What is the NamedRouteQuery for 'index' actions in Batman.js

Question

I am trying to redirect to an index action after save, and can't figure out the proper NamedRouteQuery. I have tried:

• @routes.posts.index
• `App.get('routes.posts.index')
• `App.get('routes.posts').index
• `App.get('routes.posts')
• `App.get('routes').posts

etc, but in the end the only thing that works is @redirect '/posts'. Is the string version the only option for index actions?

Answer 1

There are a few ways to get this done.

Passing params to Batman.redirect

Calling @redirect handles the controller before/afterActions, then delegates to Batman.redirect.Batman.redirect can take:

• a string, which is treated as the target URL ("/posts")
• a Batman.Model, which redirects to the index (Batman.redirect(MyApp.Post) redirects to "/posts")
• a Batman.Model instance, which redirects to "show" (Batman.redirect(thisPost) redirects to "/posts/#{thisPost.id}"*)
• an object containing params:
  • Batman.redirect({controller: "posts", action: "index"}) => /posts
  • Batman.redirect({controller: "posts", action: "edit", id: 6}) => /posts/6/edit

* Actually calls record.toParam?() || record.get('id') to get the param

So, you could use @redirect({controller: "posts", action: "index"}) or @redirect(App.Post) to redirect to the index action.

Using a NamedRouteQuery

I'm not great with NamedRouteQuery, but here are some examples anyways:

• App.get('routes').posts().path() => /posts
• App.get('routes').posts(6).path() => /posts/6
• App.get('routes').posts().get(6).path() => /posts/6
• App.get('routes').posts().get(6).get('edit').path() => /posts/6/edit

You could use one of those to get your url string, then pass the string to @redirect.

Hope this helps!
