how to do binding in ember from some other class but the content is in another class with Ember.Select view

Question

I have used the following code:

{{view Ember.Select contentBinding="ResAdmin.adminController.priceCategories"
                    valueBinding="selectedRestaurant.PriceCategoryID"
                    optionLabelPath="content.name"
                    optionValuePath="content.id"}}

for creating select list...

from the collection:

priceCategories: [
  {
    id: '92E9862E-DAE5-4CC8-ACDF-7E6418641F7D',
    name: "$"
  }, {
    id: '889C0E73-1587-41D5-8073-FD29FF76CF00',
    name: "$$"
  }, {
    id: '47A56B26-A64A-4967-A9F6-B9D69B2CA145',
    name: "$$$"
  }, {
    id: '417993DB-48BF-4BA9-BE0A-D6A53C6D8325',
    name: "$$$$"
  }
]

but i want to bind it to "selectedRestaurant.PriceCategoryID" Ember object..

How can i do it..

You have to change valueBinding to selectionBinding, see http://jsfiddle.net/EwGbM/

Handlebars:

{{view Ember.Select contentBinding="ResAdmin.adminController"
    selectionBinding="ResAdmin.adminController.selection"
    optionLabelPath="content.name" }}

Selected: {{ResAdmin.selectedRestaurant.priceCategory.name}}

JS:

ResAdmin = Ember.Application.create({});

ResAdmin.adminController = Ember.ArrayProxy.create({
    selection: null,
    content: [
        {
        id: '92E9862E-DAE5-4CC8-ACDF-7E6418641F7D',
        name: "$"},
    {
        id: '889C0E73-1587-41D5-8073-FD29FF76CF00',
        name: "$$"},
    {
        id: '47A56B26-A64A-4967-A9F6-B9D69B2CA145',
        name: "$$$"},
    {
        id: '417993DB-48BF-4BA9-BE0A-D6A53C6D8325',
        name: "$$$$"}
    ],
    getObjectById: function(id) {
        return this.get('content').filterProperty('id', id).get('firstObject');
    }
});

ResAdmin.selectedRestaurant = Ember.Object.create({
    priceCategoryBinding: 'ResAdmin.adminController.selection'
});

var defaultItem = ResAdmin.adminController.getObjectById('47A56B26-A64A-4967-A9F6-B9D69B2CA145');
ResAdmin.adminController.set('selection', defaultItem);
