ember-popout

Simple popout window management. One parent route can open several child popout routes. Actions from the child popout routes can be propagated to the parent route.

export default Ember.Route.extend(PopoutParentRouteMixin, {
  actions: {
    openPopout() {
      // first argument is an id used later for popout manipulation
      // second argument is the path for the popout
      // option argument is stringified and passed on to `window.open`
      this.get('popoutParent').open(1, 'popout', {
