Is there an after view change hook (much like didInsertElement)?

Question

Using the didInsertElement hook, I\'m able to do some jQuery plugin initialization that is needed. However, if a property changes, Ember re-renders the view, but do

Answer 1

Not sure if the question is still valid since it's been a while. but no answer was selected. I ran into a similar problem where I want to show a form based on a controller property. Once the form is displayed I would like to run some javascript to bind event handlers.

The Javascript however did not bind the event handlers properly since the elements were not displayed when the didInsertElement was triggered.

My solution is the following,

Controller & View

App.FormController  = Ember.Controller.extend({

    myViewVisible : false,

    actions : {

        toggleForm : function(){
            this.toggleProperty('myViewVisible');
            console.log( this.get('myViewVisible') );
        }

    }
});

App.FormView    = Ember.View.extend({

    isVisible:function(){
        this.rerender();
    }.property('controller.myViewVisible'),

    didInsertElement : function(){
        // Do JS stuff
    }

});

And the template

The view binds a property of the controller. Once that property changes the isVisible function kicks in and rerenders the view. Causing the didInsertElement to fire again and binding the JS code to the DOM elements that are now available.

Hope this helps.
