I'm sorry I couldn't figure out something so basic and had to ask here, but in the newUser callback function, how do I get a reference to that input element?
{{input action="newUser"}}
I tried param=this this.$() this.get('element') Nothing worked in Ember 1.7
You could try
this.$('input')
which will return a jQuery-style element set on which you can do more jQuery-type things, or
this.get('element').querySelector('input')
this.get('element') will return the view element, so you need to poke down into it to find the input element, whether by tagname as above, or via some other selection mechanism such as id or class.
However, this assumes the action is defined within the view, where this.$ and this.get('element') are defined. It will not work if the action is defined on the controller or route. It is a common Ember pattern to have an action handler on the view, which does view-related things, and then sends some action along to the controller for it to do controller-related things.
However, if you are trying to retrieve the input element just in order to muck with its value, then you can do this much more easily by simply modifying the property bound to the input elements' value.
this.$ is undefined this.get('element') is also undefined, when called from my actions callback functionthis.$ or this.get('element'). Remember to specify target='view' within the action directive. However, if you just clear the property bound to the input element, you won't need to worry about this.Views at all, I have all my code in the Ember.Route, I'm not sure why views are necessary, sounds like boilerplate to me. I'll look into it, ty.You don't even need a reference to the element to clear it. Just use data-binding:
