0
addAmt
Number
The number of items that were added. If you pass `null` assumes 0.
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

If you are implementing an object that supports Ember.Array, call this method just after the array content changes to notify any observers and invalidate any related properties. Pass the starting index of the change as well as a delta of the amounts to change.

arrayContentWillChange (startIdx, removeAmt, addAmt) Ember.Array public

startIdx
Number
The starting index in the array that will change.
removeAmt
Number
The number of items that will be removed. If you pass `null` assumes 0
addAmt
Number
The number of items that will be added. If you pass `null` assumes 0.
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

If you are implementing an object that supports Ember.Array, call this method just before the array content changes to notify any observers and invalidate any related properties. Pass the starting index of the change as well as a delta of the amounts to change.

cacheFor (keyName) Object public

keyName
String
returns
Object
The cached value of the computed property, if any

Returns the cached value of a computed property, if it exists. This allows you to inspect the value of a computed property without accidentally invoking it if it is intended to be generated lazily.

clear Ember.Array public

returns
Ember.Array
An empty Array.

Remove all elements from the array. This is useful if you want to reuse an existing array without having to recreate it.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

colors.length;  // 3
colors.clear(); // []
colors.length;  // 0

compact Array public

returns
Array
the array without null and undefined elements.

Returns a copy of the array with all null and undefined elements removed.

let arr = ['a', null, 'c', undefined];
arr.compact();  // ['a', 'c']

create (arguments) public

arguments

Creates an instance of a class. Accepts either no arguments, or an object containing values to initialize the newly instantiated object with.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  helloWorld() {
    alert(`Hi, my name is ${this.get('name')}`);
  }
});

let tom = Person.create({
  name: 'Tom Dale'
});

tom.helloWorld(); // alerts "Hi, my name is Tom Dale".

create will call the init function if defined during Ember.AnyObject.extend

If no arguments are passed to create, it will not set values to the new instance during initialization:

let noName = Person.create();
noName.helloWorld(); // alerts undefined

NOTE: For performance reasons, you cannot declare methods or computed properties during create. You should instead declare methods and computed properties when using extend.

decrementProperty (keyName, decrement) Number public

keyName
String
The name of the property to decrement
decrement
Number
The amount to decrement by. Defaults to 1
returns
Number
The new property value

Set the value of a property to the current value minus some amount.

player.decrementProperty('lives');
orc.decrementProperty('health', 5);

destroy Ember.Object public

returns
Ember.Object
receiver

Destroys an object by setting the isDestroyed flag and removing its metadata, which effectively destroys observers and bindings.

If you try to set a property on a destroyed object, an exception will be raised.

Note that destruction is scheduled for the end of the run loop and does not happen immediately. It will set an isDestroying flag immediately.

every (callback, target) Boolean public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Boolean

Returns true if the passed function returns true for every item in the enumeration. This corresponds with the every() method in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true or false.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Example Usage:

if (people.every(isEngineer)) {
  Paychecks.addBigBonus();
}

extend (mixins, arguments) public

mixins
Mixin
One or more Mixin classes
arguments
Object
Object containing values to use within the new class

Creates a new subclass.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  say(thing) {
    alert(thing);
   }
});

This defines a new subclass of Ember.Object: Person. It contains one method: say().

You can also create a subclass from any existing class by calling its extend() method. For example, you might want to create a subclass of Ember's built-in Ember.Component class:

const PersonComponent = Ember.Component.extend({
  tagName: 'li',
  classNameBindings: ['isAdministrator']
});

When defining a subclass, you can override methods but still access the implementation of your parent class by calling the special _super() method:

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  say(thing) {
    let name = this.get('name');
    alert(`${name} says: ${thing}`);
  }
});

const Soldier = Person.extend({
  say(thing) {
    this._super(`${thing}, sir!`);
  },
  march(numberOfHours) {
    alert(`${this.get('name')} marches for ${numberOfHours} hours.`);
  }
});

let yehuda = Soldier.create({
  name: 'Yehuda Katz'
});

yehuda.say('Yes');  // alerts "Yehuda Katz says: Yes, sir!"

