emberjs component form action - authentication

Question

I'm trying to authenticate against DRF token.
I've successfully been able to login using an auth app I have created.
I thought I'd be slick and make the login form a component.
Since making it a component however, I'm not able to login and I get an Assertion failure.
My templates/components/auth-login.hbs template looks like so ...
<form class='navbar-form navbar-right' {{action 'authenticate' on='submit'}}>
<div class="form-group">
{{input id='identification' placeholder='Username' type='text' class='form-control' value=identification}}
{{input id='password' placeholder='Password' type='password' class='form-control' value=password}}
</div>
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
I also have app/controllers/auth-login.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
session: Ember.inject.service(),
actions: {
authenticate: function() {
var credentials = this.getProperties('identification', 'password'),
authenticator = 'authenticator:jwt';
this.get('session').authenticate(authenticator, credentials).catch((reason) => {
this.set('errorMessage', reason.error || reason);
});
}
}
});
It works as an app but not as a component.
If I blank the template, and use the auth route/app instead, it works peachy.

Option 1. You need to define action authenticate in actions hash of auth-login component.
Option 2. You can keep identification, password properties and authenticate action in controller. and include the auth-component like below,
app/templates/application.hbs
{{auth-component identification=identification password=password authenticate="authenticate" }}
app/components/auth-component.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Component.extend({
actions: {
authenticate() {
this.sendAction('authenticate'); //this will call corresonding controller authenticate method through bubbling.
}
}
});
app/controllers/application.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
session: Ember.inject.service(),
actions: {
authenticate: function() {
var credentials = this.getProperties('identification', 'password'),
authenticator = 'authenticator:jwt';
this.get('session').authenticate(authenticator, credentials).catch((reason) => {
this.set('errorMessage', reason.error || reason);
});
}
}
});
