Deprecation Guide for Application controller router properties

until: 4.0.0

id: application-controller.router-properties

If you are reliant on the currentPath and currentRouteName properties of the ApplicationController, you can get the same functionality from the Router service.

To migrate, inject the Router service and read the currentRouteName off of it.

Before:

app/controllers/application.js

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import fetch from 'fetch';

export default Controller.extend({
  store: service('store'),

  actions: {
    sendPayload() {
      fetch('/endpoint', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify({
          route: this.currentRouteName
        })
      });
    }
  }
})

After:

app/controllers/application.js

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import fetch from 'fetch';

export default Controller.extend({
  store: service('store'),
  router: service('router'),

  actions: {
    sendPayload() {
      fetch('/endpoint', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify({
          route: this.router.currentRouteName
        })
      });
    }
  }
})
