Hello I've been stuck for days how to display a post's delete button only for the post's author in Ember.js (I'm using ember-cli to build this). I don't know where to put the logic of "When hovering a post (list), if the post's author is equal to currently logged in user, then display the delete button" I am lost. Please help me.
in template app/templates/posts.hbs
{{#each}}
<div class="eachPost">
{{#view 'posts'}}
<div class="postProfilePhoto">
{{#link-to 'users' }}
<img src="" alt="Profile Photo">
{{/link-to}}
</div>
<div class="eachPostContent">
<p class="postAuthor"><strong>{{user.id}}</strong></p>
<p class="postContent">{{body}}</p>
<span class="timePosted"><em>somtimes ago</em></span>
{{#if view.entered}}{{#if isAuthor}}
<a class="deletePost" {{action "removePost" this}}>Delete</a>
{{/if}}{{/if}}
</div>
{{/view}}
</div>
{{/each}}
in views app/views/posts.js
var Posts = Ember.View.extend({
classNames: ['eachPostContent'],
mouseEnter: function(event){
this.set('entered', true);
this.get('controller').send('isAuthor', this.get('post').user);
},
mouseLeave: function(){
this.set('entered', false);
}
});
export default Posts;
in controller app/controllers/posts.js
var PostsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
...
isAuthor: function(user){
if(this.get('session').user !== null && user === this.get('session').user){
return true;
} else {
return false;
console.log('You are not author');
}
}
}
});
export default PostsController;
SOLVED
in app/templates/posts.hbs
{{#each itemController="post"}}
<div class="eachPost">
created app/controllers/post.js
var PostController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
isAuthor: function(){
return this.get('user') === this.get('session').user;
}.property('user')
});
export default PostController;
delete following code from app/views/posts.js
this.get('controller').send('isAuthor', this.get('post').user);
and deleted isAuthor
function from app/controllers/posts.js
As mentioned above, you'll want to use an
itemController
And then in the
itemController
you will create a computed property that checks the user id against the author id of the post
