It instantiates, initializes and coordinates the objects that make up your app. Each Ember app has one and only one `Application` object. Although Ember CLI creates this object implicitly, the `Application` class is defined in the `app/app.js`. You can define a `ready` method on the `Application` class, which will be run by Ember when the application is initialized. ```app/app.js export default class App extends Application { ready() { // your code here } } ``` Because `Application` ultimately inherits from `Ember.Namespace`, any classes you create will have useful string representations when calling `toString()`. See the `Ember.Namespace` documentation for more information. While you can think of your `Application` as a container that holds the other classes in your application, there are several other responsibilities going on under-the-hood that you may want to understand. It is also important to understand that an `Application` is different from an `ApplicationInstance`. Refer to the Guides to understand the difference between these. ### Event Delegation Ember uses a technique called _event delegation_. This allows the framework to set up a global, shared event listener instead of requiring each view to do it manually. For example, instead of each view registering its own `mousedown` listener on its associated element, Ember sets up a `mousedown` listener on the `body`. If a `mousedown` event occurs, Ember will look at the target of the event and start walking up the DOM node tree, finding corresponding views and invoking their `mouseDown` method as it goes. `Application` has a number of default events that it listens for, as well as a mapping from lowercase events to camel-cased view method names. For example, the `keypress` event causes the `keyPress` method on the view to be called, the `dblclick` event causes `doubleClick` to be called, and so on. If there is a bubbling browser event that Ember does not listen for by default, you can specify custom events and their corresponding view method names by setting the application's `customEvents` property: ```app/app.js import Application from '@ember/application'; export default class App extends Application { customEvents = { // add support for the paste event paste: 'paste' } } ``` To prevent Ember from setting up a listener for a default event, specify the event name with a `null` value in the `customEvents` property: ```app/app.js import Application from '@ember/application'; export default class App extends Application { customEvents = { // prevent listeners for mouseenter/mouseleave events mouseenter: null, mouseleave: null } } ``` By default, the application sets up these event listeners on the document body. However, in cases where you are embedding an Ember application inside an existing page, you may want it to set up the listeners on an element inside the body. For example, if only events inside a DOM element with the ID of `ember-app` should be delegated, set your application's `rootElement` property: ```app/app.js import Application from '@ember/application'; export default class App extends Application { rootElement = '#ember-app' } ``` The `rootElement` can be either a DOM element or a CSS selector string. Note that *views appended to the DOM outside the root element will not receive events.* If you specify a custom root element, make sure you only append views inside it! To learn more about the events Ember components use, see [components/handling-events](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/components/handling-events/#toc_event-names). ### Initializers To add behavior to the Application's boot process, you can define initializers in the `app/initializers` directory, or with `ember generate initializer` using Ember CLI. These files should export a named `initialize` function which will receive the created `application` object as its first argument. ```javascript export function initialize(application) { // application.inject('route', 'foo', 'service:foo'); } ``` Application initializers can be used for a variety of reasons including: - setting up external libraries - injecting dependencies - setting up event listeners in embedded apps - deferring the boot process using the `deferReadiness` and `advanceReadiness` APIs. ### Routing In addition to creating your application's router, `Application` is also responsible for telling the router when to start routing. Transitions between routes can be logged with the `LOG_TRANSITIONS` flag, and more detailed intra-transition logging can be logged with the `LOG_TRANSITIONS_INTERNAL` flag: ```javascript import Application from '@ember/application'; let App = Application.create({ LOG_TRANSITIONS: true, // basic logging of successful transitions LOG_TRANSITIONS_INTERNAL: true // detailed logging of all routing steps }); ``` By default, the router will begin trying to translate the current URL into application state once the browser emits the `DOMContentReady` event. If you need to defer routing, you can call the application's `deferReadiness()` method. Once routing can begin, call the `advanceReadiness()` method. If there is any setup required before routing begins, you can implement a `ready()` method on your app that will be invoked immediately before routing begins. @class Application @extends Engine @public */ class Application extends Engine { /** This creates a registry with the default Ember naming conventions.

