Class Ember.ViewTargetActionSupport

Ember.ViewTargetActionSupport is a mixin that can be included in a view class to add a triggerAction method with semantics similar to the Handlebars {{action}} helper. It provides intelligent defaults for the action's target: the view's controller; and the context that is sent with the action: the view's context.

Note: In normal Ember usage, the {{action}} helper is usually the best choice. This mixin is most often useful when you are doing more complex event handling in custom View subclasses.

For example:

App.SaveButtonView = Ember.View.extend(Ember.ViewTargetActionSupport, {
  action: 'save',
  click: function() {
    this.triggerAction(); // Sends the `save` action, along with the current context
                          // to the current controller
  }
});

The action can be provided as properties of an optional object argument to triggerAction as well.
