javascript - How should I store current user details in EmberJS? -

i have emberjs application generated using ember-cli. i'm using simple-auth custom authenticator.

in authenticator, when user logs in want save details can use later. have following code:

authenticate: function(options) {   var self = this;   return new ember.rsvp.promise(function(resolve, reject){     api.user.login(options.username, options.password, true).done(function(data) {       // @todo: save current user       resolve(data.id);     }).fail(function() {       reject();     });   }); }, 

user data available in variable data.user.

i tried using ember.set('app.currentuser', data.user); it's not working. should do?

i think works easiest use initializer. theres several ways can resolve user, think easiest if pass user_email alongside grant token api

//initializers/session-user.js  import ember "ember"; import session "simple-auth/session"; export function initialize(container) {   session.reopen({     setcurrentuser: function() {       var accesstoken = this.get('access_token');       var self = this;         if (!ember.isempty(accesstoken)) {           return container.lookup('store:main').find('user', {             email: self.get('user_email')           }).then(function (users){             self.set('currentuser', users.get('firstobject'));           });         }       }.observes('access_token')    }); }  export default {   name: 'session-user',   before: 'simple-auth',   initialize: initialize }; 

check thread idea of came from: http://discuss.emberjs.com/t/best-practice-for-loading-and-persisting-current-user-in-an-authenticated-system/6987

and if using simple-auth > 0.8.0-beta.1 need adjust initializer
