ember-cli-puppet

ember-cli-puppet

Turn components into puppets. Calling their actions or even functions from parent components / controllers.

Installation

ember install ember-cli-puppet

Usage

Assuming you mix in ember-cli-puppet/mixins/puppet into your-component, this addon allows you to do:

{{your-component onPuppet=(action (mut instance))}}

<button {{action (puppet-call instance 'func_name')}}>Call the func_name function of the component</button>
<button {{action (puppet-send instance 'act_name')}}>Invoke the act_name action of the component</button>

Alternatives

• ember-component-inbound-actions - okay but can lead to rerender issues
• Modifying parameters and having the component monitor for changes - pure ugliness

FAQ

• Doesn't this break the DDAU principle? Absolutely! Use at your own risk.
• When should I handle the offPuppet event? If you modify a controller's state during the onPuppet event, then it makes sense to clean up during offPuppet. You can skip that for components since they clean up after themselves once they get destroyed.
