Last Updated : 09 Dec, 2022

Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing large client-side web applications which are based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Ember.js is one of the most widely used front-end application frameworks. It is made to speed up development and increase productivity. Currently, it is utilized by a large number of websites, including Square, Discourse, Groupon, Linked In, Live Nation, Twitch, and Chipotle.

The invoke() method is used to invoke the named method on every object in the receiver that implements it.

Syntax:

invoke( methodName, args );

Parameters:

methodName: It is the name of the method that we want to invoke.
args: It is an optional argument that will pass to invoke the method.

Return Value: A return value from calling invoke.

To run the following examples you will need to have an ember project with you. To create one, you will need to install ember-cli first. Write the below code in the terminal:

npm install ember-cli

Now you can create the project by typing in the following piece of code:

ember new <project-name> --lang en

To start the server, type:

ember server

Example 1: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:

ember generate route invoke1

app/routes/invoke1.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
class employee {
    name = null;
    city = null;
    gender = null;
    zipCode = null;
    constructor(name, city, gender, zipCode) {
        this.name = name;
        this.city = city;
        this.gender = gender;
        this.zipCode = zipCode;
    }
    show_details() {
        return `${this.name} is Employee from 
        ${this.city} zipCode ${this.zipCode}`;
    }
}
export default class DetailsRoute extends Route {
    details = [
        new employee('Anubhav', 'Patna', 'M', '800020'),
        new employee('Satyam', 'Delhi', 'M', '110012'),
        new employee('Shivam', 'Patna', 'M', '530068'),
        new employee('Ayushi', 'Jaipur', 'F', '302001'),
    ];
    attr = ['name', 'city', 'gender', 'zipCode'];
    temp;
    start;
    end;
    model() {
        return this.details;
    }
    setupController(controller, model) {
        super.setupController(controller, model);
        controller.set('details', this.details);
        controller.set('attr', this.attr);
        controller.set('temp', this.temp);
        controller.set('temp2', this.temp2);
        controller.set('end', this.end);
    }
}

app/controllers/invoke1.js

import Ember from "ember";
import { any, slice, reverseObjects, rejectBy }
    from "@ember/array";

export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    actions: {
        checkCity(city) {
            let res = this.details.any((person) =>
                person.city == city);
            alert(`Person from ${city} is ${res ? "" :
             'not'} Present`);
        },

            let tempItems = this.details.find((i)
            => i.gender == "F");
            alert(tempItems.name);
        },
        show_Data() {
            let ans = this.details.invoke('show_details');
            alert(ans.join('\n'))
        },
    },
});
