Why isn't my ember.js route model being called?

Question

I just started learning Ember.js (bought the PeepCode screencast), and am learning quite smoothly from it, but ran into a problem when trying to write my first Ember app.

Answer 1

Force Ember to use the model hook; just pass the id instead of the object:

{{#link-to 'place' place.id}}
    {{place.name}}
{{/link-to}}

As Ember no longer knows which object is related to given id, Ember will call the model hook (and so the data will be loaded from the server).
