Invoking Actions on Component Collaborators

---

---

You can invoke actions on component collaborators directly from template.

Syntax

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Component.extend ({
   target_attribute: Ember.inject.service(),
   // code for component implementation
});

Example

The example given below specifies invoking actions on component collaborators directly from template in your application. Create a component with the name ember-actions and open the component template file ember-actions.js created under app/components/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';
var inject = Ember.inject;

export default Ember.Component.extend ({
   message: inject.service(),
   text: 'This is test file',
   actions: {
      pressMe: function () {
         var testText = this.get('start').thisistest();
         this.set('text', testText);
      }
   }
});

Create a service, which can be made available in the different parts of the application. Use the following command to create the service −

ember generate service emberactionmessage

Now open the emberactionmessage.js service file, which is created under app/services/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Service.extend ({
   isAuthenticated: true,
   thisistest: function () {
      return "Welcome to Tutorialspoint";
   }
});

Next create an initializer, which configures the application as it boots. The initializer can be created by using the following command −

ember generate initializer init

Open the init.js initializer file, which is created under app/initializers/ with the following code −

export function initialize(app) {
   app.inject('component', 'start', 'service:emberactionmessage');
}

export default {
   name: 'init',
   initialize: initialize
};

Open the ember-actions.hbs file created under app/templates/components/ and enter the following code −

<button {{action "pressMe"}}>Click here to see the text</button><br>  
<h4>{{text}}</h4>
{{yield}}

Create the application.hbs file and add the following code −

{{ember-actions}}
{{outlet}} 

Output

Run the ember server; you will receive the following output −

Next click on the button, it will display the text from the service page as shown in the screenshot below −
