How do I run something at the end of the current runloop?

Question

I want to defer an operation until all bindings have flushed and the current runloop has finished. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Use the Ember.run.schedule method:

 Ember.run.schedule(queue[, context], callback[, *args]);

Here, queue is the run-loop queue (e.g. 'actions'), and callback is the function you want executed. For example:

 Ember.run.schedule('actions', function() {
   console.log('I run at the end of the current runloop');
 });

Relatedly, to prevent the function from running multiple times, use Ember.run.once (you may have also seen it referred to as scheduleOnce):

 Ember.run.once([context,] callback[, *args]);

This will run the callback in the 'actions' queue.
