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

ember generate route objA1

app/routes/obA1.js

Javascript

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import { A } from '@ember/array';
import ArrayProxy from '@ember/array/proxy';
 
export default class List2Route extends Route {
    list = ArrayProxy.create({
        content: A([
            'Oxygen',
            'Source Code',
            'Infine',
            'Tenet',
            'SpiderHead',
            'The Thing',

            'Looper',
            'Ad Astra',
        ])
    });
    model() {
        return this.list;
    }
    setupController(controller, model) {
        super.setupController(controller, model);
        controller.set('list', this.list);
    }
}

app/controller/obA1.js

Javascript

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { action } from '@ember/object';
 
export default class List2Controller extends Controller {
    @action
    print() {
        let temp = this.list.content;
        alert(temp.join('\n'));
    }
    @action
    show(data) {
        alert(this.list.objectAtContent(data));
    }
}

app/templates/obA1.hbs

HTML

{{page-title "Example"}}
<h3>Here is a list of eatables: </h3>
<table>
    {{#each @model as |item|}}
        <tr>
            <td>{{item}}</td>
        </tr>
    {{/each}}
</table>
<br />
<div>
    <label>Enter Index: </label>
    {{input value=this.item3}}
</div>
<br />
<div>
    <input
        type="button"
        id="print-item"
        value="Item At index"
        {{action "show" this.item3}}
    />
</div>
<br /><br />
<div>
    <input
        type="button"
        id="print-item"
        value="Print All items"
        {{action "print"}}
    />
</div>
{{outlet}}

Output:

objectAtContent output1

Example 2: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:

ember generate route test2

app/routes/test2.js

Javascript

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import EmberObject from '@ember/object';
import Ember from 'ember';
 
let List = Ember.ArrayProxy.extend({});
 
export default class FruitsRoute extends Route {
    temp = [
        'python',
        'javascript',
        'java',
        'Php',

    item2;
    item3;
 
    model() {
        return this.list;
    }
    setupController(controller, model) {
        super.setupController(controller, model);
        controller.set('fruits', this.fruits);
        controller.set('item1', this.item1);
        controller.set('item2', this.item2);
        controller.set('list', this.list);
        controller.set('temp', this.temp);
    }
}
