Ember.js Select for association with selected option

I was attempting to rebuild a Rails form in Ember. The form requires a select for an association, in this case a project belongs to client, so the select needs to present an options list of clients, with a selected option based on the project model’s client_id. Had the damnedest time figuring this out. This is how I accomplished it in the end.

Route file:

App.ProjectsNewRoute = Ember.Route.extend(
    setupController: (controller, model)->
      controller.set('model', model)
      controller.set('clients', @store.find('client'))
)

Template file:

{{view Ember.Select
  content=clients
  optionValuePath="content.id"
  optionLabelPath="content.name"
    selection=client
  class="form-control"}}
