Using Ember.ObjectProxy for currentUser

initializers-current-user.js

// (Rename to current-user.js and place in /initializers)

// Ember now complains that you can't type inject a controller into a controller
// so use an Ember.ObjectProxy for currentUser instead.
//
// Ember.ObjectProxy allows you to set a content value, and will delegate
// all getters and setters to its content.

  initialize: function(container, application) {
    var store = container.lookup('store:main');
    var user = store.push('user', { id: 1, first_name: 'User', last_name: 'Name' });

    container.register('user:current', CurrentUser, { singleton: true });

    // .create() our singleton user and set its content
    var currentUser = container.lookup('user:current');
    currentUser.set('content', user);
