ember.select2.js

// Select box utilizing Select2 functionality that overrides Ember.Select;
// Define view in the same way that you would an Ember.Select view. 
// Additional attributes supported are: width, allowClear, and closeOnSelect;
// Example view:
//                {{ view App.Select2 
//                     viewName="fieldValueSelect2"
//		       prompt="Please select a value list"
//                     contentBinding="controller.fieldValuesLists" 
//                     optionLabelPath="content.name"
//                     optionValuePath="content.id"
//                     selectionBinding="content.allowedValuesList"
//                     required="" }}
// 
// To enable routing upon selection of an item from Select2 box, subclass the 
// Select2 view and add the actions to the valueDidChange event:
//
//  App.ContainterSelect2 = App.Select2.extend({
//	
//	// bind change in selected portfolio to trigger routing 
//	// to show portfolio or portfolio list if null
//    valueDidChange: Ember.observer(function() {
//        this._super();
//        var selection = this.get('selection');
//        if (selection) {
//            console.log('select2 value changed to ' + selection.get('name'));
//        	this.get('controller').transitionToRoute('container.show', selection);
//        } else {
//        	this.get('controller').transitionToRoute('container.index');
//        }
//    }, 'value')
//});
