optionTemplate and optionView not working anymore

[saarangsoltani]

optionTemplate,itemTemplate,optionCreateTemplate,optgroupHeaderTemplate,optgroupTemplate, optionView,itemView,optionCreateView,optgroupHeaderView and optgroupView

basically using the above-mentioned properties would cause ember throw an error saying view.renderToBuffer() is no longer available. we should find a workaround for this. Maybe get the string representation of rendered view this way:

      _getStringFromView:function(view){
           view.createElement();
           return view.element.outerHTML
      },

i can get it done if you want

I suggest using the function variants, currently rendering templates and views in an ad hoc manner is not exposed in a public API.

[saarangsoltani]

well createElement() is part of the public API : http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.View.html#method_createElement

[salzhrani]

the last two paragraphs. But Even if you get it running all you get back is the html of the view and not any behaviours attached to the view, so it could be less efficient. you can try if you like.

Well, there is another issue with function variants. Check this out.

{{ember-selectize
content=controller.items
optionValuePath="content.id"
optionLabelPath="content.selectize_display"
sortField= "display_name"
optionFunction=controller.offn
itemFunction=controller.itmf
}}

Now in controller, you have this:

offn: function(i){

    if (!Ember.isEmpty(i.label)){
        return i.label.toHTML();
    }
},
itmf: function(i){
    if (!Ember.isEmpty(i.label)) {
        return i.label.toHTML();
    }
},

So far all is ok. As you can see content is binded to controller.items ... but if this items is changed and you come back second time, the functions do not pick up the added items.

I tried making these properties dependent on items, but that means when a new item is added offn and itmf gets called and they do not have values for "i" parameter.

What is wrong here?

If only selectize could support DOM nodes... : selectize/selectize.js#617

[miguelcobain]

New progress, maybe: emberjs/ember.js#5534 (comment)

[saarangsoltani]

@miguelcobain seems like DOM nodes are now supported ? that pull-request is merged

[miguelcobain]

Looks like its still open: selectize/selectize.js#617

Is it possible to render component inside the itemFunction?

{{some-component text='Lorem'}}

[Ramblurr]

Rendering a component inside the itemFunction is exactly what I'm looking for, that or using itemView and passing a component, however that doesn't seem to be working right now.

Any tips on rendering a component from itemFunction?

The PR to allow DOM nodes was successfully merged yesterday 👍

[miguelcobain]

I was watching that thread. Great news!
In theory, we can now:

• make ember-cli-selectize install selectize master from bower (not master branch, but a fixed sha, of course)
• lookup a component/template and pass selectize the rendered DOM

I accept PR's and can offer some guidance at ember's slack, if needed.

Latest Selectize bower version doesn't include @topaxi's PR yet. Currently using my fork of selectize. Will change to selectize's when it bumps.

Awesome news!

Just curious, does this fully support component in the ember way? That is, with actions and computed properties? Or is it a one-time rendering of a component?
