Making an Ajax request from an ember component. Had to set async to false in order to store the data in a persistent manner. Good to know.

emberajax.js

 export default Ember.Component.extend({
   
   //....//
   
 newClass: function() {

    var result;

    Ember.$.ajax({
      url: '/api/surveygizmodata/1',
      async: false,
      type: 'GET',
      success: function(data) {
        result = data;
      }
    });

    return result.completed_surveys + '/' + result.mentor_count

  }.property('newClass')
});
