EmberJS- Computed Properties and Aggregate Data with @each

Computed Properties and Aggregate Data with @each

The computed property accesses all items in an array to determine its value. It makes simple add items to and remove the items from the array. The dependent key contains the special key @each and don't use nested form of @each. This updates the bindings and observer for the current computed property.

App.TodosController = Ember.Controller.extend ({
   todos:[
      Ember.Object.create({ isDone: true }),
      Ember.Object.create({ isDone: false }),
      Ember.Object.create({ isDone: true })
   ],
   remaining: function() {
      var todos = this.get('todos');
      return todos.filterBy('isDone', false).get('length');
   }.property('todos.@each.isDone')
});

In the above code, the todos.@each.isDone dependency key contains a special key @each. This key activates the observer when you add and remove the contents from the Todo. It will be updated in the remaining computed property.
