Easy integration for Chosen v1.1.0 with Ember v1.5+. It goes without saying that you need Chosen and Ember for this to work.

Ember-CLI integration is coming soon but, for now, grab ember-chosen.js and templates/chosen-select.hbs.

Template:

{{chosen
  content=businessesArray
  optionLabelPath='content.name'
  optionValuePath='content.id'
  prompt='Choose...'
  selection=business // Use business.content if item is gotten via a promise
}}

Controller (or view or route):

Obviously you can bind the content array however you please, but below is an example:

App.FormController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
  businessesArray: Em.A(),
  
  init: function() {
    this.setBusinessesArray();
    this._super();
  },
  
  setBusinessesArray: function() {
    var _this = this;
    
    // Set the array
    _this.get('controller.store').find('business').then(function(businesses) {
      _this.set('businessesArray', businesses);
    }
  },
})

The result is that the business property on your controller content will be the business selected using the chosen component. When you run this.get('content').save() in your controller, it will save the new information.

All Em.Select properties, methods, etc, are available to use with the Chosen View.
