Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:

• Use Ember CLI
• In general, replace views + controllers with components
• Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use Ember.Controller instead of Ember.ArrayController or Ember.ObjectController
• Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an Ember.Controller, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.

// <rant> to actual rant

var rants = document.getElementsByTagName('rant');
for (i=0;i<rants.length;i++) {
  var rant = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(rants[i].innerHTML);
  window.speechSynthesis.speak(rant);

Cross-browser implementation of navigator.msLaunchUri

Microsoft’s navigator.msLaunchUri method only works in Internet Explorer on Windows 8. Therefore I came up with a (nearly) cross-browser implementation that uses the native msLaunchUri when it’s available and falls back to adventurous hacks when running in other browsers.

Description

launchUri (uri, successCallback, noHandlerCallback, unknownCallback)

Problem

While building a JavaScript single page app that acts as a front-end to multiple backend servers, even if they are on the same host as the web app - but on different ports, you come across CORS issues.

Solution

Use a simple node.js + hapi.js server to:

1. Serve your static single page app
2. Act as proxy to the backend servers
