Sending actions to your Ember Components.

We ran into an issue requiring us to send an action from our Ember controller to a component rendered within its template. A surprisingly difficult task due to the compartmentalization of Ember's Components, and the frameworks emphasis on "data down, actions up".

Fortunately we ran into this post by Sam Selikoff and the ember add-on it has inspired, ember-component-inbound-actions.

We didn't end up using the add-on due to the overall simplicity of the solution at hand, but it was so good we just had to share!

Thanks Sam!
