Ember Todo MVC

A client-side todo list, built using Ember

Example built from the Ember Getting Started Guide. The app can also been seen at TodoMVC under the Ember app section.

Notes and Takeaways

Very opinionated - for example: naming conventions.
Does a lot for you out of the box. Builds default routes and controllers, links up a default ArrayController.
Very similar to Rails MVC structure.
Client side MVC seems less intuitive - that is, it seems to be forced into a mold rather than fitting into it.
A lot of dependencies - jQuery, Handlebars & Ember, plus Ember-data for this project.
Forces namespacing, which helps keep code clean.
Todos and Todo controller is an odd nomenclature - doesn't make sense to me yet.
Adding custom actions like isCompleted is not intuitive - seems like these belong in the model, not the controllers.
Very powerful for creating slick UI components, like a clear completed button that only pops up once some todos are completed. This would be very hard to do in Rails.