The create() on line #17 creates an instance of the Soldier class. The extend() on line #8 creates a subclass of Person. Any instance of the Person class will not have the march() method.

You can also pass Mixin classes to add additional properties to the subclass.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  say(thing) {
    alert(`${this.get('name')} says: ${thing}`);
  }
});

const SingingMixin = Mixin.create({
  sing(thing){
    alert(`${this.get('name')} sings: la la la ${thing}`);
  }
});

const BroadwayStar = Person.extend(SingingMixin, {
  dance() {
    alert(`${this.get('name')} dances: tap tap tap tap `);
  }
});

The BroadwayStar class contains three methods: say(), sing(), and dance().

filter (callback, target) Array public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Array
A filtered array.

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration that the passed function returns true for. This method corresponds to filter() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

filterBy (key, value) Array public

key
String
the property to test
value
*
optional value to test against.
returns
Array
filtered array

Returns an array with just the items with the matched property. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

find (callback, target) Object public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Object
Found item or `undefined`.

Returns the first item in the array for which the callback returns true. This method works similar to the filter() method defined in JavaScript 1.6 except that it will stop working on the array once a match is found.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

findBy (key, value) Object public

key
String
the property to test
value
String
optional value to test against.
returns
Object
found item or `undefined`

Returns the first item with a property matching the passed value. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

This method works much like the more generic find() method.

forEach (callback, target) Object public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Object
receiver

Iterates through the enumerable, calling the passed function on each item. This method corresponds to the forEach() method defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

get (keyName) Object public

keyName
String
The property to retrieve
returns
Object
The property value or undefined.

Retrieves the value of a property from the object.

This method is usually similar to using object[keyName] or object.keyName, however it supports both computed properties and the unknownProperty handler.

Because get unifies the syntax for accessing all these kinds of properties, it can make many refactorings easier, such as replacing a simple property with a computed property, or vice versa.

Computed Properties

Computed properties are methods defined with the property modifier declared at the end, such as:

fullName: Ember.computed('firstName', 'lastName', function() {
  return this.get('firstName') + ' ' + this.get('lastName');
})

When you call get on a computed property, the function will be called and the return value will be returned instead of the function itself.

Unknown Properties

Likewise, if you try to call get on a property whose value is undefined, the unknownProperty() method will be called on the object. If this method returns any value other than undefined, it will be returned instead. This allows you to implement "virtual" properties that are not defined upfront.

getEach (key) Array public

key
String
name of the property
returns
Array
The mapped array.

Alias for mapBy

getProperties (list) Object public

list
String...|Array
of keys to get
returns
Object

To get the values of multiple properties at once, call getProperties with a list of strings or an array:

record.getProperties('firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode');
// { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }

is equivalent to:

record.getProperties(['firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode']);
// { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }

getWithDefault (keyName, defaultValue) Object public

keyName
String
The name of the property to retrieve
defaultValue
Object
The value to return if the property value is undefined
returns
Object
The property value or the defaultValue.

Retrieves the value of a property, or a default value in the case that the property returns undefined.

person.getWithDefault('lastName', 'Doe');

includes (obj) Boolean public

obj
Object
The object to search for.
returns
Boolean
`true` if object is found in the enumerable.

Returns true if the passed object can be found in the enumerable.

[1, 2, 3].includes(2);                     // true
[1, 2, 3].includes(4);                     // false
[1, 2, undefined].includes(undefined);     // true
[1, 2, null].includes(null);               // true
[1, 2, NaN].includes(NaN);                 // true

includes (obj) Boolean public

obj
Object
The object to search for.
returns
Boolean
`true` if object is found in the enumerable.

Returns true if the passed object can be found in the enumerable.

