Ember.js: Get url string to a model instance using its route

I have a Book model instance and would like to get a href string to it given its route. Eg:

someEmberJSMethod('book.edit', aBookInstance) #=> "/books/12/edit"

Given the route:

@resource "books", ->
    @route "edit", path: "/:book_id/edit"

I tried looking at the Ember.js source and how link-to helper generates the href given the route name and the instance, but didn't manage to find the answer.

While this doesn't answer the question, some might find it useful. A way of getting a simple show url to an object from the controller would be the following:

adapter = this.store.adapterFor('application')
adapter.buildURL('book', @get('id')) // => '/books/12

You can generate routes the same way the link view does by accessing the router:

App.Router.router.generate('book.edit', aBookInstance) # => '/books/12/edit'

You didn’t give the context of your application or where this request is happening. If you’re using Ember CLI and this is within a controller, for instance, you’ll have to look up the router with something like this:

@get('container').lookup('router:main')
