Is there any way to get a hand on the model from a controller? I would need to call an instance method defined on the model and 

this.get(methodName)(params)

does not work, as it loses the 'this' call context within the called function.

Thank you.

I'm not sure which context you want to exist in the method, if you need to switch the context you can use call/apply. The context should be the context of the method, not the controller by javascript standards.

var model = this.get('model');

model.methodName(arg1, arg2);

Controller's context

model.methodName.apply(this, arrayOfArgs);

model.methodName.call(this, arg1, arg2);

  • Thanks, man! This question was really stupid, had tried calling this.get('model') but was in a jQuery handler by accident and the 'this' was pointing to something different, hence the strive to do this.get('methodName')(params) – Tudor Vintilescu Jun 20 '14 at 12:16
