Using:
- ember-1.0.0-pre.4.js
- ember-data.js REVISION:11
- handlebars-1.0.rc.2.js
Please have a look at this jsFiddle illustrating the described problem.
I have a list of items that are displayed in a template. The template contain a linkTo helper that let's the controller add an item to the collection and is shown as a text input on the page.
Adding the item to the collection is done by the controller:
App.TodoItem = DS.Model.extend({
title: DS.attr('string', { defaultValue: "unknown" })
});
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('todo_items')
});
App.TodoItemsRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function () {
return App.TodoItem.find();
}
});
App.TodoItemsController = Em.ArrayController.extend({
addTodoItem: function () {
App.TodoItem.createRecord();
}
});
If I want the new item to be shown is the list, I have to pass params to createRecord, otherwise the item is not visible. The same behaviour can be reproduced by using Chrome's inspector and then the item can be made visible as follows:
// Open the jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/bazzel/BkFYd/ and select 'result(fiddle.jshell.net) in the inspector, then:
var item = App.TodoItem.createRecord();
// Nothing visible yet.
item.set('title', 'Whatever');
// Now the text input appear with the title as its value.
Is this expected behaviour and if so, what am I missing here?
