Ember.js pass arguments to action helper

How do I pass "simple" arguments to an action helper for example:

<li><a {{action markRead true target="controller"}}>Todo</a></li>

True would be the argument I want to pass.

This obviously does not work.

Does it have to be an ember path for this to work?

In recent versions of Ember (certainly >= 2.0), your example would be written as:

<li><a {{action "markRead" true target="controller"}}>Todo</a></li>

and true would be a boolean as you want it to.

Older versions of Ember would interpret true as a property path and attempt to resolve it's value.

maybe this has been added to ember.js recently, but you most certainly can pass parameters in action helpers

template:

{{action "downloadVideo" this false}}

route:

var ApplicationRoute = FooRoute.extend({

   actions: {
      downloadVideo: function(video, closeModal) {
        console.log("closeModal", closeModal); //outputs "closeModal false" if this didnt work it would output "closeModal undefined"
      }
   }
});
