# Sections
|
||||
|
||||
This file defines all sections, their ordering, impact levels, and descriptions.
|
||||
The section ID (in parentheses) is the filename prefix used to group rules.
|
||||
When multiple prefixes map to one section, all supported prefixes are listed.

## 1. Route Loading and Data Fetching (route)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** CRITICAL
|
||||
**Description:** Efficient route loading and parallel data fetching eliminate waterfalls. Using route model hooks effectively and loading data in parallel yields the largest performance gains.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Build and Bundle Optimization (bundle)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** CRITICAL
|
||||
**Description:** Using Embroider with static build optimizations, route-based code splitting, and proper imports reduces bundle size and improves Time to Interactive.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Component and Reactivity Optimization (component, exports)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** HIGH
|
||||
**Description:** Proper use of Glimmer components, modern file conventions, tracked properties, and avoiding unnecessary recomputation improves rendering performance.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Accessibility Best Practices (a11y)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** HIGH
|
||||
**Description:** Making applications accessible is critical. Use ember-a11y-testing, semantic HTML, proper ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation support.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Service and State Management (service)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH
|
||||
**Description:** Efficient service patterns, proper dependency injection, and state management reduce redundant computations and API calls.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Template Optimization (template, helper)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Description:** Optimizing templates with proper helpers, avoiding expensive computations in templates, and using {{#each}} efficiently improves rendering speed.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Performance Optimization (performance)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Description:** Performance-focused rendering and event handling patterns help reduce unnecessary work in hot UI paths.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Testing Best Practices (testing)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Description:** Modern testing patterns, waiters, and abstraction utilities improve test reliability and maintainability.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Tooling and Configuration (vscode)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Description:** Consistent editor setup and tooling recommendations improve team productivity and reduce environment drift.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. Advanced Patterns (advanced)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH
|
||||
**Description:** Modern Ember patterns including Resources for lifecycle management, ember-concurrency for async operations, modifiers for DOM side effects, helpers for reusable logic, and comprehensive testing patterns with render strategies.

title: Use ember-a11y-testing for Automated Checks
|

## Use ember-a11y-testing for Automated Checks
|
||||
|
||||
Integrate ember-a11y-testing into your test suite to automatically catch common accessibility violations during development. This addon uses axe-core to identify issues before they reach production.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no accessibility testing):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-form-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, fillIn, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import UserForm from 'my-app/components/user-form';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-form', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it submits the form', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><UserForm /></template>);
|
||||
await fillIn('input', 'John');
|
||||
await click('button');
|
||||
assert.ok(true);
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (with a11y testing):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-form-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, fillIn, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import a11yAudit from 'ember-a11y-testing/test-support/audit';
|
||||
import UserForm from 'my-app/components/user-form';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-form', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it submits the form', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><UserForm /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically checks for a11y violations
|
||||
await a11yAudit();
|
||||
|
||||
await fillIn('input', 'John');
|
||||
await click('button');
|
||||
assert.ok(true);
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup (install and configure):**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ember install ember-a11y-testing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/test-helper.js
|
||||
import { setupGlobalA11yHooks } from 'ember-a11y-testing/test-support';
|
||||
|
||||
setupGlobalA11yHooks(); // Runs on every test automatically
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
ember-a11y-testing catches issues like missing labels, insufficient color contrast, invalid ARIA, and keyboard navigation problems automatically.

|

|
||||
## Form Labels and Error Announcements
|
||||
|
||||
All form inputs must have associated labels, and validation errors should be announced to screen readers using ARIA live regions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (missing labels and announcements):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/form.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<input type="email" value={{this.email}} {{on "input" this.updateEmail}} placeholder="Email" />
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.emailError}}
|
||||
<span>{{this.emailError}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (with labels and announcements):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/form.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<label for="email-input">
|
||||
Email Address
|
||||
{{#if this.isEmailRequired}}
|
||||
<span aria-label="required">*</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</label>
|
||||
|
||||
<input
|
||||
id="email-input"
|
||||
type="email"
|
||||
value={{this.email}}
|
||||
{{on "input" this.updateEmail}}
|
||||
aria-describedby={{if this.emailError "email-error"}}
|
||||
aria-invalid={{if this.emailError "true"}}
|
||||
required={{this.isEmailRequired}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.emailError}}
|
||||
<span id="email-error" role="alert" aria-live="polite">
|
||||
{{this.emailError}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<button type="submit" disabled={{this.isSubmitting}}>
|
||||
{{#if this.isSubmitting}}
|
||||
<span aria-live="polite">Submitting...</span>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
Submit
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For complex forms, use platform-native validation with custom logic:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserForm extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked errorMessages = {};
|
||||
|
||||
validateEmail = (event) => {
|
||||
// Custom business logic validation
|
||||
const input = event.target;
|
||||
const value = input.value;
|
||||
|
||||
if (!value) {
|
||||
input.setCustomValidity('Email is required');
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (!input.validity.valid) {
|
||||
input.setCustomValidity('Must be a valid email');
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Additional custom validation (e.g., check if email is already taken)
|
||||
if (value === 'taken@example.com') {
|
||||
input.setCustomValidity('This email is already registered');
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
input.setCustomValidity('');
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleSubmit = async (event) => {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
const form = event.target;
|
||||
|
||||
// Run custom validations
|
||||
const emailInput = form.querySelector('[name="email"]');
|
||||
const fakeEvent = { target: emailInput };
|
||||
this.validateEmail(fakeEvent);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use native validation check
|
||||
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
|
||||
form.reportValidity();
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const formData = new FormData(form);
|
||||
await this.args.onSubmit(formData);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<label for="user-email">
|
||||
Email
|
||||
<input
|
||||
id="user-email"
|
||||
type="email"
|
||||
name="email"
|
||||
required
|
||||
value={{@user.email}}
|
||||
{{on "blur" this.validateEmail}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</label>
|
||||
<button type="submit">Save</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Always associate labels with inputs and announce dynamic changes to screen readers using aria-live regions.

