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.
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!
