ember.js - Emberjs Set CurrentUserController from LoginController -

i have currentuser objectcontroller :

app.currentusercontroller = em.objectcontroller.extend({   username: 'test',   email : 'test@test.com' }) 

when user logs in, want set currentuser's username, email etc:

app.logincontroller = ember.controller.extend({ needs: 'currentuser', login: function(){     var self = this;     var data = this.getproperties('username', 'password');     self.set('errormessage', null);     $.ajax({       type: "post",       url: url,       mimetype: "text/xml",       success: function(response){         app.currentuser.set('username', data.username);         app.currentuser.set('email', data.email);         self.transitiontoroute('home');       },       error: function(){          self.set('errormessage', true);       }     });        }    }); 

i've tried above no luck.

there no app.currentuser instance available.

app.currentuser.set('username', data.username); 

since using 'needs', can access controller this:

this.get('controllers.currentuser') 

make sure 'this' correctly binded in xhr response.

finally, since ember getters/setters supports 'paths', can set properties this:

this.set('controllers.currentuser.email', data.email);