tags: accessibility, a11y, keyboard, focus-management
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard Navigation Support
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure all interactive elements are keyboard accessible and focus management is handled properly, especially in modals and dynamic content.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no keyboard support):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/dropdown.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="dropdown" {{on "click" this.toggleMenu}}>
|
||||
Menu
|
||||
{{#if this.isOpen}}
|
||||
<div class="dropdown-menu">
|
||||
<div {{on "click" this.selectOption}}>Option 1</div>
|
||||
<div {{on "click" this.selectOption}}>Option 2</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (full keyboard support with custom modifier):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/focus-first.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element, [selector = 'button']) => {
|
||||
// Focus first matching element when modifier runs
|
||||
element.querySelector(selector)?.focus();
|
||||
});

|
||||
|
||||
**For focus trapping in modals, use ember-focus-trap:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ember install ember-focus-trap
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/modal.gjs
|
||||
import FocusTrap from 'ember-focus-trap/components/focus-trap';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.showModal}}
|
||||
<FocusTrap @isActive={{true}} @initialFocus="#modal-title">
|
||||
<div class="modal" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby="modal-title">
|
||||
<h2 id="modal-title">{{@title}}</h2>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
<button type="button" {{on "click" this.closeModal}}>Close</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</FocusTrap>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative: Use libraries for keyboard support:**
|
||||
|
||||
For complex keyboard interactions, consider using libraries that abstract keyboard support patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install @fluentui/keyboard-keys
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or use [tabster](https://tabster.io/) for comprehensive keyboard navigation management including focus trapping, arrow key navigation, and modalizers.
|
||||
|
||||
Proper keyboard navigation ensures all users can interact with your application effectively.

title: Announce Route Transitions to Screen Readers

tags: accessibility, a11y, routing, screen-readers
|

|

|
||||
## Announce Route Transitions to Screen Readers
|
||||
|
||||
Announce page title changes and route transitions to screen readers so users know when navigation has occurred.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no announcements):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/router.js
|
||||
export default class Router extends EmberRouter {
|
||||
location = config.locationType;
|
||||
rootURL = config.rootURL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using a11y-announcer library - recommended):**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [a11y-announcer](https://github.com/ember-a11y/a11y-announcer) library for robust route announcements:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ember install @ember-a11y/a11y-announcer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/router.js
|
||||
import EmberRouter from '@ember/routing/router';
|
||||
import config from './config/environment';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Router extends EmberRouter {
|
||||
location = config.locationType;
|
||||
rootURL = config.rootURL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Router.map(function () {
|
||||
this.route('about');
|
||||
this.route('dashboard');
|
||||
this.route('posts', function () {
|
||||
this.route('post', { path: '/:post_id' });
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The a11y-announcer library automatically handles route announcements. For custom announcements in your routes:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service announcer;
|
||||
|
||||
afterModel() {
|
||||
this.announcer.announce('Loaded dashboard with latest data');
|
||||
}

}
|

```
|
||||
|

**Alternative: DIY approach with ARIA live regions:**
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer not to use a library, you can implement route announcements yourself:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/router.js
|
||||
import EmberRouter from '@ember/routing/router';
|
||||
import config from './config/environment';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Router extends EmberRouter {
|
||||
location = config.locationType;
|
||||
rootURL = config.rootURL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Router.map(function () {
|
||||
this.route('about');
|
||||
this.route('dashboard');
|
||||
this.route('posts', function () {
|
||||
this.route('post', { path: '/:post_id' });
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/application.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class ApplicationRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service router;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
this.router.on('routeDidChange', (transition) => {
|
||||
// Update document title
|
||||
const title = this.getPageTitle(transition.to);
|
||||
document.title = title;
|
||||
|
||||
// Announce to screen readers
|
||||
this.announceRouteChange(title);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
getPageTitle(route) {
|
||||
// Get title from route metadata or generate it
|
||||
return route.metadata?.title || route.name;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
announceRouteChange(title) {
|
||||
const announcement = document.getElementById('route-announcement');
|
||||
if (announcement) {
|
||||
announcement.textContent = `Navigated to ${title}`;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/application.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div
|
||||
id="route-announcement"
|
||||
role="status"
|
||||
aria-live="polite"
|
||||
aria-atomic="true"
|
||||
class="sr-only"
|
||||
></div>
|
||||
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* app/styles/app.css */
|
||||
.sr-only {
|
||||
position: absolute;
|
||||
width: 1px;
|
||||
height: 1px;
|
||||
padding: 0;
|
||||
margin: -1px;
|
||||
overflow: hidden;
|
||||
clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
|
||||
white-space: nowrap;
|
||||
border-width: 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative: Use ember-page-title with announcements:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ember install ember-page-title
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.gjs
|
||||
import { pageTitle } from 'ember-page-title';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{pageTitle "Dashboard"}}
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="dashboard">
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Route announcements ensure screen reader users know when navigation occurs, improving the overall accessibility experience.

