A list of boot-time configuration options for customizing the behavior of an Ember.ApplicationInstance.

This 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 the desired options into methods that require one of these options object:

MyApp.visit("/", { location: "none", rootElement: "#container" });

Not all combinations of the supported options are valid. See the documentation on Ember.Application#visit for the supported configurations.

Internal, experimental or otherwise unstable flags are marked as private.

If present, render into the given Document object instead of the global window.document object.

In practice, this is only useful in non-browser environment or in non-interactive mode, because Ember's jQuery dependency is implicitly bound to the current document, causing event delegation to not work properly when the app is rendered into a foreign document object (such as an iframe's contentDocument).

In non-browser mode, this could be a "Document-like" object as Ember only interact with a small subset of the DOM API in non- interactive mode. While the exact requirements have not yet been formalized, the SimpleDOM library's implementation is known to work.

Run in a full browser environment.

When this flag is set to false, it will disable most browser-specific and interactive features. Specifically:

• It does not use jQuery to append the root view; the rootElement (either specified as a subsequent option or on the application itself) must already be an Element in the given document (as opposed to a string selector).

• It does not set up an EventDispatcher.

• It does not run any Component lifecycle hooks (such as didInsertElement).

• It sets the location option to "none". (If you would like to use the location adapter specified in the app's router instead, you can also specify { location: null } to specifically opt-out.)

Interactive mode: whether we need to set up event delegation and invoke lifecycle callbacks on Components.

Provide a specific instance of jQuery. This is useful in conjunction with the document option, as it allows you to use a copy of jQuery that is appropriately bound to the foreign document (e.g. a jsdom).

This is highly experimental and support very incomplete at the moment.

If present, overrides the router's location property with this value. This is useful for environments where trying to modify the URL would be inappropriate.

If present, overrides the application's rootElement property on the instance. This is useful for testing environment, where you might want to append the root view to a fixture area.

In non-browser mode, because Ember does not have access to jQuery, this options must be specified as a DOM Element object instead of a selector string.

See the documentation on Ember.Applications's rootElement for details.

Disable rendering completely.

When this flag is set to true, it will disable the entire rendering pipeline. Essentially, this puts the app into "routing-only" mode. No templates will be rendered, and no Components will be created.
