ember.js - associating a model with a route in emberjs -

as understad, template in emberjs gets it's data controller. so, it's controller's job hold of model data , present template.

the docs here associate model route this:

app.favoritesroute = ember.route.extend({   model: function() {     // model array of of posts     return app.post.find();   } }); 

in case , arraycontroller automatically generated.

however, there's setupcontroller function. so, can :

app.favoritesroute = ember.route.extend({   setupcontroller: function(controller) {     controller.set('model', app.post.find());   } }); 

as first example given here do?

do 2 ways same thing?

do 2 ways same thing?

almost. in both cases controller's content property set result of app.post.find(). , both work.

that said, using model hook preferred way this. if model hook returns promise, router wait resolve before moving on. not case setupcontroller hook. want avoid async setupcontroller hook.
