I am trying to set up my Router
to use "hashbang" URLs (#!
).
I tried this, but obviously it doesn't work:
App.Router.map(function() {
this.route("index", { path: "!/" });
this.route("otherState", { path: "!/otherState" });
});
Is this possible to do in Ember?
Teddy Zeenny's answer is mostly correct, and registerImplementation
seems to be a clean way to implement this. I tried to just edit his answer to make it fully answer the question, but my edit got rejected.
Anyway here is the full code to make Ember use hashbang URLs:
(function() {
var get = Ember.get, set = Ember.set;
Ember.Location.registerImplementation('hashbang', Ember.HashLocation.extend({
getURL: function() {
return get(this, 'location').hash.substr(2);
},
setURL: function(path) {
get(this, 'location').hash = "!"+path;
set(this, 'lastSetURL', "!"+path);
},
onUpdateURL: function(callback) {
var self = this;
var guid = Ember.guidFor(this);
Ember.$(window).bind('hashchange.ember-location-'+guid, function() {
Ember.run(function() {
var path = location.hash.substr(2);
if (get(self, 'lastSetURL') === path) { return; }
set(self, 'lastSetURL', null);
callback(location.hash.substr(2));
});
});
},
formatURL: function(url) {
return '#!'+url;
}
}));
})();
Then once you create your app you need to change the router to utilize the "hashbang" location implementation:
App.Router.reopen({
location: 'hashbang'
})
Extending Ember.HashLocation
would be the way to go.
For a clean implementation, you can do the following.
Ember.Location.registerImplementation('hashbang', Ember.HashLocation.extend({
// overwrite what you need, for example:
formatURL: function(url) {
return '#!' + url;
}
// you'll also need to overwrite setURL, getURL, onUpdateURL...
})
Then instruct your App Router to use your custom implementation for location management:
App.Router.reopen({
location: 'hashbang'
})
