Using component vs partial for 'site header' in ember.js

Question

This is more of a design/best practice question, in Ember 2.x

I am building a new ember web app, and for the site's header, I created a separate component, site-header and included that in the application.hbs as follows.

application.hbs

{{site-header}}
{{outlet}}

I am trying to find out, if using a partial instead of a component might be a better choice, for the following reasons:

This component, site-header...

is used only in application.hbs
doesn't maintain any state
has no actions associated with it (just some links to change the route ).

if my answer satisfied your question would you mind accepting it :) — Sean, Feb 10 '16 at 20:28

Personally I would keep it as a component since Ember is moving towards that kind of architecture.

Always bet on components. – locks Feb 09 '16 at 22:39