|

## Semantic HTML and ARIA Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
Use semantic HTML elements and proper ARIA attributes to make your application accessible to screen reader users. **The first rule of ARIA is to not use ARIA** - prefer native semantic HTML elements whenever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle:** Native HTML elements have built-in keyboard support, roles, and behaviors. Only add ARIA when semantic HTML can't provide the needed functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (divs with insufficient semantics):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/example.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="button" {{on "click" this.submit}}>
|
||||
Submit
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="nav">
|
||||
<div class="nav-item">Home</div>
|
||||
<div class="nav-item">About</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert">
|
||||
{{this.message}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (semantic HTML with proper ARIA):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/example.gjs
|
||||
import { LinkTo } from '@ember/routing';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button type="submit" {{on "click" this.submit}}>
|
||||
Submit
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
<nav aria-label="Main navigation">
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><LinkTo @route="index">Home</LinkTo></li>
|
||||
<li><LinkTo @route="about">About</LinkTo></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</nav>
|
||||
|
||||
<div role="alert" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true">
|
||||
{{this.message}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For interactive custom elements:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/custom-button.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import XIcon from './x-icon';
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomButton extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleKeyDown(event) {
|
||||
// Support Enter and Space keys for keyboard users
|
||||
if (event.key === 'Enter' || event.key === ' ') {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
this.handleClick();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleClick() {
|
||||
this.args.onClick?.();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div
|
||||
role="button"
|
||||
tabindex="0"
|
||||
{{on "click" this.handleClick}}
|
||||
{{on "keydown" this.handleKeyDown}}
|
||||
aria-label="Close dialog"
|
||||
>
|
||||
<XIcon />
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Always use native semantic elements when possible. When creating custom interactive elements, ensure they're keyboard accessible and have proper ARIA attributes.

title: Use Ember Concurrency for User Input Concurrency

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Ember Concurrency for User Input Concurrency
|
||||
|
||||
Use ember-concurrency for managing **user-initiated** async operations like search, form submission, and autocomplete. It provides automatic cancelation, debouncing, and prevents race conditions from user actions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (manual async handling with race conditions):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Search extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked results = [];
|
||||
@tracked isSearching = false;
|
||||
@tracked error = null;
|
||||
currentRequest = null;
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
async search(event) {
|
||||
const query = event.target.value;
|
||||
|
||||
// Manual cancelation - easy to get wrong
|
||||
if (this.currentRequest) {
|
||||
this.currentRequest.abort();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
this.isSearching = true;
|
||||
this.error = null;
|
||||
|
||||
const controller = new AbortController();
|
||||
this.currentRequest = controller;
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/search?q=${query}`, {
|
||||
signal: controller.signal,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.results = await response.json();
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
if (e.name !== 'AbortError') {
|
||||
this.error = e.message;
|
||||
}
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isSearching = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input {{on "input" this.search}} />
|
||||
{{#if this.isSearching}}Loading...{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#if this.error}}Error: {{this.error}}{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using ember-concurrency with task return values):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { restartableTask } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
class Search extends Component {
|
||||
// restartableTask automatically cancels previous searches
|
||||
// IMPORTANT: Return the value, don't set tracked state inside tasks
|
||||
searchTask = restartableTask(async (query) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/search?q=${query}`);
|
||||
return response.json(); // Return, don't set @tracked
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input {{on "input" (fn this.searchTask.perform (pick "target.value"))}} />
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
<div class="loading">Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.last.isSuccessful}}
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.searchTask.last.value as |result|}}
|
||||
<li>{{result.name}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.last.isError}}
|
||||
<div class="error">{{this.searchTask.last.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With debouncing for user typing:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/autocomplete.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { restartableTask, timeout } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
class Autocomplete extends Component {
|
||||
searchTask = restartableTask(async (query) => {
|
||||
// Debounce user typing - wait 300ms
|
||||
await timeout(300);
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/autocomplete?q=${query}`);
|
||||
return response.json(); // Return value, don't set tracked state
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="search"
|
||||
{{on "input" (fn this.searchTask.perform (pick "target.value"))}}
|
||||
placeholder="Search..."
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
<div class="spinner"></div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.lastSuccessful}}
|
||||
<ul class="suggestions">
|
||||
{{#each this.searchTask.lastSuccessful.value as |item|}}
|
||||
<li>{{item.title}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Task modifiers for different user concurrency patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { dropTask, enqueueTask, restartableTask } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
class FormActions extends Component {
|
||||
// dropTask: Prevents double-click - ignores new while running
|
||||
saveTask = dropTask(async (data) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/save', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify(data),
|
||||
});
|
||||
return response.json();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// enqueueTask: Queues user actions sequentially
|
||||
processTask = enqueueTask(async (item) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/process', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify(item),
|
||||
});
|
||||
return response.json();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// restartableTask: Cancels previous, starts new (for search)
|
||||
searchTask = restartableTask(async (query) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/search?q=${query}`);
|
||||
return response.json();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.saveTask.perform @data)}} disabled={{this.saveTask.isRunning}}>
|
||||
Save
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Principles for ember-concurrency:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User-initiated only** - Use for handling user actions, not component initialization
|
||||
2. **Return values** - Use `task.last.value`, never set `@tracked` state inside tasks
|
||||
3. **Avoid side effects** - Don't modify component state that's read during render inside tasks
|
||||
4. **Choose right modifier**:
|
||||
- `restartableTask` - User typing/search (cancel previous)
|
||||
- `dropTask` - Form submit/save (prevent double-click)
|
||||
- `enqueueTask` - Sequential processing (queue user actions)
|
||||
|
||||
**When NOT to use ember-concurrency:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Component initialization data loading (use `getPromiseState` instead)
|
||||
- ❌ Setting tracked state inside tasks (causes infinite render loops)
|
||||
- ❌ Route model hooks (return promises directly)
|
||||
- ❌ Simple async without user concurrency concerns (use async/await)
|
||||
|
||||
See **advanced-data-loading-with-ember-concurrency.md** for correct data loading patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
ember-concurrency provides automatic cancelation, derived state (isRunning, isIdle), and better patterns for **user-initiated** async operations.

