Ember - v1.7.0
Ember Data - v1.0.0-beta.10

I created a modal component using zurb foundation 5 CSS framework reveal features, though all works well, am unable to save data captured from the form in controller save action.

Controller which handles on save button execution

App.PersonModalController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
    actions: {
        close: function() {
            return this.send( 'closeModal' );
        },

        save:function() {
            this.get('model').save();
        }
    }
});

The issue am facing is that the this.get('model').save() is not working and data is not been posted to restful backend.

Am not sure exactly how to go about storing the data captured from the form, when I console.log( this.get('model') ); it appears to be a proper model object with all the bells and whistles.

I tried obtaining the store to add model to it but that doesn't work too.

A. Addendum

After searching around I came across a number of Stack Overflow questions relating to this.get('model').save() it appears it doesn't quite work as expect, perhaps based on context.

When I change code to the following:

App.PersonModalController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
    actions: {
        close: function() {
            return this.send( 'closeModal' );
        },

        save:function() {
            var person = this.store.createRecord('person',{firstName:firstName,lastName:lastName});
            person.save();
        }
    }
});

It POSTs data correctly to back-end and saves, I however believe there must be a better way, cause if you have a form with say 50 fields, you won't want to manually set each attribute.

After careful inspection, though posting occurs, the data posted is empty.

I would try to continue your save method as in Bart's answer to the ember-js-how-to-save-a-model question.

person.save().then(function() {
  // SUCCESS
}, function() {
  // FAILURE
});

and in those methods I would console.log() the results.

I would imagine it has something to do with the promise aspect of the save functionality.
