import EmberObject from '@ember/object';

const Person = EmberObject.extend({
  helloWorld() {
    alert(`Hi, my name is ${this.get('name')}`);
  }
});

let tom = Person.create({
  name: 'Tom Dale'
});

tom.helloWorld(); // alerts "Hi, my name is Tom Dale".

create will call the init function if defined during AnyObject.extend

If no arguments are passed to create, it will not set values to the new instance during initialization:

let noName = Person.create();
noName.helloWorld(); // alerts undefined

NOTE: For performance reasons, you cannot declare methods or computed properties during create. You should instead declare methods and computed properties when using extend.
