What's in an Ember -select- element? For a long time, the answer was two-way data binding, observers, and an obscured DOM, along with the challenges and bugs that went with it. Today, we can move beyond the ((view “select”)) helper and render this common UI element using native DOM and one-way data flow. Through the lens of the select element, both as standalone code and a re-usable component, we’ll learn how and why to use good Ember patterns like data-down, actions up (DDAU), plus some handy new Ember features like closure actions and the mut and ((get)) helpers.