## Use Ember Concurrency Correctly - User Concurrency Not Data Loading
|
||||
|
||||
ember-concurrency is designed for **user-initiated concurrency patterns** (debouncing, throttling, preventing double-clicks), not data loading. Use task return values, don't set tracked state inside tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using ember-concurrency for data loading with tracked state):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { task } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked userData = null;
|
||||
@tracked error = null;
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG: Setting tracked state inside task
|
||||
loadUserTask = task(async () => {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${this.args.userId}`);
|
||||
this.userData = await response.json(); // Anti-pattern!
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
this.error = e; // Anti-pattern!
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.loadUserTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
Loading...
|
||||
{{else if this.userData}}
|
||||
<h1>{{this.userData.name}}</h1>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Is Wrong:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Setting tracked state during render can cause infinite render loops
|
||||
- ember-concurrency adds overhead unnecessary for simple data loading
|
||||
- Makes component state harder to reason about
|
||||
- Can trigger multiple re-renders
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (use getPromiseState from warp-drive/reactiveweb for data loading):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { getPromiseState } from '@warp-drive/reactiveweb';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get userData() {
|
||||
const promise = fetch(`/api/users/${this.args.userId}`).then((r) => r.json());
|
||||
return getPromiseState(promise);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.userData.isPending}}
|
||||
<div>Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.userData.isRejected}}
|
||||
<div>Error: {{this.userData.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.userData.isFulfilled}}
|
||||
<h1>{{this.userData.value.name}}</h1>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (use ember-concurrency for USER input with derived data patterns):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { restartableTask, timeout } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
import { pick } from 'ember-composable-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class Search extends Component {
|
||||
// CORRECT: For user-initiated search with debouncing
|
||||
// Use derived data from TaskInstance API - lastSuccessful
|
||||
searchTask = restartableTask(async (query) => {
|
||||
await timeout(300); // Debounce user typing
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/search?q=${query}`);
|
||||
return response.json(); // Return value, don't set tracked state
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input type="search" {{on "input" (fn this.searchTask.perform (pick "target.value"))}} />
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Use derived data from task state - no tracked properties needed }}
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
<div>Searching...</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! lastSuccessful persists previous results while new search runs }}
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.lastSuccessful}}
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.searchTask.lastSuccessful.value as |result|}}
|
||||
<li>{{result.name}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Show error from most recent failed attempt }}
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.last.isError}}
|
||||
<div>Error: {{this.searchTask.last.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Good Use Cases for ember-concurrency:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User input debouncing** - prevent API spam from typing
|
||||
2. **Form submission** - prevent double-click submits with `dropTask`
|
||||
3. **Autocomplete** - restart previous searches as user types
|
||||
4. **Polling** - user-controlled refresh intervals
|
||||
5. **Multi-step wizards** - sequential async operations
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/form-submit.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { dropTask } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
import { fn } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
class FormSubmit extends Component {
|
||||
// dropTask prevents double-submit - perfect for user actions
|
||||
submitTask = dropTask(async (formData) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/save', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify(formData),
|
||||
});
|
||||
return response.json();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button
|
||||
{{on "click" (fn this.submitTask.perform @formData)}}
|
||||
disabled={{this.submitTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{{#if this.submitTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
Saving...
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
Save
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Use lastSuccessful for success message - derived data }}
|
||||
{{#if this.submitTask.lastSuccessful}}
|
||||
<div>Saved successfully!</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.submitTask.last.isError}}
|
||||
<div>Error: {{this.submitTask.last.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad Use Cases for ember-concurrency:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. ❌ **Loading data on component init** - use `getPromiseState` instead
|
||||
2. ❌ **Route model hooks** - just return promises directly
|
||||
3. ❌ **Simple API calls** - async/await is sufficient
|
||||
4. ❌ **Setting tracked state inside tasks** - causes render loops
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Principles:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Derive data, don't set it** - Use `task.lastSuccessful`, `task.last`, `task.isRunning` (derived from TaskInstance API)
|
||||
- **Use task return values** - Read from `task.lastSuccessful.value` or `task.last.value`, never set tracked state
|
||||
- **User-initiated only** - ember-concurrency is for handling user concurrency patterns
|
||||
- **Data loading** - Use `getPromiseState` from warp-drive/reactiveweb for non-user-initiated loading
|
||||
- **Avoid side effects** - Don't modify component state inside tasks that's read during render
|
||||
|
||||
**TaskInstance API for Derived Data:**
|
||||
|
||||
ember-concurrency provides a powerful derived data API through Task and TaskInstance:
|
||||
|
||||
- `task.last` - The most recent TaskInstance (successful or failed)
|
||||
- `task.lastSuccessful` - The most recent successful TaskInstance (persists during new attempts)
|
||||
- `task.isRunning` - Derived boolean if any instance is running
|
||||
- `taskInstance.value` - The returned value from the task
|
||||
- `taskInstance.isError` - Derived boolean if this instance failed
|
||||
- `taskInstance.error` - The error if this instance failed
|
||||
|
||||
This follows the **derived data pattern** - all state comes from the task itself, no tracked properties needed!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Migration from tracked state pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// BEFORE (anti-pattern - setting tracked state)
|
||||
class Bad extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
|
||||
fetchTask = task(async () => {
|
||||
this.data = await fetch('/api/data').then((r) => r.json());
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// template reads: {{this.data}}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// AFTER (correct - using derived data from TaskInstance API)
|
||||
class Good extends Component {
|
||||
fetchTask = restartableTask(async () => {
|
||||
return fetch('/api/data').then((r) => r.json());
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// template reads: {{this.fetchTask.lastSuccessful.value}}
|
||||
// All state derived from task - no tracked properties!
