Installation

• ember install ember-auto-save

Use

AutoSaveProxy

This is a computed property that provides an autoSaveProxy object. The autoSaveProxy object will proxy all requests to the model property. Setting properties on the autoSaveProxy object will be automatically saved.

Use this property in a controller or component. Set your model on the controller, then create an autoSaveProxy object for the model.

Example:

controller.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import autoSaveProxy from 'ember-auto-save';

export default Ember.Controller.extend({
  autoSaveProxy,
  model: model
});

template.hbs

{{input value=autoSaveProxy.name}}

AutoSaveComponent

You can use the AutoSaveComponent to wrap a model and provide an autoSaveProxy object.

{{#auto-save model=model as |autoSaveProxy|}}
  {{input value=autoSaveProxy.name}}
{{/auto-save}}

AutoSaveMixin

The AutoSaveMixin overrides the setUnknownProperty method, and triggers the save method when properties are set on the model.

The example below show how you can create your own autoSaveProxy object.

import AutoSaveMixin from 'ember-auto-save/mixins/auto-save';

let AutoSaveProxy = Ember.ObjectProxy.extend(AutoSaveMixin);

let autoSaveProxy =  AutoSaveProxy.create({
  content: this.get('model')
});

save() method

This method debounces the save method on the model provided. This method is useful for saving models from within code by calling save(model).

NOTE: This method does not auto-save the model, you have to manually call this method.

import { save } from `ember-auto-save`

save( model );

Optionally, you can provide a time to wait before applying the method. If no time value is specified then the default of 2000 (2 seconds) will be used.

// save the model after 5 seconds
save( model, 5000 );
