Ember.js Modal Skeleton

This is a simple modal dialog component for Ember.js. Modals are created without a state change.

This has been tested with Ember.js v. 1.0.0-rc.3

Usage

1. Wrap the handlebar template that you want to be the modal's content with the view helper:

    {{#view App.ModalView}}  
      <h1>Hello!!!11!!!</h1>  
    {{#/view}}
   

2. Add an action to whatever element you want to open the modal dialog:

    <a {{action 'showSaveDialog'}} >Save me!!!</a>
   

3. Add an event handler on your application route to create and append the dialog:

    App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
      events: {
        showSaveDialog: function () {
          // assuming your view is call SaveDialogView and your template is called save_dialog
          var dialog = this.container.lookup('view:save_dialog');
          dialog.append();
        }
      }
    });
