Oberservers cause type errors on Ember 1.13.2

[codebruder]

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'datepicker' of undefined is caused when you handle the observed properties (language, startDate, endDate) except of value on Ember 1.13.2. Ember triggers the _didChangeLanguage(), _updateStartDate() and _updateEndDate() methods before the element is rendered and therefore this.$() is undefined and the code breaks.

works: {{bootstrap-datepicker value=someDate placeholder="do it" class="form-control"}}

breaks: {{bootstrap-datepicker value=someDate language="de" placeholder="do it" class="form-control"}}

To fix this you have to declare the oberserved properties as properties. Like this:

// datepicker-support.js 
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Mixin.create({
  mustUpdateInput: true,
  value: null,
  // add the observed properties
  language: null,
  startDate: null,
  endDate: null,

  // ... other methods

});

I'm certain there is a more elegant solution, but this quick fix did it for me. I extended your component in my own component and it works like a charm. Nonetheless good work and a useful plugin!

@BW-AdrianG I tried your fix. While it works for the startDate and endDate it throws an error on the language on initialize. The base jQuery bootstrap component complains about null.split on the language.

I got around this by setting a default EN language.

I haven't had a lot of experience with 1.13 yet so I will reserve my judgement on what could be a way forward to support 1.13.

I'm running into this issue as well, and I'm not entirely sure why. I'm using the latest master branch from the npm repo (v0.5.3), but I'm getting the Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'datepicker' of undefined error.

I'm currently using ember 1.13.3. Any idea what the issue might be? Thanks for building this awesome plugin!

Recently released v0.5.4 solves this issue. Please install it from the npm repository. Thank you for feedback! :heart:
