ember-run-decorators

This addon utilizes the proposed decorator spec to provide commonly used Ember.run methods as decorators.

Available run decorators include:

• bind
• debounce *
• throttle *
• later *

* Async decorators automatically get cleaned up on destroy or willDestroyElement with run.cancel to prevent nasty bugs and calling set on a destroyed object errors in your code.

Heavily inspired by rwjblue/ember-computed-decorators.

Installation

ember install ember-run-decorators

Usage

Setup

// ember-cli-build.js
var app = new EmberApp({
  babel: {
    optional: ['es7.decorators']
  }
});

Decorators

bind

Allows you to specify which context to call the specified function in while adding the execution of that function to the Ember run loop. This ability makes this method a great way to asynchronously integrate third-party libraries into your Ember application.

NOTE: Using the decorator form of bind will always maintain the context of the object the decorated function is a member of.

import Ember from 'ember';
import { bind } from 'ember-run-decorators';

const { Component } = Ember;

export default Component.extend({
  isShowing: true,

  @bind
  hideOnESC(e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 27) {
      this.set('isShowing', false);
    }
  },

  didInsertElement() {
    window.addEventListener('keyup', this.hideOnESC, false);
  },

  willDestroyElement() {
    window.removeEventListener('keyup', this.hideOnESC, false);
  }
});

debounce

Delay calling the target method until the debounce period has elapsed with no additional debounce calls. If debounce is called again before the specified time has elapsed, the timer is reset and the entire period must pass again before the target method is called.

import Ember from 'ember';
import { debounce } from 'ember-run-decorators';

const { Component } = Ember;

export default Component.extend({
  @debounce(150)
  onScroll(e) {
    // Cool infinite scroll code...
  },

  didInsertElement() {
    window.addEventListener('scroll', this.debouncedOnScroll);
  },

  willDestroyElement() {
    window.removeEventListener('scroll', this.debouncedOnScroll);
  }
});

throttle

Ensure that the target method is never called more frequently than the specified spacing period. The target method is called immediately.

import Ember from 'ember';
import { throttle } from 'ember-run-decorators';

const { Component } = Ember;

export default Component.extend({
  isSaved: false,

  @throttle(500)
  click(e) {
    this.send('save');
  },

  actions: {
    save() {
      this.set('isSaved', true);
    }
  }
});

later

Invokes the passed target/method and optional arguments after a specified period of time.

import Ember from 'ember';
import { later } from 'ember-run-decorators';

const { Component } = Ember;

export default Component.extend({
  isShowing: true,

  @later(300)
  didClose() {
    this.attrs.didClose();
  },

  actions: {
    close() {
      this.didClose();
      this.set('isShowing', false);
    }
  }
});
