Class Ember.AutoLocation

Ember.AutoLocation will select the best location option based off browser support with the priority order: history, hash, none.

Clean pushState paths accessed by hashchange-only browsers will be redirected to the hash-equivalent and vice versa so future transitions are consistent.

Keep in mind that since some of your users will use HistoryLocation, your server must serve the Ember app at all the routes you define.

Browsers that support the history API will use HistoryLocation, those that do not, but still support the hashchange event will use HashLocation, and in the rare case neither is supported will use NoneLocation.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

App.Router.map(function() {
  this.route('posts', function() {
    this.route('new');
  });
});

App.Router.reopen({
  location: 'auto'
});

This will result in a posts.new url of /posts/new for modern browsers that support the history api or /#/posts/new for older ones, like Internet Explorer 9 and below.

When a user visits a link to your application, they will be automatically upgraded or downgraded to the appropriate Location class, with the URL transformed accordingly, if needed.
