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 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.

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.

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
.

Set the value of a property to the current value minus some amount.
player.decrementProperty('lives'); orc.decrementProperty('health', 5);

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.

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()
.

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 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.
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.

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' }

Retrieves the value of a property, or a default value in the case that the property returns undefined
.
person.getWithDefault('lastName', 'Doe');

Set the value of a property to the current value plus some amount.
person.incrementProperty('age'); team.incrementProperty('score', 2);

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.

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.

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
Inherited from Ember.CoreObject packages/ember-runtime/lib/system/core_object.js:751
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
.

This method is called via the container's resolver method. It parses the provided fullName
and then looks up and returns the appropriate template or class.
Inherited from Ember.Observable packages/ember-runtime/lib/mixins/observable.js:164
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.
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.
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.
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.
Inherited from Ember.Observable packages/ember-runtime/lib/mixins/observable.js:213
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' });

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>"
