This does several things to make improving the search experience easier
moving forwards:
1. Separate searching off from filtering. 'Searching' can be thought of
as specifically 'text searching' whilst filtering is more of a
boolean/flag search.
2. Decouple the actual searching functionality to almost pure,
isolated / unit testable units and unit test. (I still import embers get
which, once I upgrade to 3.5, I shouldn't need)
3. Searching rules are now configurable from the outside, i.e. not
wrapped in Controllers or Components.
4. General searching itself now can use an asynchronous approach based on
events. This prepares for future possibilities of handing off the
searching to a web worker or elsewhere, which should aid in large scale
searching and prepares the way for other searching methods.
5. Adds the possibility of have multiple searches in one
template/route/page.
Additionally, this adds a WithSearching mixin to aid linking the
searching to ember in an ember-like way in a single place. Plus a
WithListeners mixin to aid with cleaning up of event listeners on
Controller/Component destruction.
Post-initial work I slightly changed the API of create listeners:
Returning the handler from a `remover` means you can re-add it again if you
want to, this avoids having to save a reference to the handler elsewhere
to do the same.
The `remove` method itself now returns an array of handlers, again you
might want to use these again or something, and its also more useful
then just returning an empty array.
The more I look at this the more I doubt that you'll ever use `remove`
to remove individual handlers, you may aswell just use the `remover`
returned from add. I've added some comments to reflect this, but they'll
likely be removed once I'm absolutely sure of this.
I also added some comments for WithSearching to explain possible further
work re: moving `searchParams` so it can be `hung` off the
controller object
In 858b05fc31 (diff-46ef88aa04507fb9b039344277531584)
we removed encoding values in pathnames as we thought they were
eventually being encoded by `ember`. It looks like this isn't the case.
Turns out sometimes they are encoded sometimes they aren't. It's complicated.
If at all possible refer to the PR https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/5206.
It's related to the difference between `dynamic` routes and `wildcard` routes.
Partly related to this is a decision on whether we urlencode the slashes within service names or not. Whilst historically we haven't done this, we feel its a good time to change this behaviour, so we'll also be changing services to use dynamic routes instead of wildcard routes. So service links will then look like /ui/dc-1/services/application%2Fservice rather than /ui/dc-1/services/application/service
Here, we define our routes in a declarative format (for the moment at least JSON) outside of Router.map, and loop through this within Router.map to set all our routes using the standard this.route method. We essentially configure our Router from the outside. As this configuration is now done declaratively outside of Router.map we can also make this data available to href-to and paramsFor, allowing us to detect wildcard routes and therefore apply urlencoding/decoding.
Where I mention 'conditionally' below, this is detection is what is used for the decision.
We conditionally add url encoding to the `{{href-to}}` helper/addon. The
reasoning here is, if we are asking for a 'href/url' then whatever we
receive back should always be urlencoded. We've done this by reusing as much
code from the original `ember-href-to` addon as possible, after this
change every call to the `{{href-to}}` helper will be urlencoded.
As all links using `{{href-to}}` are now properly urlencoded. We also
need to decode them in the correct place 'on the other end', so..
We also override the default `Route.paramsFor` method to conditionally decode all
params before passing them to the `Route.model` hook.
Lastly (the revert), as we almost consistently use url params to
construct API calls, we make sure we re-encode any slugs that have been
passed in by the user/developer. The original API for the `createURL`
function was to allow you to pass values that didn't need encoding,
values that **did** need encoding, followed by query params (which again
require url encoding)
All in all this should make the entire ember app url encode/decode safe.