[1, 2, 3].includes(2);                     // true
[1, 2, 3].includes(4);                     // false
[1, 2, undefined].includes(undefined);     // true
[1, 2, null].includes(null);               // true
[1, 2, NaN].includes(NaN);                 // true

incrementProperty (keyName, increment) Number public

keyName
String
The name of the property to increment
increment
Number
The amount to increment by. Defaults to 1
returns
Number
The new property value

Set the value of a property to the current value plus some amount.

person.incrementProperty('age');
team.incrementProperty('score', 2);

indexOf (object, startAt) Number public

object
Object
the item to search for
startAt
Number
optional starting location to search, default 0
returns
Number
index or -1 if not found

Returns the index of the given object's first occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the starting location to search is 0. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'];

arr.indexOf('a');       //  0
arr.indexOf('z');       // -1
arr.indexOf('a', 2);    //  4
arr.indexOf('a', -1);   //  4
arr.indexOf('b', 3);    // -1
arr.indexOf('a', 100);  // -1

init public

An overridable method called when objects are instantiated. By default, does nothing unless it is overridden during class definition.

Example:

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  init() {
    alert(`Name is ${this.get('name')}`);
  }
});

let steve = Person.create({
  name: 'Steve'
});

// alerts 'Name is Steve'.

NOTE: If you do override init for a framework class like Ember.View, be sure to call this._super(...arguments) in your init declaration! If you don't, Ember may not have an opportunity to do important setup work, and you'll see strange behavior in your application.

insertAt (idx, object) Ember.Array public

idx
Number
index of insert the object at.
object
Object
object to insert
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

This will use the primitive replace() method to insert an object at the specified index.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

colors.insertAt(2, 'yellow');  // ['red', 'green', 'yellow', 'blue']
colors.insertAt(5, 'orange');  // Error: Index out of range

invoke (methodName, args) Array public

methodName
String
the name of the method
args
Object...
optional arguments to pass as well.
returns
Array
return values from calling invoke.

Invokes the named method on every object in the receiver that implements it. This method corresponds to the implementation in Prototype 1.6.

isAny (key, value) Boolean public

key
String
the property to test
value
String
optional value to test against. Defaults to `true`
returns
Boolean

Returns true if the passed property resolves to the value of the second argument for any item in the enumerable. This method is often simpler/faster than using a callback.

isEvery (key, value) Boolean public

key
String
the property to test
value
String
optional value to test against. Defaults to `true`
returns
Boolean

Returns true if the passed property resolves to the value of the second argument for all items in the enumerable. This method is often simpler/faster than using a callback.

Note that like the native Array.every, isEvery will return true when called on any empty enumerable.

lastIndexOf (object, startAt) Number public

object
Object
the item to search for
startAt
Number
optional starting location to search, default 0
returns
Number
index or -1 if not found

Returns the index of the given object's last occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the search starts from the last position. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'];

arr.lastIndexOf('a');       //  4
arr.lastIndexOf('z');       // -1
arr.lastIndexOf('a', 2);    //  0
arr.lastIndexOf('a', -1);   //  4
arr.lastIndexOf('b', 3);    //  1
arr.lastIndexOf('a', 100);  //  4

map (callback, target) Array public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Array
The mapped array.

Maps all of the items in the enumeration to another value, returning a new array. This method corresponds to map() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the mapped value.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

mapBy (key) Array public

key
String
name of the property
returns
Array
The mapped array.

Similar to map, this specialized function returns the value of the named property on all items in the enumeration.

notifyPropertyChange (keyName) Ember.Observable public

keyName
String
The property key to be notified about.
returns
Ember.Observable

Convenience method to call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange in succession.

objectAt (idx) * public

idx
Number
The index of the item to return.
returns
*
item at index or undefined

Returns the object at the given index. If the given index is negative or is greater or equal than the array length, returns undefined.

This is one of the primitives you must implement to support Ember.Array. If your object supports retrieving the value of an array item using get() (i.e. myArray.get(0)), then you do not need to implement this method yourself.

