What exactly is the Container object?

What is the idea container object which is passed in the initialize() callback. It is often seen in the codebase like “Discourse.container”?

Is it like a global object which keeps the information stored in the frontend?

Ok, I understood it to some degree. Its an Ember object storing information about the application.

Also, I found : discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/pre-initializers/inject-discourse-objects.js.es6

which “injects” discourse specific information into the container.

It would be interesting if someone could add to this… :slight_smile:
