Specify a form's record in Ember

Typically in Ember, you declare a form without having to declare the record it's editing. For instance (using Emblem.js):

form
  input type="text" value=body
  button click="submit"

This works because you've specified the model to be edited in your route. What if the form doesn't have a route associated with it, though? In this case, the form is encapsulated within a component. Within the component, I've created the record and can access it in template as comment. However, if I try something like this:

form comment
  input type="text" value=body
  button click="submit"

Then Ember errors. Is there some syntax I don't know about? Something like form record=comment?

Form itself has nothing to do with it. It's the context of template at that point. In your first example body is a property in scope in the template.

In your example the property isn't in the scope, but a property on the comment property.

In handlebars you can change the scope like so

{{#with comment}}
....
{{/with}}

In Emblem

 with comment
    form
      input type="text" value=body
      button click="submit"

Additionally if you don't need to change the scope, but just want to bind a property, you can do it like so

form
  input type="text" value=comment.body
  button click="submit"
