Ember Data Challenge: Creating and Deleting Records

Link to Challenge: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/emberjs/ember-data/challenge-creating-and-deleting-records

Challenge Task 1 of 1

Update the NewKittenController controller to save a new Kitten in the Animal Shelter database.

Spent a lot of time looking for this one because 'NewKittenController' doesn't come up in a search of the forum..

The thread that gives a clue to the answer is this one: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/save-button

..which has this line:

newPost.save();

What (you might ask) does this have to do with saving a new kitten - nothing, actually!

(that is what is so maddening about finding the answer to this challenge):

AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('kittens', {path: '/'});
  this.resource('kitten', {path: 'kittens/:kitten_id'});
});

var kittens = [
  {id: '1', name: 'Meowzer', cutenessRating: 2},
  {id: '2', name: 'Squeaky', cutenessRating: 3},
  {id: '3', name: 'Fluffy', cutenessRating: 1}
]

AnimalShelter.NewKittenController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  actions: {
    save: function() {
      var newKitten = this.store.createRecord('kitten', {
        name: this.get('name'),
        furColor: this.get('furColor')
      });
      // your code goes here
      newKitten.save();
      this.transitionToRoute('kittens');
    }
  }
});

See the line:

 newKitten.save();

--adding that line is all you need to pass.

Please don't waste as much time on this as I did. :wink:

By the way - despite the title of this challenge you learn NOTHING about deleting records, only creating new ones.