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

arr.objectAt(0);   // 'a'
arr.objectAt(3);   // 'd'
arr.objectAt(-1);  // undefined
arr.objectAt(4);   // undefined
arr.objectAt(5);   // undefined

objectAtContent (idx) Object public

idx
Number
The index to retrieve.
returns
Object
the value or undefined if none found

Should actually retrieve the object at the specified index from the content. You can override this method in subclasses to transform the content item to something new.

This method will only be called if content is non-null.

objectsAt (indexes) Array public

indexes
Array
An array of indexes of items to return.
returns
Array

This returns the objects at the specified indexes, using objectAt.

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

arr.objectsAt([0, 1, 2]);  // ['a', 'b', 'c']
arr.objectsAt([2, 3, 4]);  // ['c', 'd', undefined]

popObject public

returns
object

Pop object from array or nil if none are left. Works just like pop() but it is KVO-compliant.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

colors.popObject();   // 'blue'
console.log(colors);  // ['red', 'green']

pushObject (obj) public

obj
*
object to push
returns
object same object passed as a param

Push the object onto the end of the array. Works just like push() but it is KVO-compliant.

let colors = ['red', 'green'];

colors.pushObject('black');     // ['red', 'green', 'black']
colors.pushObject(['yellow']);  // ['red', 'green', ['yellow']]

pushObjects (objects) Ember.Array public

objects
Ember.Enumerable
the objects to add
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Add the objects in the passed numerable to the end of the array. Defers notifying observers of the change until all objects are added.

let colors = ['red'];

colors.pushObjects(['yellow', 'orange']);  // ['red', 'yellow', 'orange']

reduce (callback, initialValue, reducerProperty) Object public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
initialValue
Object
Initial value for the reduce
reducerProperty
String
internal use only.
returns
Object
The reduced value.

This will combine the values of the enumerator into a single value. It is a useful way to collect a summary value from an enumeration. This corresponds to the reduce() method defined in JavaScript 1.8.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(previousValue, item, index, enumerable);
  • previousValue is the value returned by the last call to the iterator.
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration.
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

Return the new cumulative value.

In addition to the callback you can also pass an initialValue. An error will be raised if you do not pass an initial value and the enumerator is empty.

Note that unlike the other methods, this method does not allow you to pass a target object to set as this for the callback. It's part of the spec. Sorry.

reject (callback, target) Array public

callback
Function
The callback to execute
target
Object
The target object to use
returns
Array
A rejected array.

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration where the passed function returns false. This method is the inverse of filter().

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);
  • item is the current item in the iteration.
  • index is the current index in the iteration
  • enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return a falsey value to include the item in the results.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as "this" on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

rejectBy (key, value) Array public

key
String
the property to test
value
String
optional value to test against.
returns
Array
rejected array

Returns an array with the items that do not have truthy values for key. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to false.

removeArrayObserver (target, opts) Ember.Array public

target
Object
The object observing the array.
opts
Object
Optional hash of configuration options including `willChange` and `didChange` option.
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Removes an array observer from the object if the observer is current registered. Calling this method multiple times with the same object will have no effect.

removeAt (start, len) Ember.Array public

start
Number
index, start of range
len
Number
length of passing range
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Remove an object at the specified index using the replace() primitive method. You can pass either a single index, or a start and a length.

If you pass a start and length that is beyond the length this method will throw an OUT_OF_RANGE_EXCEPTION.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow', 'orange'];

colors.removeAt(0);     // ['green', 'blue', 'yellow', 'orange']
colors.removeAt(2, 2);  // ['green', 'blue']
colors.removeAt(4, 2);  // Error: Index out of range

removeObject (object) Object public

object
Object
The object to remove from the enumerable.
returns
Object
the passed object

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

Attempts to remove the passed object from the receiver collection if the object is present in the collection. If the object is not present, this method has no effect.

