ObjectProxy

Ember.ObjectProxy forwards all properties not defined by the proxy itself to a proxied content object.

object = Ember.Object.create({
  name: 'Foo'
});

proxy = Ember.ObjectProxy.create({
  content: object
});

// Access and change existing properties
proxy.get('name')          // 'Foo'
proxy.set('name', 'Bar');
object.get('name')         // 'Bar'

// Create new 'description' property on `object`
proxy.set('description', 'Foo is a whizboo baz');
object.get('description')  // 'Foo is a whizboo baz'

While content is unset, setting a property to be delegated will throw an Error.

proxy = Ember.ObjectProxy.create({
  content: null,
  flag: null
});
proxy.set('flag', true);
proxy.get('flag');         // true
proxy.get('foo');          // undefined
proxy.set('foo', 'data');  // throws Error

Delegated properties can be bound to and will change when content is updated.

Computed properties on the proxy itself can depend on delegated properties.

ProxyWithComputedProperty = Ember.ObjectProxy.extend({
  fullName: function() {
    var firstName = this.get('firstName'),
        lastName = this.get('lastName');
    if (firstName && lastName) {
      return firstName + ' ' + lastName;
    }
    return firstName || lastName;
  }.property('firstName', 'lastName')
});

proxy = ProxyWithComputedProperty.create();

proxy.get('fullName');  // undefined
proxy.set('content', {
  firstName: 'Tom', lastName: 'Dale'
}); // triggers property change for fullName on proxy

proxy.get('fullName');  // 'Tom Dale'
