Ember.js ArrayProxy init() Method

Last Updated : 17 Feb, 2023

Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing large client-side web applications which are based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Ember.js is one of the most widely used front-end application frameworks. It is made to speed up development and increase productivity. Currently, it is utilized by a large number of websites, including Square, Discourse, Groupon, Linked In, Live Nation, Twitch, and Chipotle.

The init() method is called when objects are instantiated.

Syntax:

init(){
// method algorithm 
};

To run the following examples you will need to have an ember project with you. To create one, you will need to install ember-cli first. Write the below code in the terminal:

npm install ember-cli

Now you can create the project by typing in the following piece of code:

ember new <project-name> --lang en

To start the server, type:

ember serve

Example 1: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:

ember generate route insertAt1

app/routes/init1.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route'; 
export default class FruitsRoute extends Route { 
    fruits = [ 
        { 
            'name': 'Lady Finger', 
            'isFruit': false, 
            'color': 'green', 
            'quant': 2, 
        }, 
        { 
            'name': 'Brinjal', 
            'isFruit': false, 
            'color': 'purple', 
            'quant': 2, 
        }, 
        { 
            'name': 'Apple', 
            'isFruit': true, 
            'color': 'red', 
            'quant': 5, 
        }, 
        {

            'quant': 2, 
        } 
    ]; 
    item2; 
    item3; 
    init() { 
        this._super(...arguments); 
        alert("this is initalier"); 
    } 
    model() { 
        return this.fruits; 
    } 
    setupController(controller, model) { 
        super.setupController(controller, model); 
        controller.set('fruits', this.fruits); 
        controller.set('item1', this.item1); 
        controller.set('item2', this.item2); 
        controller.set('item3', this.item3); 
    } 
}

        print_Color() { 
            let temp = ''; 
            let foo = this.fruits.getEach('name'); 
            let too = this.fruits.getEach('color'); 
            for (let i = 0; i < foo.length; i++) 
                temp += foo[i] + '\n'; 
            alert(temp ? temp : 'No item in list') 
        }, 
        remove() { 
            this.fruits.clear(); 
  
        }, 
    }, 
});