If the passed object is of a type not supported by the receiver, then this method should raise an exception.

removeObjects (objects) Object public

objects
Ember.Enumerable
the objects to remove
returns
Object
receiver

Removes each object in the passed enumerable from the receiver.

removeObserver (key, target, method) public

key
String
The key to observe
target
Object
The target object to invoke
method
String|Function
The method to invoke

Remove an observer you have previously registered on this object. Pass the same key, target, and method you passed to addObserver() and your target will no longer receive notifications.

reopen public

Augments a constructor's prototype with additional properties and functions:

const MyObject = Ember.Object.extend({
  name: 'an object'
});

o = MyObject.create();
o.get('name'); // 'an object'

MyObject.reopen({
  say(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
  }
});

o2 = MyObject.create();
o2.say('hello'); // logs "hello"

o.say('goodbye'); // logs "goodbye"

To add functions and properties to the constructor itself, see reopenClass

reopenClass public

Augments a constructor's own properties and functions:

const MyObject = Ember.Object.extend({
  name: 'an object'
});

MyObject.reopenClass({
  canBuild: false
});

MyObject.canBuild; // false
o = MyObject.create();

In other words, this creates static properties and functions for the class. These are only available on the class and not on any instance of that class.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  name: '',
  sayHello() {
    alert(`Hello. My name is ${this.get('name')}`);
  }
});

Person.reopenClass({
  species: 'Homo sapiens',

  createPerson(name) {
    return Person.create({ name });
  }
});

let tom = Person.create({
  name: 'Tom Dale'
});
let yehuda = Person.createPerson('Yehuda Katz');

tom.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Tom Dale"
yehuda.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Yehuda Katz"
alert(Person.species); // "Homo sapiens"

Note that species and createPerson are not valid on the tom and yehuda variables. They are only valid on Person.

replace (idx, amt, objects) public

idx
Number
Starting index in the array to replace. If idx >= length, then append to the end of the array.
amt
Number
Number of elements that should be removed from the array, starting at *idx*.
objects
Array
An array of zero or more objects that should be inserted into the array at *idx*

Required. You must implement this method to apply this mixin.

This is one of the primitives you must implement to support Ember.Array. You should replace amt objects started at idx with the objects in the passed array. You should also call this.enumerableContentDidChange()

reverseObjects Ember.Array public

returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Reverse objects in the array. Works just like reverse() but it is KVO-compliant.

set (keyName, value) Object public

keyName
String
The property to set
value
Object
The value to set or `null`.
returns
Object
The passed value

Sets the provided key or path to the value.

record.set("key", value);

This method is generally very similar to calling object["key"] = value or object.key = value, except that it provides support for computed properties, the setUnknownProperty() method and property observers.

Computed Properties

If you try to set a value on a key that has a computed property handler defined (see the get() method for an example), then set() will call that method, passing both the value and key instead of simply changing the value itself. This is useful for those times when you need to implement a property that is composed of one or more member properties.

Unknown Properties

If you try to set a value on a key that is undefined in the target object, then the setUnknownProperty() handler will be called instead. This gives you an opportunity to implement complex "virtual" properties that are not predefined on the object. If setUnknownProperty() returns undefined, then set() will simply set the value on the object.

Property Observers

In addition to changing the property, set() will also register a property change with the object. Unless you have placed this call inside of a beginPropertyChanges() and endPropertyChanges(), any "local" observers (i.e. observer methods declared on the same object), will be called immediately. Any "remote" observers (i.e. observer methods declared on another object) will be placed in a queue and called at a later time in a coalesced manner.

setEach (key, value) Object public

key
String
The key to set
value
Object
The object to set
returns
Object
receiver

Sets the value on the named property for each member. This is more ergonomic than using other methods defined on this helper. If the object implements Ember.Observable, the value will be changed to set(), otherwise it will be set directly. null objects are skipped.

setObjects (objects) Ember.Array public

objects
Ember.Array
array whose content will be used for replacing the content of the receiver
returns
Ember.Array
receiver with the new content

Replace all the receiver's content with content of the argument. If argument is an empty array receiver will be cleared.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

colors.setObjects(['black', 'white']);  // ['black', 'white']
colors.setObjects([]);                  // []

setProperties (hash) Object public

hash
Object
the hash of keys and values to set
returns
Object
The passed in hash

Sets a list of properties at once. These properties are set inside a single beginPropertyChanges and endPropertyChanges batch, so observers will be buffered.

