Class CoreObject

Destroys an object by setting the isDestroyed flag and removing its metadata, which effectively destroys observers and bindings.

If you try to set a property on a destroyed object, an exception will be raised.

Note that destruction is scheduled for the end of the run loop and does not happen immediately. It will set an isDestroying flag immediately.

An overridable method called when objects are instantiated. By default, does nothing unless it is overridden during class definition.

Example:

const Person = Ember.Object.extend({
  init() {
    alert(`Name is ${this.get('name')}`);
  }
});

let steve = Person.create({
  name: 'Steve'
});

// alerts 'Name is Steve'.

NOTE: If you do override init for a framework class like Ember.View, be sure to call this._super(...arguments) in your init declaration! If you don't, Ember may not have an opportunity to do important setup work, and you'll see strange behavior in your application.

Returns a string representation which attempts to provide more information than Javascript's toString typically does, in a generic way for all Ember objects.

const Person = Ember.Object.extend()
person = Person.create()
person.toString() //=> "<Person:ember1024>"

If the object's class is not defined on an Ember namespace, it will indicate it is a subclass of the registered superclass:

const Student = Person.extend()
let student = Student.create()
student.toString() //=> "<(subclass of Person):ember1025>"

If the method toStringExtension is defined, its return value will be included in the output.

const Teacher = Person.extend({
  toStringExtension() {
    return this.get('fullName');
  }
});
teacher = Teacher.create()
teacher.toString(); //=> "<Teacher:ember1026:Tom Dale>"

Override to implement teardown.
