如何从自定义HTML访问使用Ember-CLI构建的Ember应用程序的路由？

Question

My intention is to create a working island of richness in a PHP based web application built with Yii 2.

That means I have a route, say /cars/index , that is currently being rendered server-side by Yii. Now I want to move the Yii template code to an Ember template.

The Ember code is assembled using Ember-CLI's ember build . I have created softlinks from inside the Yii public web directory to the two Ember files dist/vendor.js and dist/app.js so that the code can be accessed from a web browser. For this storeConfigInMeta: false had to be set as depicted here: ember-cli meta config/environment file .

While I have successfully got Ember to run my code by using the ember-islands addon the goal is to keep the MVC structure, making use of the Ember application's models and controllers. This is to allow for a potential full shift to client-side rendering in the future, and it cannot be achieved with components only.

Unfortunately all I found when researching this topic was that I had to disable the creation of an Ember.Application and then create such an object by hand. This approach does not fit my use-case because that way I cannot make use of Model and Controller code in the server-side templates. Or can I?

Plus, how can we then route to /cars/index without letting the framework throw an error about Yii's route not matching this format (currently something like /index.php?r=cars/index )? ( Uncaught UnrecognizedURLError )

Try the ember-export-application-global add-on, it will allow you to access the application instance created with Ember CLI. This way you can access your Ember application directly from the server code.
