Passing data up from an Ember compontent to model

Question

I'm new to Ember, and I'm trying to figure out how to best use components to change a model. I'm trying to figure out I'm on Ember 1.13.7 and using the FixtureAdapter. I have the following code:

app/models/client.js

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.Model.extend({
    name: DS.attr('string'),
    clientCode: DS.attr('string'),
    vatNr: DS.attr('string'),
    regNr: DS.attr('string'),
    address: DS.attr('string'),
    city: DS.attr('string'),
    postCode: DS.attr('string'),
    country: DS.attr('string'),
    lastViewed: DS.attr('date')
}).reopenClass({
  FIXTURES: [
    { id: 1, name: 'Con', clientCo: 'CON01', lastViewed: new Date("2015-03-25T12:00:00") },
    { id: 2, name: 'Moi', clientCo: 'MOI01', lastViewed: new Date("2015-01-25T12:00:00") },
  ]
});

app/routes/clients.js

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function(){
        return this.store.find('client');
    },
    actions: {
        saveClient: function() {
            var model = this.modelFor('clients/show');
            model.save().then(()=> {
                this.transitionTo('clients');
            });
        }
    }
});

app/templates/clients/edit.hbs

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <form class="form-horizontal">
            {{bootstrap-input model.name "Name"}}
            {{bootstrap-input model.email "Email"}}
            <div class="text-right">
                <button class="btn btn-primary" {{action 'saveClient'}}>Save</button>   
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

app/compontents/bootstrap-input.js

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend({
    positionalParams: ['model', 'label']
});

app/templates/compontents/bootstrap-input.hbs

<div class="form-group">
    <label class="col-sm-2 control-label">{{label}}</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        {{input value=model type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=placeholder}}
    </div>
</div>

Now as you can see, changes won't be reflected in the model being passed down, since it's a one way binding (i think this is what's going on?), or rather doesn't reference the model directly. When I don't use positionalParams, and pass in the model directly into the component, it works fine. Eg:

{{bootstrap-input model=model.name label="Name"}}

But as far as I understand, that's not the correct way to do it in Ember 2. How do I get the changes made in my component to my model, so I can save it in the route?

Answer 1

You need to reference attribute as attrs.model instead of model in component.

See working demo.
