Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing large client-side web applications which is 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 action() method is used to pass the triggers for behavior between components and into the components from controllers.
Syntax:
{{ action FunctionName }}
Parameters:
- FunctionName: It is the name of the function which will trigger for the behavior.
Return Value: It doesn’t return anything.

export default class CompactComponent extends Component {
@action
Print(stud) {
alert(stud.join( '\n' ));
}
} |
app/components/compact.js
<h3>{{yield}} : </h3> <ul> {{ #each @m as |party|}}
<li>{{party}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul> <br /> <input type= "button"
id= "check-atIndex"
value= "Print Except this Item"

<Compact @m = {{array 'Chintu' 'Dadu' 'Rahul' 'Prem' 'Jivan' }}>
List of student
</Compact> {{outlet}} |
Output:
Example 2: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:
ember generate route array2
app/components/array2.js
import Component from '@glimmer/component' ;
import { action, addObjects } from '@ember/object' ;
export default class CompactComponent extends Component {
items = [ 'Oxygen' ,
'Source Code' ,
'Infine' ,
'Tenet' ,

'The Thing' ,
'A Quiet Place' ,
'The Invisible Man' ,

<h3>{{yield}} : </h3> <ul> {{ #each this.items as |party|}}
<li>{{party}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul> <br /> <input type= "button"
id= "check-atIndex"
value= "Print Except this Item"
{{action "remove" }}
/> |
app/controllers/array2.js
import Route from '@ember/routing/route' ;
export default class StudentsRoute extends Route {
p1 = 'Digital Camera' ;

setupController(controller, model) {
super .setupController(controller, model);
controller.set( 'p1' , this .p1);
controller.set( 'p2' , this .p2);
controller.set( 'p3' , this .p3);
controller.set( 'p4' , this .p4);
controller.set( 'p5' , this .p5);
controller.set( 'p6' , this .p6);
}
} |
