How to render component / helper by name from instance field?
Is there a way to use component from controller / view field
So instead of using
{{contact-select label="Label:" contacts=form.prop}}
// or
{{input-field label="Label:" contacts=form.prop}}
// or
{{datepicker-component label="Label:" contacts=form.prop}}
use some like
{{context.helperName label="Label:" contacts=form.prop}}
I am trying to use the ember-helpers-render-component component but it does not accept the component name from the property
You can use the helper component that was introduced in 1.11.0. Unfortunately, there was no built-in way to do this prior to 1.11.0. If you can't update, this thread can point you in the direction of writing your own helper.
Version 1.11 has a helper component
for earlier versions I found relative questions / answers: How to dynamically load ember components by name in template? how can I dynamically call a dynamic component using a variable?
For my purposes, I adapt the code like this
https://github.com/vvs-code/ember-render-helper
and now I can use in my template
{{renderComponent field.type _param=field.value label=field.label}}
to get the same as
{{input field.value label=field.label}}
PS> as variat - it is possible to get the code from https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/pull/10093 and put it directly into the project
