<h2>Tasks + i18n</h2>

<p>
  Robust web apps feature most/all the following button/UI states:
</p>

{{button-table}}

<p>
  Here's a stab at an API to get a lot of the above
  states for free using tasks and ember-i18n.
</p>

<div class="expanded button-group">
  {{async-button t='button.add_user' task=myTask}}
  {{async-button t='button.add_user' class='secondary' 
                 task=myTask}}
  {{#async-button t='button.save_profile' task=myTask as |h|}}
    LOL, {{h.text.default}}
  {{/async-button}}
</div>

<div class="expanded button-group">
  {{async-button t='button.save_profile' task=otherTask}}
  {{async-button t='button.save_profile' class='secondary' 
                 task=otherTask}}
  {{async-button t='button.save_profile' task=otherTask}}
</div>

<p>
  Some niceties / possible conventions emerge:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    An "active" button is the one that you clicked that kicked off a task
  </li>
  <li>
    A "disabled" button is one that can't be clicked right now because
    the task that it would perform is already running (technically, the
    only difference between an "active" and "disabled" button is that
    you clicked the "active" one)
  </li>
  <li>
    Built-in cooldown periods to display success messages (and the success result from the task is passed to the success translation template)
  </li>
  <li>
    Graceful fallback to the most specific
    translation that describes the success action.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3>Composition</h3>

<p>
  The behavior of the buttons above is encapsulated
  in the async-button component, which itself
  delegates most of its "work" and configuration
  to two helpers: <strong>state-for</strong>
  and <strong>text-for</strong>
</p>

<h4>state-for</h4>

<p>
  This helper wraps a Task and exposes
  additional state that's useful for driving
  UI. In particular, the "cooldown" behavior
  is essentially a decoration on top of the
  underlying task, and the combined state
  of the task and various decorations is
  provided within the object returned from
  state-for. (I just now realized that this
  overlaps with the terminology in
  ember-state-services; pretend this has
  a different name).
</p>

<h4>text-for</h4>

<p>
  text-for takes a state-for object and
  translation locale path and returns a
  utility object with lots of properties
  for displaying text.
</p>

<p>
  The whole goal of all of this is to land
  on conventions that a) compose well with
  other established conventions and b) themselves
  decompose into reusable bits.
