Compilation of questions and answers about Relay from React.js Conf.

Disclaimer: I work on Relay at Facebook. Relay is a complex system on which we're iterating aggressively. I'll do my best here to provide accurate, useful answers, but the details are subject to change. I may also be wrong. Feedback and additional questions are welcome.

What is Relay?

Relay is a new framework from Facebook that provides data-fetching functionality for React applications. It was announced at React.js Conf (January 2015).

var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
var pickFiles   = require('broccoli-static-compiler');
var mergeTrees  = require('broccoli-merge-trees');
var vulcanize = require('broccoli-vulcanize');

var app = new EmberApp();

var polymerVulcanize = vulcanize('app', {
  input: 'elements.html',
  output: 'assets/vulcanized.html',

In my journey in figuring out the Ember pattern, this is my attempt at trying to create an Ember-only autocomplete field. There were a few outcomes I wanted out of this, a part from being the Ember-way:

• Work with any data source
• Easily templatable results
• Use only Ember constructs

All are welcome to use this, I'm just after feedback at this point.
