The Ember namespace API now has a getOwner method, which is very useful for looking up the currentRouteName, or, other route properties.

  const owner        = Ember.getOwner(this);
  const currentRoute = owner.lookup('router:main').currentRouteName;
  const routeInfo    = owner.lookup(`route:${currentRoute}`).get('info');
  // etc.

I've created an Ember Twiddle example to demonstrate. Use the text input above the "Output" pane to hit other routes like /blue, /green, or /red.
