change prefix to md- about ember-paper HOT 14 CLOSED

+1 for a md- prefix.

from ember-paper.

I think it'd also make sense to rename repo/bower package to ember-material for compatibility of projects already using ember-paper.

I would prefer the paper- prefix, guess md stands for material design and is used as a namespace, but sometimes you would find usages like col-md-10 in Bootstrap grid, it means medium. It would cause a little confuse using md- as a prefix, at least the first time i saw md, i took it for granted as a abbr of medium.

Interesting point.

I didn't even think of the Bootstrap grid thing. Even if it's not md- for the prefix, I would prefer something shorter than paper-.

Maybe this is crazy, but what if we have a default component prefix but allow that to be customizable?
Perhaps not easy to accomplish, but certainly desirable.

How difficult could this be to implement? @stefanpenner

I like the flexibility, but I think convention over customization is the way to go. Most of the other frameworks' implementations are "material" (e.g. react or angular).

@fouad Is the name of the project that important?
I was talking just about the prefix of the components.

A user can subclass the resolver and have it re-write paper- -> md-. We do not currently expose this easily to plugin authors, but maybe some future alias feature would be nice.

perhaps with @lukemelia's component helper Ember PR we could do this

FWIW i think it would be detrimental to have the prefix be dynamic...

I think it should be standard, as it means if people write plugins or sass themes for Ember Paper, they are drop-in-able rather than drop-in-able-and-find-all-and-replace-able

Yes, agreed. Pick one name md and mitigate the confusion and potential collision of two.

from ember-paper.

That makes sense.
So paper-, material- or md-?

md feels more "standard" than paper and not so long as material.

from ember-paper.

I like paper but md is shorter. Ultimately I use auto complete so both are likely the same keystrokes for me :p
