/**
An instance of `Application` is the starting point for every Ember
application. 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.

views, set your `Application`'s `customEvents` property

the `autoboot` flag – disabling `autoboot` also implies opting-out of
globals mode support, although they are ultimately orthogonal concerns.
Some of the global modes features are already deprecated in 1.x. The
existence of this flag is to untangle the globals mode code paths from
the autoboot code paths, so that these legacy features can be reviewed
for deprecation/removal separately.
Forcing the (autoboot=true, _globalsMode=false) here and running the tests
would reveal all the places where we are still relying on these legacy
behavior internally (mostly just tests).

This is the autoboot flow:

2. Create an instance (or use the `__deprecatedInstance__` in globals mode)
3. Boot the instance by calling `instance.boot()`
4. Invoke the `App.ready()` callback
5. Kick-off routing on the instance
Ideally, this is all we would need to do:
```javascript
_autoBoot() {
this.boot().then(() => {
let instance = (this._globalsMode) ? this.__deprecatedInstance__ : this.buildInstance();
return instance.boot();
}).then((instance) => {
App.ready();
instance.startRouting();
});
}
```
Unfortunately, we cannot actually write this because we need to participate
in the "synchronous" boot process. While the code above would work fine on
the initial boot (i.e. DOM ready), when `App.reset()` is called, we need to
boot a new instance synchronously (see the documentation on `_bootSync()`
for details).
Because of this restriction, the actual logic of this method is located
inside `didBecomeReady()`.

Example:
```javascript

fetch('/auth-token')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
App.token = data.token;
App.advanceReadiness();
});
```
This allows you to perform asynchronous setup logic and defer
booting your application until the setup has finished.

to use the router for this purpose.

is disabled, this is automatically called when the first application instance is
created via `visit`.

We would like new code (like the `visit` API) to stop making this assumption,
so we created the asynchronous version above that returns a promise. But until
we have migrated all the code, we would have to expose this method for use
*internally* in places where we need to boot an app "synchronously".

2. Destroy all objects in the container
3. Create a new application container
4. Re-route to the existing url
Typical Example:
```javascript
import Application from '@ember/application';
let App;

Advanced Example:
Occasionally you may want to prevent the app from initializing during
setup. This could enable extra configuration, or enable asserting prior
to the app becoming ready.
```javascript
import Application from '@ember/application';
let App;
run(function() {
App = Application.create();
});
module('acceptance test', {
setup: function() {
run(function() {

}
});
test('first test', function() {

run(function() {

});
ok(true, 'something after app is initialized');
});

/**
Boot a new instance of `ApplicationInstance` for the current
application and navigate it to the given `url`. 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": "..." }
});
}
```
