Ember route model function called before app controller init

I've noticed that when doing a full reload, my routes model function will fire prior to the application controller init method.

If this is by design, how can I execute code (to set up my outbound Ajax requests) prior to model being called?

Refer: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/15495#issuecomment-315464778

Normally, Route model is executed before the controller. However, maintainers tell that there has never been a guarantee that controllers would be created in any specific order related to the route structure.

Note: I faced this scenario of controller init called before route model when there is query parameters associated with the route URL(v3.22)

The hooks associated with the model (beforeModel, model and afterModel) get called before the route's controller is instanciated.

Perhaps beforeModel is what you are looking for http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Route.html#method_beforeModel

According to the documentation, beforeModel is good for

Any async operations need to occur first before the model is attempted to be resolved.

You should use ember's initializers in you want to load some data from the server/do some set up before application controller's init gets called, the code in your initializers gets executed before anything else happens in your ember app. If you are using ember-cli, there will be a folder at app/initializers where your initializer code should go.
