Support new Ember CLI Addons

[rwjblue]

As of ember-cli/ember-cli#1025 (not yet released), it is possible to have the installation as simple as npm install --save-dev emberfire and everything just works.

Is that something you would be interested in?

[aputinski]

@rjackson definitely! Would that be incorporated into emberfire directly, or as a separate addon repo?

[rwjblue]

I would prefer to make it integrated directly into the existing npm package. I am working up a PR to ember-cli right now that would allow using a separate entrypoint (otherwise changing the main in package.json would be an issue for non Ember CLI NPM users).

Take a look at https://github.com/rjackson/ember-cli-pretender/blob/master/index.js for an example, but I'll PR in a few minutes with the required changes, then we can review in detail.

[rwjblue]

See ember-cli/ember-cli#1052 for what I have in mind.

@rjackson does it matter that EmberFire is only on bower and not npm?

[rwjblue]

The idea is to add to NPM, I assumed (since you have a package.json) that y'all cared about the NPM install case and that it can't chage. Didn't want to presume we own the universe so to speak.

[rwjblue]

I would also like to publish to NPM with the dist in vendor/emberFire/emberfire.js instead of dist/, as that would allow folks to override the version via bower install --save-dev emberfire (since the vendor/ tree is merged, and the last tree wins (which would be the users application)).

[aputinski]

@rjackson sorry, I'm just a little confused on what I need to do on my end.

[rwjblue]

Nothing, I'm workin' up a PR. Just wanted to make sure you would like it to "just work".

[aputinski]

That would be great!
