I want to call specific instances of an object using handlebars ex.{{ object.someAttribute 2 }}

Question

Object 1 and Object 2 are all a part of an Objects (array), and each object has someAttribute: DS.attr('string');

So the array is only two objects for this example, and I want to the value of someAttribut

I know how to loop through each Object with {{#each}} but I want one object called, not a list of all of them.

Do I call {{ object.someAttribute 2 }}, where i state the object, the attribute i want displayed and then its ID?

I want to know how to call this object and its attributes on any page.

Thanks for the help!

is object an array? or is the scope supposedly an array, I'm not sure where we're getting the 3rd object from. — Kingpin2k, Jun 09 '14 at 19:09

To call specific item / object of an array in handlebars, use

{{objects.[1].someAttribute}} to access the someAttribute property of the second object in the array.

example, http://emberjs.jsbin.com/xagewugi/1/edit

hbs

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="index">
  using <b>\{{each}}</b> helper
    <ul>
    {{#each item in model}}
      <li>id: {{item.id}}<br/>
  someAttr1: {{item.someAttr1}}</li>
    {{/each}}
    </ul>
  calling an object <b>directly</b><br/>
  this is the first object's attributes:<br/>
  id: {{model.[0].id}}<br/>
  someAttr1: {{model.[0].someAttr1}}
  </script>

js

App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return [
      Em.Object.create({id:1,someAttr1:"attribute of 1"}),
      Em.Object.create({id:2,someAttr1:"attribute of 2"}),
      Em.Object.create({id:3,someAttr1:"attribute of 3"}),
      Em.Object.create({id:4,someAttr1:"attribute of 4"})
    ];
  }
});
