Rough idea for passing along events in a component to component methods

gistfile1.coffee

AR.AgentrunPickadateComponent = Ember.Component.extend

  events: [
    'onOpen',
    'onClose',
    'onRender',
    'onStart',
    'onStop',
    'onSet'
  ]

  onSet: (object) ->
    @set "value", moment(object.select)

  didInsertElement: ->
    self = @
    value = new Date()
    options = {}

    for event in @events
      evCallback = self[event]
      if evCallback then options[event] = evCallback.bind(@)

    $picker = @$().find('.datepicker').pickadate(options)
    picker = $picker.pickadate('picker')
    picker.set('select', value)
