This means the component instance is created in the template, meaning
properties can be overridden in the view helper. It also just makes
more sense - a view instance doesn’t need to exist until it is rendered
in the template.
Record when the discussion was renamed, from what, and by whom.
Information is stored in the `content` field as a serialised JSON
object because proper polymorphism will be too difficult with Ember
Data and especially when extensions try to add new post types.
HTMLBars goodness! Since there was some breakage and a lot of fiddling
around to get some things working, I took this opportunity to do a big
cleanup of the whole Ember app. I accidentally worked on some new
features too :3
Note that the app is still broken right now, pending on
https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/10401
Cleanup:
- Restructuring of components
- Consolidation of some stuff into mixins, cleanup of some APIs that
will be public
- Change all instances of .property() / .observes() / .on() to
Ember.computed() / Ember.observer() / Ember.on() respectively (I think
it is more readable)
- More comments
- Start conforming to a code style (2 spaces for indentation)
New features:
- Post hiding/restoring
- Mark individual discussions as read by clicking
- Clicking on a read discussion jumps to the end
- Mark all discussions as read
- Progressively mark the discussion as read as the page is scrolled
- Unordered list post formatting
- Post permalink popup
Demo once that Ember regression is fixed!
- Write CSS for everything, update templates.
- Refactor discussion view. Stream is split into two components
(content and scrubber) which have their own responsibilities.
- Extract pane functionality into a mixin.
- Implement global “back button” system. You give a “paneable” target
to the application controller, the back button will modulate its
pane-related properties as necessary, and call an action when the
button is clicked.
- Extract welcome-hero into its own component.
- Lots of other general improvements/refactoring. The code is quite
well-commented so take a look!
