controllers.beta\.js

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { action } from '@ember/object';

export default Controller.extend({
  queryParams: ['number'],
  number: null,
  init() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    console.log('INIT: Beta Controller');
  },
  
  updateNumber: action(function(value) {
    this.set('number', value);
  })

controllers.gamma\.js

import Controller from '@ember/controller';

export default Controller.extend({

  }
});

helpers.eq\.js

import { helper } from '@ember/component/helper';

router\.js

import EmberRouter from '@ember/routing/router';
import config from './config/environment';

const Router = EmberRouter.extend({
  location: 'none',
  rootURL: config.rootURL
});

Router.map(function() {
  this.route('alpha');
  this.route('beta');
  this.route('gamma');

export default Router;

routes.alpha\.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';

export default Route.extend({
  model() {
    return { foo: 'foo' };
  }
});

routes.beta\.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';

export default Route.extend({
  model() {
    return { bar: 'bar' };
  }
});

routes.gamma\.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';

export default Route.extend({
  model() {
    return { baz: 'baz' };
  }
});

templates.alpha\.hbs

{{!--

* Controllers lifecycle can be confusing, init fires once
* "Do something everytime I load this page" is tricky
* Singleton with long-lived state
* Uncanny valley for Component i.e. JS + template
* Can only test with acceptance tests
* Query Params are the ONLY use case we need Controllers for
