EmberJS Sending a property to another controller

I'm trying to pass back a property to use in a view on another route. For exmaple, my contact/user/new controller is doing the following:

var newContact = this.get('store').createRecord('contact', contactData);
  newContact.save().then((contact) => {
    this.transitionToRoute('contacts');
    this.set('successMessage', 'You have successfully created a new contact!');
  })
  .catch((response) => {
    response.errors.forEach((error) => {
      this.set('errorMessages', error.message);
    });
  });

Everything works for me except that successMessage line.

this.set('successMessage', 'You have successfully created a new contact!');

I'd like to have it accessible on the customers template so I could do something like:

{{#if successMessage}}
  <div class="success-message">
    {{successMessage}}
  </div>
{{/if}}

If anyone has any ideas, that would be great.

You can declare dependencies between controllers using the needs attribute.

So you have to add this in your controller where you create your record :

needs: 'customers'   // Assuming you have a CustomersController somewhere

And you would set the message in your desired controller by doing :

this.set('controllers.customers.successMessage', 'Fancy message');
