Description
I recently used a <select> tag in an Ember form and wanted to do so without an addon. I discovered that there's no good source of information on how to do so properly. Reading forum posts and Googling ember select gives:
- Really old stuff on the
selectview - The ember-power-select and x-select addons
- A couple blog posts from 2015 and 2016 that I believe suggest the correct non-addon approach.
Using the <select> tag is super common, and it feels wrong to have to use addons or read blog posts to learn out how to use it.
I'd suggest adding a short explanation to the Input Helpers section; even though there isn't a helper for it, I think that's where most people would end up looking. I'd suggest using a shortened adaptation of Jen's post that is one of the top Google hits for ember select.
An alternative could be to create an RFC for making the x-select addon part of Ember, like the {{input}} and {{textarea}} helpers are. I believe including a built-in <select> helper was rejected a long time ago when the select view was deprecated, but I don't know the details.
If this is acceptable, I'll make a PR.