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Or better yet, for non-user-initiated loading:
|
||||
class Better extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get data() {
|
||||
return getPromiseState(fetch('/api/data').then((r) => r.json()));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// template reads: {{#if this.data.isFulfilled}}{{this.data.value}}{{/if}}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
ember-concurrency is a powerful tool for **user concurrency patterns**. For data loading, use `getPromiseState` instead.

title: Use Helper Functions for Reusable Logic

impactDescription: Better code reuse and testability
|
||||
tags: helpers, templates, reusability, advanced
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Helper Functions for Reusable Logic
|
||||
|
||||
Extract reusable template logic into helper functions that can be tested independently and used across templates.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (logic duplicated in components):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.js
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
get formattedDate() {
|
||||
const date = new Date(this.args.user.createdAt);
|
||||
const now = new Date();
|
||||
const diffMs = now - date;
|
||||
const diffDays = Math.floor(diffMs / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
|
||||
|
||||
if (diffDays === 0) return 'Today';
|
||||
if (diffDays === 1) return 'Yesterday';
|
||||
if (diffDays < 7) return `${diffDays} days ago`;
|
||||
return date.toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// app/components/post-card.js - same logic duplicated!
|
||||
class PostCard extends Component {
|
||||
get formattedDate() {
|
||||
// Same implementation...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (reusable helper):**
|
||||
|
||||
For single-use helpers, keep them in the same file as the component:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/post-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
// Helper co-located in same file
|
||||
function formatRelativeDate(date) {
|
||||
const dateObj = new Date(date);
|
||||
const now = new Date();
|
||||
const diffMs = now - dateObj;
|
||||
const diffDays = Math.floor(diffMs / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
|
||||
|
||||
if (diffDays === 0) return 'Today';
|
||||
if (diffDays === 1) return 'Yesterday';
|
||||
if (diffDays < 7) return `${diffDays} days ago`;
|
||||
return dateObj.toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class PostList extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each @posts as |post|}}
|
||||
<article>
|
||||
<h2>{{post.title}}</h2>
|
||||
<time>{{formatRelativeDate post.createdAt}}</time>
|
||||
</article>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For helpers shared across multiple components in a feature, use a subdirectory:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/blog/format-relative-date.js
|
||||
export function formatRelativeDate(date) {
|
||||
const dateObj = new Date(date);
|
||||
const now = new Date();
|
||||
const diffMs = now - dateObj;
|
||||
const diffDays = Math.floor(diffMs / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
|
||||
|
||||
if (diffDays === 0) return 'Today';
|
||||
if (diffDays === 1) return 'Yesterday';
|
||||
if (diffDays < 7) return `${diffDays} days ago`;
|
||||
return dateObj.toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative (shared helper in utils):**
|
||||
|
||||
For truly shared helpers used across the whole app, use `app/utils/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-relative-date.js
|
||||
// Flat structure - use subpath-imports in package.json for nicer imports if needed
|
||||
export function formatRelativeDate(date) {
|
||||
const dateObj = new Date(date);
|
||||
const now = new Date();
|
||||
const diffMs = now - dateObj;
|
||||
const diffDays = Math.floor(diffMs / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
|
||||
|
||||
if (diffDays === 0) return 'Today';
|
||||
if (diffDays === 1) return 'Yesterday';
|
||||
if (diffDays < 7) return `${diffDays} days ago`;
|
||||
return dateObj.toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Keep utils flat (`app/utils/format-relative-date.js`), not nested (`app/utils/date/format-relative-date.js`). If you need cleaner top-level imports, configure subpath-imports in package.json instead of nesting files.
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import { formatRelativeDate } from '../utils/format-relative-date';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<p>Joined: {{formatRelativeDate @user.createdAt}}</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/post-card.gjs
|
||||
import { formatRelativeDate } from '../utils/format-relative-date';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<p>Posted: {{formatRelativeDate @post.createdAt}}</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For helpers with state, use class-based helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/helpers/format-currency.js
|
||||
export class FormatCurrencyHelper {
|
||||
constructor(owner) {
|
||||
this.intl = owner.lookup('service:intl');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
compute(amount, { currency = 'USD' } = {}) {
|
||||
return this.intl.formatNumber(amount, {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency,
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common helpers to create:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Date/time formatting
|
||||
- Number formatting
|
||||
- String manipulation
|
||||
- Array operations
|
||||
- Conditional logic
|
||||
|
||||
Helpers promote code reuse, are easier to test, and keep components focused on behavior.

