Ember.ApplicationInstance Class packages/ember-application/lib/system/application-instance.js:24
PUBLIC
Extends: Ember.EngineInstance
Defined in: packages/ember-application/lib/system/application-instance.js:24
Module: ember-application
The ApplicationInstance encapsulates all of the stateful aspects of a
running Application.
At a high-level, we break application boot into two distinct phases:
- Definition time, where all of the classes, templates, and other dependencies are loaded (typically in the browser).
- Run time, where we begin executing the application once everything has loaded.
Definition time can be expensive and only needs to happen once since it is an idempotent operation. For example, between test runs and FastBoot requests, the application stays the same. It is only the state that we want to reset.
That state is what the ApplicationInstance manages: it is responsible for
creating the container that contains all application state, and disposing of
it once the particular test run or FastBoot request has finished.
boot

with the instance itself when the boot process is complete.
The primary task here is to run any registered instance initializers.
See the documentation on BootOptions for the options it takes.

customEvents

for a set of standard DOM events, such as mousedown and
keyup, and delegates them to your application's Ember.View
instances.
