I am building an ember.js/rails application. All the handlebar templates are stored in .js files. I'd like to understand how they get inserted into the DOM when the router changes state. Which part of ember does this? How do I tell ember to place templates?
Right now I can only get my templates appended to the <body>
I have a jsFiddle here.
I am aware of setting rootElement
on Ember.Application, however I want the app to control other elements of the page.
Handlebars / HTML:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="application">
<h2>I'm the content</h2>
<p>This should be inbetween the header & footer</p>
<p><strong>time</strong> {{time}}</p>
</script>
<header>
<h1>Application</h1>
</header>
<article>
<div id="content"></div>
</article>
<footer>
<a href="http://blog.deanbrundage.com" target="_blank">by Dean</a>
</footer>
JavaScript:
window.App = Ember.Application.create();
App.Router = Em.Router.extend({
initialState: 'root.home',
root: Em.Route.extend({
home: Em.Route.extend({
view: App.ApplicationView
})
})
});
App.ApplicationController = Em.Controller.extend({
time: Date()
});
App.ApplicationView = Em.View.extend({
templateName: 'application'
});
App.initialize();
