ember-window-messenger

ember-window-messenger

This Ember addon is a lightweight postMessage client/server implementation. It is built on promises so the fetch and rpc methods can used directly in your route model() hooks.

For changelog see CHANGES.md

It supports JSON only messages for now

Usage

ember install ember-window-messenger

Examples

If dare, fire up the dummy app in this addon and test it out. Below are the basic examples, see dummy app for more.

Setup server on parent

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  server: Ember.inject.service('window-messenger-server'),

  beforeModel() {
    server.on('demo-data' (resolve, reject, query) => {
      resolve('Some data');
    });
  }
});

Fetch from parent

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  client: Ember.inject.service('window-messenger-client'),

  model() {
    return this.get('client').fetch('demo-data');
  }
});

Execute RPC call

Internally it is the same as fetch, but provides semantic sugar to your app code.

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  client: Ember.inject.service('window-messenger-client'),

  actions {
    runMe() {
      this.get('client').rpc('start-worker').then((response) => {
        // handle response here
      });
    }
  }
});
