CMS with Ember nice URL slugs and link to helper

Hi,

I’m creating a small CMS with a Drupal backend (https://www.contentacms.org/) for Ember. In the backend I have a field to define a path for each page. I’m having trouble how to architect the routing in a bice way. I would like to avoid using page ID and just use the path defined in the backend.

this is a property I can access through my api as one string /foo/bar/baz.

What I’m having trouble is defining my router so I can use the path defined in the api. It works when the slug is simply /foo or /bar. But what do I do if the slug is /foo/bar or just `/´ or any other length.

This is what my router looks like currently.

Router.map(function() {

       this.route('page', { path: '/:path });

}

I’m also having trouble with the menu. How can I define a LinkTo helper that would work for any url length. {{#link-to 'page' item.alias}} only works for urls in the first level.

Also I’m wondering how I would approach converting internal links that are used inside the body field with link-to helpers. I’m also having the same issue in the menu.
