In Part 1 and Part 2, I showed you how we structured and styled a decimal picker for mobile devices. In this final part, we’ll set up a basic Ember.js app to showcase the control and then wire up its components. We’ll begin by starting a fresh Ember project. (If you’ve never used Ember, checkout […]
