remove hashbang about decap-cms HOT 4 CLOSED

I'll probably make it an environment settings - problem is that some static site generators (jekyll for example) can't really handle history pushstate based URLs, so without the hash you get a 404 each time there's an auto-refresh.

We can probably set the location method on the Ember app during initialization based on either the config.yml or a setting in the html page.

Is there a way we can, similarly a Backbone app, use Backbone.history.start({ pushState: true })?
Also considering that the page on /admin isn't part of the jekyll site and is it's own html page, can't the ember app only route using /admin as it's base, which would allow us to remove the hashbag?

Yes, Ember has a similar way of controlling the routing:

http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Location.html

We automatically use the /admin part as the base, and setting {location: "history"} will work fine. The problem comes when your viewing a path like:

/admin/collections/posts

And then do a browser refresh. At that point all of the static site generators will give you a 404 out of the box and you'll have to go back to /admin to get the index page...