record.setProperties({ firstName: 'Charles', lastName: 'Jolley' });

shiftObject public

returns
object

Shift an object from start of array or nil if none are left. Works just like shift() but it is KVO-compliant.

let colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

colors.shiftObject();  // 'red'
console.log(colors);   // ['green', 'blue']

slice (beginIndex, endIndex) Array public

beginIndex
Number
(Optional) index to begin slicing from.
endIndex
Number
(Optional) index to end the slice at (but not included).
returns
Array
New array with specified slice

Returns a new array that is a slice of the receiver. This implementation uses the observable array methods to retrieve the objects for the new slice.

let arr = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

arr.slice(0);       // ['red', 'green', 'blue']
arr.slice(0, 2);    // ['red', 'green']
arr.slice(1, 100);  // ['green', 'blue']

sortBy (property) Array public

property
String
name(s) to sort on
returns
Array
The sorted array.

Converts the enumerable into an array and sorts by the keys specified in the argument.

You may provide multiple arguments to sort by multiple properties.

toArray Array public

returns
Array
the enumerable as an array.

Simply converts the enumerable into a genuine array. The order is not guaranteed. Corresponds to the method implemented by Prototype.

toString String public

returns
String
string representation

Returns a string representation which attempts to provide more information than Javascript's toString typically does, in a generic way for all Ember objects.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend()
person = Person.create()
person.toString() //=> "<Person:ember1024>"

If the object's class is not defined on an Ember namespace, it will indicate it is a subclass of the registered superclass:

const Student = Person.extend()
let student = Student.create()
student.toString() //=> "<(subclass of Person):ember1025>"

If the method toStringExtension is defined, its return value will be included in the output.

const Teacher = Person.extend({
  toStringExtension() {
    return this.get('fullName');
  }
});
teacher = Teacher.create()
teacher.toString(); //=> "<Teacher:ember1026:Tom Dale>"

toggleProperty (keyName) Boolean public

keyName
String
The name of the property to toggle
returns
Boolean
The new property value

Set the value of a boolean property to the opposite of its current value.

starship.toggleProperty('warpDriveEngaged');

uniq Ember.Enumerable public

returns
Ember.Enumerable

Returns a new enumerable that contains only unique values. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type.

let arr = ['a', 'a', 'b', 'b'];
arr.uniq();  // ['a', 'b']

This only works on primitive data types, e.g. Strings, Numbers, etc.

uniqBy Ember.Enumerable public

returns
Ember.Enumerable

Returns a new enumerable that contains only items containing a unique property value. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type.

let arr = [{ value: 'a' }, { value: 'a' }, { value: 'b' }, { value: 'b' }];
arr.uniqBy('value');  // [{ value: 'a' }, { value: 'b' }]

unshiftObject (obj) public

obj
*
object to unshift
returns
object same object passed as a param

Unshift an object to start of array. Works just like unshift() but it is KVO-compliant.

let colors = ['red'];

colors.unshiftObject('yellow');    // ['yellow', 'red']
colors.unshiftObject(['black']);   // [['black'], 'yellow', 'red']

unshiftObjects (objects) Ember.Array public

objects
Ember.Enumerable
the objects to add
returns
Ember.Array
receiver

Adds the named objects to the beginning of the array. Defers notifying observers until all objects have been added.

let colors = ['red'];

colors.unshiftObjects(['black', 'white']);   // ['black', 'white', 'red']
colors.unshiftObjects('yellow'); // Type Error: 'undefined' is not a function

willDestroy public

Override to implement teardown.

without (value) Ember.Enumerable public

value
Object
returns
Ember.Enumerable

Returns a new enumerable that excludes the passed value. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type. If the receiver does not contain the value it returns the original enumerable.

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'a', 'c'];
arr.without('a');  // ['b', 'c']
