Rendering an ember component

[Ramblurr]

I would like to render a custom component for the "item"s in selectize. Currently using ui-selectize I have to return a string of html to be used to render the item.

Is there anyway to render an ember component here? And of course get the full benefit of a component with actions, etc?

I think that would be ideal. I included the more cumbersome HTML string approach for now because it was easier but at some point I'd like move to this. In the mean time, however, I'd be happy to take a PR if you have the time.

@ksnyde Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

A related question, whem you use the existing Renders, the this of the render callback function is selectize. Is there no way to use the render feature but retain access to the this of my Ember controller?

[yankeeinlondon]

Don't have much time today, but if I remember right there are examples in the codebase of where the callbacks are bound to the this scope of the Ember component.

hi @Ramblurr, any progress?

[Ramblurr]

No, basically this is blocked by selectize/selectize.js#617. Selectize has to allow us to return DOM / jquery elements rather than HTML strings.

I see. Do you think using something like wormhole would be able to make this work in the interim?

[yankeeinlondon]

I think this underlying issue has now been fixed ... if you're still interested.

[yankeeinlondon]

I've got this working now if you're interested @Ramblurr

Thanks @ksnyde! I'll check it out, but we're in the process of migrating away from selectize.js to ember-power-select. It's much leaner than selectize, fully-emberfied, and much better for my sanity to develop against.

[yankeeinlondon]

Yeah I was just talking with Miguel about power-select and I think it hits all my use-cases too

Many thanks for maintaining this project by the way, it was incredibly helpful.
