  didInsertElement: function() {
    // any JS inits that need to happen
    // universally can be called here.
    //
    // For example if you need to register
    // bootstrap dropdowns, you can do something
    // like $('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown()
    // from here and it will work everywhere
    // there is a dropdown.
  	alert('yay, dom is ready!')
  }
