Getting properties of Query Find

In prototyping a login functionality to my ember app, I am using the route to make a query to the store based on a given username. If that username is not found, my API returns an object with a message property. Here is that route: 

App.LoginRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    actions: {
        getUsername: function(username){
            this.store.find('user', {username: username}).then(function(user){
            var eid = user.get('eid');
            console.log(eid);
            if (eid) {
                self.controller.send('transition', "index");
                }
            else {
                self.controller.set('model', "Oops! That's not right.");}
                });
            }
    }
});`

If the username exists in the databse, the API will send back user object. It loads into the store just fine if the username exists, I can see the record under Data in Ember Inspector. However, I cannot figure out how to get the properties of that user object.

In the .then I am passing the returned information, and attempting to call .get on that, but that always returns undefined.

What is the proper way to get the properties of whatever is returned from a store.find('store', {query})?

find by query returns a collection.

this.store.find('user', {username: username}).then(function(userCollection){
  // this would be the user if it existed
  var user = userCollection.get('firstObject');
  self.controller.send('transition', "index");
});

You probably should be returning a 404 error code instead of a valid response when the user doesn't exist, then hit the failure portion of the promise.

this.store.find('user', {username: username}).then(function(userCollection){
  // this would be the user if it existed
  var user = userCollection.get('firstObject');
  self.controller.send('transition', "index");
}, function(){
  // failure happened
  self.controller.set('model', "Oops! That's not right.");}
});
