Our designer likes to use body class tags depending upon the context of the app he is designing. We’re currently building an Ember app and this is how I got it working:
Ember.Route.reopen({
activate: function() {
var cssClass = this.toCssClass();
// you probably don't need the application class
// to be added to the body
if (cssClass != 'application') {
Ember.$('body').addClass(cssClass);
}
},
deactivate: function() {
Ember.$('body').removeClass(this.toCssClass());
},
toCssClass: function() {
return this.routeName.replace(/\./g, '-').dasherize();
}
});