title: Use Modifiers for DOM Side Effects

impactDescription: Better separation of concerns

tags: modifiers, dom, lifecycle, advanced
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Modifiers for DOM Side Effects
|
||||
|
||||
Use modifiers (element modifiers) to handle DOM side effects and lifecycle events in a reusable, composable way.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (manual DOM manipulation in component):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/chart.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class Chart extends Component {
|
||||
chartInstance = null;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
// Can't access element here - element doesn't exist yet!
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
willDestroy() {
|
||||
super.willDestroy();
|
||||
this.chartInstance?.destroy();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<canvas id="chart-canvas"></canvas>
|
||||
{{! Manual setup is error-prone and not reusable }}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (function modifier - preferred for simple side effects):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/chart.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element, [config]) => {
|
||||
// Initialize chart
|
||||
const chartInstance = new Chart(element, config);
|
||||
|
||||
// Return cleanup function
|
||||
return () => {
|
||||
chartInstance.destroy();
|
||||
};
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Also correct (class-based modifier for complex state):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/chart.js
|
||||
import Modifier from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class ChartModifier extends Modifier {
|
||||
chartInstance = null;
|
||||
|
||||
modify(element, [config]) {
|
||||
// Cleanup previous instance if config changed
|
||||
if (this.chartInstance) {
|
||||
this.chartInstance.destroy();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
this.chartInstance = new Chart(element, config);
|
||||
|
||||
// Register cleanup
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
this.chartInstance?.destroy();
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/chart.gjs
|
||||
import chart from '../modifiers/chart';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<canvas {{chart @config}}></canvas>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use function modifiers** for simple side effects. Use class-based modifiers only when you need complex state management.
|
||||
|
||||
**For commonly needed modifiers, use ember-modifier helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/autofocus.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element) => {
|
||||
element.focus();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/input-field.gjs
|
||||
import autofocus from '../modifiers/autofocus';
|
||||
|
||||
<template><input {{autofocus}} type="text" /></template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use ember-resize-observer-modifier for resize handling:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ember install ember-resize-observer-modifier
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/resizable.gjs
|
||||
import onResize from 'ember-resize-observer-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div {{onResize this.handleResize}}>
|
||||
Content that responds to size changes
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Modifiers provide a clean, reusable way to manage DOM side effects without coupling to specific components.

title: Use Reactive Collections from @ember/reactive/collections
|
||||
impact: HIGH
|
||||
impactDescription: Enables reactive arrays, maps, and sets
|
||||
tags: reactivity, tracked, collections, advanced
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Reactive Collections from @ember/reactive/collections
|
||||
|
||||
Use reactive collections from `@ember/reactive/collections` to make arrays, Maps, and Sets reactive in Ember. Standard JavaScript collections don't trigger Ember's reactivity system when mutated—reactive collections solve this.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Problem:**
|
||||
Standard arrays, Maps, and Sets are not reactive in Ember when you mutate them. Changes won't trigger template updates.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Solution:**
|
||||
Use Ember's built-in reactive collections from `@ember/reactive/collections`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reactive Arrays
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (non-reactive array):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/todo-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked todos = []; // ❌ Array mutations (push, splice, etc.) won't trigger updates
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
addTodo(text) {
|
||||
// This won't trigger a re-render!
|
||||
this.todos.push({ id: Date.now(), text });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
removeTodo(id) {
|
||||
// This also won't trigger a re-render!
|
||||
const index = this.todos.findIndex((t) => t.id === id);
|
||||
this.todos.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.todos as |todo|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{todo.text}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.removeTodo todo.id)}}>Remove</button>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.addTodo "New todo")}}>Add</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (reactive array with @ember/reactive/collections):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/todo-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { trackedArray } from '@ember/reactive/collections';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
todos = trackedArray([]); // ✅ Mutations are reactive
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
addTodo(text) {
|
||||
// Now this triggers re-render!
|
||||
this.todos.push({ id: Date.now(), text });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
removeTodo(id) {
|
||||
// This also triggers re-render!
