empty params variable in ember

Question

So I\'ve set up a router and some routes, and this works for the most part. when I load #/contacts/123 (or whatever) the ContactIndexRoute returns an empty params object.

Answer 1

Params are only passed to route which defines the slug. Meaning if you define a slug on the resource it only exists on the resource, and not its routes. If it's defined on a route under a resource it only lives on that route.

CallMonitor.ContactRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function(params){
        return  this.store.find('contact', params.contact_id);
    },
    renderTemplate: function(){
        this._super(this, arguments);
        this.render('contact', {
            outlet: 'points',
            into: 'contacts',
            controller: 'contactsIndex'
        })
    },
    setupController: function(controller, contact) {
        controller.set('contact', contact);
    }
});