Returns a `Promise` that resolves with the instance when the initial routing and rendering is complete, or rejects with any error that occurred during the boot process. When `autoboot` is disabled, calling `visit` would first cause the application to boot, which runs the application initializers. This method also takes a hash of boot-time configuration options for customizing the instance's behavior. See the documentation on `ApplicationInstance.BootOptions` for details. `ApplicationInstance.BootOptions` is an interface class that exists purely to document the available options; you do not need to construct it manually. Simply pass a regular JavaScript object containing of the desired options: ```javascript MyApp.visit("/", { location: "none", rootElement: "#container" }); ``` ### Supported Scenarios While the `BootOptions` class exposes a large number of knobs, not all combinations of them are valid; certain incompatible combinations might result in unexpected behavior. For example, booting the instance in the full browser environment while specifying a foreign `document` object (e.g. `{ isBrowser: true, document: iframe.contentDocument }`) does not work correctly today, largely due to Ember's jQuery dependency. Currently, there are three officially supported scenarios/configurations. Usages outside of these scenarios are not guaranteed to work, but please feel free to file bug reports documenting your experience and any issues you encountered to help expand support. #### Browser Applications (Manual Boot) The setup is largely similar to how Ember works out-of-the-box. Normally, Ember will boot a default instance for your Application on "DOM ready". However, you can customize this behavior by disabling `autoboot`. For example, this allows you to render a miniture demo of your application into a specific area on your marketing website: ```javascript import MyApp from 'my-app'; $(function() { let App = MyApp.create({ autoboot: false }); let options = { // Override the router's location adapter to prevent it from updating // the URL in the address bar location: 'none', // Override the default `rootElement` on the app to render into a // specific `div` on the page rootElement: '#demo' }; // Start the app at the special demo URL App.visit('/demo', options); }); ``` Or perhaps you might want to boot two instances of your app on the same page for a split-screen multiplayer experience: ```javascript import MyApp from 'my-app'; $(function() { let App = MyApp.create({ autoboot: false }); let sessionId = MyApp.generateSessionID(); let player1 = App.visit(`/matches/join?name=Player+1&session=${sessionId}`, { rootElement: '#left', location: 'none' }); let player2 = App.visit(`/matches/join?name=Player+2&session=${sessionId}`, { rootElement: '#right', location: 'none' }); Promise.all([player1, player2]).then(() => { // Both apps have completed the initial render $('#loading').fadeOut(); }); }); ``` Do note that each app instance maintains their own registry/container, so they will run in complete isolation by default. #### Server-Side Rendering (also known as FastBoot) This setup allows you to run your Ember app in a server environment using Node.js and render its content into static HTML for SEO purposes. ```javascript const HTMLSerializer = new SimpleDOM.HTMLSerializer(SimpleDOM.voidMap); function renderURL(url) { let dom = new SimpleDOM.Document(); let rootElement = dom.body; let options = { isBrowser: false, document: dom, rootElement: rootElement }; return MyApp.visit(options).then(instance => { try { return HTMLSerializer.serialize(rootElement.firstChild); } finally { instance.destroy(); } }); } ``` In this scenario, because Ember does not have access to a global `document` object in the Node.js environment, you must provide one explicitly. In practice, in the non-browser environment, the stand-in `document` object only needs to implement a limited subset of the full DOM API. The `SimpleDOM` library is known to work. Since there is no DOM access in the non-browser environment, you must also specify a DOM `Element` object in the same `document` for the `rootElement` option (as opposed to a selector string like `"body"`). See the documentation on the `isBrowser`, `document` and `rootElement` properties on `ApplicationInstance.BootOptions` for details. #### Server-Side Resource Discovery This setup allows you to run the routing layer of your Ember app in a server environment using Node.js and completely disable rendering. This allows you to simulate and discover the resources (i.e. AJAX requests) needed to fulfill a given request and eagerly "push" these resources to the client. ```app/initializers/network-service.js import BrowserNetworkService from 'app/services/network/browser'; import NodeNetworkService from 'app/services/network/node'; // Inject a (hypothetical) service for abstracting all AJAX calls and use // the appropriate implementation on the client/server. This also allows the // server to log all the AJAX calls made during a particular request and use // that for resource-discovery purpose. export function initialize(application) { if (window) { // browser application.register('service:network', BrowserNetworkService); } else { // node application.register('service:network', NodeNetworkService); } }; export default { name: 'network-service', initialize: initialize }; ``` ```app/routes/post.js import Route from '@ember/routing/route'; import { service } from '@ember/service'; // An example of how the (hypothetical) service is used in routes. export default class IndexRoute extends Route { @service network; model(params) { return this.network.fetch(`/api/posts/${params.post_id}.json`); } afterModel(post) { if (post.isExternalContent) { return this.network.fetch(`/api/external/?url=${post.externalURL}`); } else { return post; } } } ``` ```javascript // Finally, put all the pieces together function discoverResourcesFor(url) { return MyApp.visit(url, { isBrowser: false, shouldRender: false }).then(instance => { let networkService = instance.lookup('service:network'); return networkService.requests; // => { "/api/posts/123.json": "..." } }); } ``` @public @method visit @param url {String} The initial URL to navigate to @param options {ApplicationInstance.BootOptions} @return {Promise} */ visit(url: string, options: BootOptions): Promise; } export { Application as default, _loaded, onLoad, runLoadHooks }; }