|
||||
const index = this.todos.findIndex((t) => t.id === id);
|
||||
this.todos.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.todos as |todo|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{todo.text}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.removeTodo todo.id)}}>Remove</button>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.addTodo "New todo")}}>Add</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reactive Maps
|
||||
|
||||
Maps are useful for key-value stores with non-string keys:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-cache.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { trackedMap } from '@ember/reactive/collections';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class UserCache extends Component {
|
||||
userCache = trackedMap(); // key: userId, value: userData
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
cacheUser(userId, userData) {
|
||||
this.userCache.set(userId, userData);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
clearUser(userId) {
|
||||
this.userCache.delete(userId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get cachedUsers() {
|
||||
return Array.from(this.userCache.values());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.cachedUsers as |user|}}
|
||||
<li>{{user.name}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Cache size: {{this.userCache.size}}</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reactive Sets
|
||||
|
||||
Sets are useful for unique collections:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/tag-selector.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { trackedSet } from '@ember/reactive/collections';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class TagSelector extends Component {
|
||||
selectedTags = trackedSet();
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
toggleTag(tag) {
|
||||
if (this.selectedTags.has(tag)) {
|
||||
this.selectedTags.delete(tag);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
this.selectedTags.add(tag);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get selectedCount() {
|
||||
return this.selectedTags.size;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
{{#each @availableTags as |tag|}}
|
||||
<label>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="checkbox"
|
||||
checked={{this.selectedTags.has tag}}
|
||||
{{on "change" (fn this.toggleTag tag)}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{{tag}}
|
||||
</label>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>Selected: {{this.selectedCount}} tags</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each Type
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Use Case |
|
||||
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `trackedArray` | Ordered lists that need mutation methods (push, pop, splice, etc.) |
|
||||
| `trackedMap` | Key-value pairs with non-string keys or when you need `size` |
|
||||
| `trackedSet` | Unique values, membership testing |
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Initialize with data:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { trackedArray, trackedMap, trackedSet } from '@ember/reactive/collections';
|
||||
|
||||
// Array
|
||||
const todos = trackedArray([
|
||||
{ id: 1, text: 'First' },
|
||||
{ id: 2, text: 'Second' },
|
||||
]);
|
||||
|
||||
// Map
|
||||
const userMap = trackedMap([
|
||||
[1, { name: 'Alice' }],
|
||||
[2, { name: 'Bob' }],
|
||||
]);
|
||||
|
||||
// Set
|
||||
const tags = trackedSet(['javascript', 'ember', 'web']);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Convert to plain JavaScript:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Array
|
||||
const plainArray = [...trackedArray];
|
||||
const plainArray2 = Array.from(trackedArray);
|
||||
|
||||
// Map
|
||||
const plainObject = Object.fromEntries(trackedMap);
|
||||
|
||||
// Set
|
||||
const plainArray3 = [...trackedSet];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Functional array methods still work:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const todos = trackedArray([...]);
|
||||
|
||||
// All of these work and are reactive
|
||||
const completed = todos.filter(t => t.done);
|
||||
const titles = todos.map(t => t.title);
|
||||
const allDone = todos.every(t => t.done);
|
||||
const firstIncomplete = todos.find(t => !t.done);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative: Immutable Updates
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer immutability, you can use regular `@tracked` with reassignment:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked todos = [];
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
addTodo(text) {
|
||||
// Reassignment is reactive
|
||||
this.todos = [...this.todos, { id: Date.now(), text }];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
removeTodo(id) {
|
||||
// Reassignment is reactive
|
||||
this.todos = this.todos.filter((t) => t.id !== id);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use each approach:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Use reactive collections when you need mutable operations (better performance for large lists)
|
||||
- Use immutable updates when you want simpler mental model or need history/undo
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Don't mix approaches** - choose either reactive collections or immutable updates
|
||||
2. **Initialize in class field** - no need for constructor
|
||||
3. **Use appropriate type** - Map for key-value, Set for unique values, Array for ordered lists
|
||||
4. **Export from modules** if shared across components
|
||||
|
||||
Reactive collections from `@ember/reactive/collections` provide the best of both worlds: mutable operations with full reactivity. They're especially valuable for large lists or frequent updates where immutable updates would be expensive.

title: Avoid Importing Entire Addon Namespaces

impact: CRITICAL

impactDescription: 200-500ms import cost reduction
|
||||
tags: bundle, imports, tree-shaking, performance
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Importing Entire Addon Namespaces
|
||||
|
||||
Import specific utilities and components directly rather than entire addon namespaces to enable better tree-shaking and reduce bundle size.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (imports entire namespace):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
// OK - these are already optimized
|
||||
|
||||
// But avoid this pattern with utility libraries:
|
||||
import * as lodash from 'lodash';
|
||||
import * as moment from 'moment';
|
||||
|
||||
class My extends Component {
|
||||
someMethod() {
|
||||
return lodash.debounce(this.handler, 300);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (direct imports):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import debounce from 'lodash/debounce';
|
||||
import dayjs from 'dayjs'; // moment alternative, smaller
|
||||
|
||||
class My extends Component {
|
||||
someMethod() {
|
||||
return debounce(this.handler, 300);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Even better (use Ember utilities when available):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { debounce } from '@ember/runloop';
|
||||
|
||||
class My extends Component {
|
||||
someMethod() {
|
||||
return debounce(this, this.handler, 300);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Direct imports and using built-in Ember utilities reduce bundle size by avoiding unused code.

title: Use Embroider Build Pipeline

tags: bundle, embroider, build-performance, vite
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Embroider Build Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
Use Embroider, Ember's modern build pipeline, with Vite for faster builds, better tree-shaking, and smaller bundles.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (classic build pipeline):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = function (defaults) {
|
||||
const app = new EmberApp(defaults, {});
|
||||
return app.toTree();
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (Embroider with Vite):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
|
||||
const { compatBuild } = require('@embroider/compat');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = async function (defaults) {
|
||||
const { buildOnce } = await import('@embroider/vite');
|
||||
|
||||
let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
|
||||
// Add options here
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return compatBuild(app, buildOnce);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For stricter static analysis (optimized mode):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
|
||||
const { compatBuild } = require('@embroider/compat');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = async function (defaults) {
|
||||
const { buildOnce } = await import('@embroider/vite');
|
||||
|
||||
let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
|
||||
// Add options here
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return compatBuild(app, buildOnce, {
|
||||
// Enable static analysis for better tree-shaking
|
||||
staticAddonTestSupportTrees: true,
|
||||
staticAddonTrees: true,
|
||||
staticHelpers: true,
|
||||
staticModifiers: true,
|
||||
staticComponents: true,
|
||||
});
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Embroider provides a modern build pipeline with Vite that offers faster builds and better optimization compared to the classic Ember CLI build system.

