ember.coffee

# Ember defines function() {}.property() as a shortcut
# for making computed properties
name: (->
  @get('firstName') + " " + @get('lastName')
).property('firstName', 'lastName')

# It is a shortcut to wrapping the function inside
# Em.computed. However, using the "long way" is
# actually a bit nicer in coffeescript due to not
# requiring the parentheses
name: Em.computed 'firstName', 'lastName', ->
  @get('firstName') + " " + @get('lastName')

# or, you can assign a global helper to reduce
# character count even further
window.prop = Em.computed

name: prop 'firstName', 'lastName', ->
  @get('firstName') + " " + @get('lastName')


# or, use eval hax ;-D http://emberjs.jsbin.com/aCuKuqu/26/edit
# this way you don't even need to use @get()!
# (Note: the others are built in, this is a dodgy hack)
fullName: prop "firstName lastName", ->
  firstName + " " + lastName

Do you not need @get('firstName') in that last hack?

EDIT: Hmm. I guess not :P

Nope, that's why it's an eval hack ;)
