Services: A Rumination on Introducing a New Role into the Ember Programming Model

Sounds good, I’ve got a few of these “services” in my app which are currently wired up in initializers and would be great for that to be automagic.

Eg.

  • queue - injected onto routes to publish background events to be run on the server
  • api - object to interact with our app’s REST API
  • store - using Fireplace, the same deal as Ember Data’s store

Another pattern I’ve been using to extract behaviour from the route is command objects which I talk about here which are kind of like services in that they go between the route and the model, but feel conceptually different in how they are used.
