DESCRIPTION
https://github.com/jayphelps/ember.string.interpolate Adds string interpolation as a computed property to Ember.js (i.e. no more unreadable getter concatenation). This was the slideshow for my Ember.js South California Meetup talk. Sample code: https://gist.github.com/jayphelps/8431829

THE “PROBLEM”
THE “PROBLEM”• Create a string from a mix of pre-defined and runtime strings.

• Concatenating a bunch of this.get(‘key’) calls with strings is menial but can quickly become difficult to read.

• Dollar sign ($), hash (#) are some of the most common tokens

• Dollar sign ($), hash (#) are some of the most common tokens
• For Ember, we can create a computed property that binds these keys to the values on the current context. (this)

• Accepts any valid JavaScript expression.
INLINE EXPRESSIONS
• Accepts any valid JavaScript expression.
• Identifiers are still looked up on context (not scope) so no need to use `this.key`
WHAT ELSE?
WHAT ELSE?• Resolves properties on global context (e.g. window) if not found on current, otherwise replaces with empty string.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
• NEVER call .interpolate() directly on un-safe strings.

• Un-safe means you don’t have 100% control over it. Usually, that means user-generated.
