While going from one route to another, I want to pass some data (especcially arrays). How is it possible?

Why can't we use query-params with arrays?

Is it a problem storing data in a specific service during transition?

Note: I know there are some old questions those are nearly the same with this question. But their selected answers are no more applicable for Ember 2.x. Those questions are: 1, 2.

I´m not sure if queryparams won´t work with arrays as I only used it with single ids, but it would not be a good solutions even if it worked, there´s a limit on how much you can send by parameters and you should not bother any user with your data.

  1. Just create a model to save your data for local use, so you can simply use the ember store

  2. Use a service you´ll have to inject in every controller you want to use your data

I would prefer the model/store variant so you´ll be able to observe and just follow the normal flow which is also good if someone else has to maintain your code.

    The reason you would want to use query params and not a store is because then you use the ability to bookmark/share the url. – tarponjargon Feb 10 '17 at 04:49

UPDATED

After testing with "transition.data"; not updating the history seems as a problem for us. So we again use "queryParams". The constraint is: do not pass a complex object between routes

OLD ANSWER

I'm using transition object for this purpose in an action while routing as the following:

let transition = router.transitionTo(route, model);
transition.data[propName] = propValue;

Also I wrote a component to use this code as link-to.
