why does my emberjs model throw an exception when i try calling deleteRecord on it

Question

I am doing this tutorial and just when i thought i got everything right, I came across this exception

 JavaScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'deleteRecord'

in this context

removeTodo: function () {
        var todo = this.get('model');
        todo.deleteRecord();
        todo.save();
    }

i trying to follow the getting started tutorial on the Ember.js site .

Answer 1

It would appear that your model isn't actually a DS.Model (assuming that you're using Ember Data). Unless you're model is an actual record I'm ember, you won't be able to call delete record.
