Ember-Data how to know when an entity is fetched

What is the best way to know when an entity has been retrieved from the remote store in ember-data?

I need to make a call to retrieve data but I need some values from a fetched ember-data object.

At the moment I am using this approach but I am sure there is a better way.

contactLoaded: function(){
  if(!this.getPath('contact.isLoaded')){
    return;
  }

  //make call
}.observes('App.contact.isLoaded')

You can also do

model.one('didLoad', function() {
   alert("I LOADED!";
});

Substitute didLoad with didCreate, didUpdate, etc., depending on the async event you're looking for.

one will watch the object for the didLoad event to fire and won't fire more than once. Use on to keep watching.

I am fearing it is the only way to achieve your goal, as of today... :-/
