Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing large client-side web applications which are based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Ember.js is one of the most widely used front-end application frameworks. It is made to speed up development and increase productivity. Currently, it is utilized by a large number of websites, including Square, Discourse, Groupon, Linked In, Live Nation, Twitch, and Chipotle.

The init() method is a method that is invoked whenever the object is instantiated. By default, this method does nothing we have to override as per our use.

Syntax:

init(){ // Algorithm };

Steps to Install and Run Ember.js:

Step 1: To run the following examples you will need to have an ember project with you. To create one, you will need to install ember-cli first. Write the below code in the terminal:

npm install ember-cli

Step 2: Now you can create the project by typing in the following piece of code:

ember new <project-name> --lang en

Step 3: To start the server, type:

ember serve

Example 1: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:

ember generate route init1

app/routes/init1.js

Javascript




import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
 
export default class FruitsRoute extends Route {
    fruits = [
        {
            'name': 'Lady Finger',
            'isFruit': false,
            'color': 'green'
        },
        {
            'name': 'Brinjal',

    item3;
 
    model() {
        this.set('[]', this.fruits)
        return this;
    }
    setupController(controller, model) {
        super.setupController(controller, model);
        controller.set('fruits', this.fruits);
    }
}

    }
});
 
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    actions: {
        removeItem(data) {
            let temp = this.fruits.find((item) => item.color == data)
            this.fruits.set('[]', this.fruits.without(temp));
        },
        insertItem(data, data1, data2) {
            let temp = Fruit.create({
                name: data,
                isFruit: data1,
