Best way to initialize jQuery plugin in Ember 1.13.0

Hi, in Ember 1.13.0 views are deprecated but routable components aren’t out yet. In many cases in my app i’m using a routable views, in order initialize some jQuery plugins, related to the current route, using didInsertElement hook. I would like your opinion about how to handle this deprecation now. Rapping the didInsertElement hook element in a component you think it’s the only way to go for now? Thanks!

Yep, you’ve got the basic idea.

View are out, but don’t forget that components are an extension of views. So for example if I had an accordion menu that needed some kind of jquery accordion menu plugin to be initialized, I would make a component for my accordion menu, and then use didInsertElement in there as you would with a view.

And as a bonus, now you can reuse this component elsewhere!

Yep… eventually i walked down this road. Thanks @Chava
