Query Param API Examples

• Search queries
• Sort: client-side, no refiring of model hook
• Sort: server-side, refire model hook
• Pagination + Sorting
• Boolean values. False value removes QP from URL
• Global query params on app route
• Opt-in to full transition via refresh()
• replaceUrl by changing controller QP property
• w/ {{partial}} helper for easy tabbing
• link-to with no route name, only QP change
• Complex: serializing textarea content into URL (and subexpressions))
• Arrays

Are there any examples of using query params with an Ember.Select view?

Is it possible to pass an entire object to the queryParams?

For example:

queryParams: ['filters'],
filters: {
  name: 'Ivan',
  age: 666
}

In the address bar, in theory, it should look like this: ```?filters[name]=ivan&filters[age]=666
But how to do it?

Tried your Gist - https://gist.github.com/machty/7923797 - but in Ember 1.7.0 this don't work :)

@dlcwalkoff: Did you ever figure out an easy way to pass an object in the URL like that?

+1 on how to use objects in the query params (e.g., /book/5?filter[chapter]=Chapter1). This style is used heavily in json api and should be supported by Ember. Any ideas on how to go about it? It's also recommended for paging /books?page[number]=1&page[size]=100

Just came up with a way to use object based query params which seems to work:

In the controller you need to map the controller property to your query param key:

queryParams: ['sort',{
    entityNameFilterValue: 'filter[entity.entity-name]'
  }],

Then in the routers model function you need to construct the params however you want based on the controller value:

model: function(params){
    if(params.entityNameFilterValue){
      params.filter = {};
      params.filter['entity.entity-name'] = params.entityNameFilterValue;
      delete params.entityNameFilterValue;
    }
    // do your store lookup now with params
}

Thanks for this!
