alias-model-in-controller

It makes code more readable if the model has the same name as a subject.

Examples

We can do this in two ways:

• Alias the model to another property name in the Controller:

  import Controller from '@ember/controller';
  import { alias } from '@ember/object/computed';
  
  export default Controller.extend({
    nail: alias('model')
  });

• Set it as a property in the Route's setupController method:

  import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
  
  export default Route.extend({
    setupController(controller, model) {
      controller.set('nail', model);
    }
  });

If you're passing multiple models as an RSVP.hash, you can also alias nested properties:

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { reads } from '@ember/object/computed';

export default Controller.extend({
  people: reads('model.people'),
  pets: reads('model.pets')
});