tags: bundle, lazy-loading, dynamic-imports, performance
|

---
|

|
||||
## Lazy Load Heavy Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Use dynamic imports to load heavy libraries only when needed, reducing initial bundle size.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (loaded upfront):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto'; // 300KB library loaded immediately

get showChart() {
|
||||
return this.args.hasData;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (lazy loaded with error/loading state handling):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { getPromiseState } from 'reactiveweb/promise';
|
||||
|
||||
class Dashboard extends Component {

// Use getPromiseState to model promise state for error/loading handling
|
||||
chartLoader = getPromiseState(async () => {
|
||||
const { default: Chart } = await import('chart.js/auto');
|
||||
return Chart;
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
highlighterLoader = getPromiseState(async () => {

|
||||
const hljs = this.highlighterLoader.value;
|
||||
if (hljs) {
|
||||
return hljs.highlightAuto(code);
|
||||
}
|
||||
return code;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.chartLoader.isLoading}}
|
||||
<p>Loading chart library...</p>

|

|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Always model promise state (loading/error/resolved) using `getPromiseState` from `reactiveweb/promise` to handle slow networks and errors properly.

## Validate Component Arguments
|

Validate component arguments for better error messages, documentation, and type safety.
|

<img class="user-card__avatar" src={{@user.avatarUrl}} alt={{@user.name}} />
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @onEdit}}
|
||||
<button class="user-card__edit-button" {{on "click" (fn @onEdit @user)}}>
|
||||
Edit
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="user-card__content">
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Is Wrong:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Classes add visual clutter that obscures the actual concepts
|
||||
- Learners focus on naming conventions instead of the pattern being taught
|
||||
- Makes copy-paste more work (need to remove or change class names)
|
||||
- Implies these specific class names are required or best practice
|
||||
- Distracts from structural HTML and component logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (focused on concepts):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div ...attributes>
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @user.avatarUrl}}
|
||||
<img src={{@user.avatarUrl}} alt={{@user.name}} />
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @onEdit}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn @onEdit @user)}}>Edit</button>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Clarity**: Easier to understand the component structure
|
||||
- **Focus**: Reader attention stays on the concepts being taught
|
||||
- **Simplicity**: Less code to process mentally
|
||||
- **Flexibility**: Reader can add their own classes without conflict
|
||||
- **Reusability**: Examples are easier to adapt to real code
|
||||
|
||||
**When Classes ARE Appropriate in Examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Example: Teaching about conditional classes
|
||||
export class StatusBadge extends Component {
|
||||
get statusClass() {
|
||||
return this.args.status === 'active' ? 'badge-success' : 'badge-error';
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<span class={{this.statusClass}}>
|
||||
{{@status}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Example: Teaching about ...attributes for styling flexibility
|
||||
export class Card extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Caller can add their own classes via ...attributes }}
|
||||
<div ...attributes>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Usage: <Card class="user-card">...</Card> }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Include Classes:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Teaching class binding** - Example explicitly about conditional classes or class composition
|
||||
2. **Demonstrating ...attributes** - Showing how callers add classes
|
||||
3. **Accessibility** - Using classes for semantic meaning (e.g., `aria-*` helpers)
|
||||
4. **Critical to example** - Class name is essential to understanding (e.g., `selected`, `active`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples Where Classes Add Value:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Good: Teaching about dynamic classes
|
||||
export class TabButton extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button class={{if @isActive "active"}} {{on "click" @onClick}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Good: Teaching about class composition
|
||||
import { cn } from 'ember-cn';
|
||||
|
||||
export class Button extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button class={{cn "btn" (if @primary "btn-primary" "btn-secondary")}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Default Stance:**
|
||||
|
||||
When writing learning examples or documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start without classes** - Add them only if needed
|
||||
2. **Ask**: Does this class help explain the concept?
|
||||
3. **Remove** any decorative or structural classes that aren't essential
|
||||
4. **Use** `...attributes` to show styling flexibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Real-World Context:**
|
||||
|
||||
In production code, you'll have classes for styling. But in learning materials, strip them away unless they're teaching something specific about classes themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Violations:**
|
||||
|
||||
❌ BEM classes in examples (`user-card__header`)
|
||||
❌ Utility classes unless teaching utilities (`flex`, `mt-4`)
|
||||
❌ Semantic classes that don't teach anything (`container`, `wrapper`)
|
||||
❌ Design system classes unless teaching design system integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Summary:**
|
||||
|
||||
Keep learning examples focused on the concept being taught. CSS classes should appear only when they're essential to understanding the pattern or when demonstrating styling flexibility with `...attributes`.

title: Avoid Constructors in Components

impactDescription: Prevents infinite render loops and simplifies code

tags: components, constructors, initialization, anti-pattern

|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Constructors in Components
|
||||
|
||||
**Strongly discourage constructor usage.** Modern Ember components rarely need constructors. Use class fields, @service decorators, and getPromiseState for initialization instead. Constructors with function calls that set tracked state can cause infinite render loops.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using constructor):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
// Anti-pattern: Manual service lookup
|
||||
this.store = this.owner.lookup('service:store');
|
||||
this.router = this.owner.lookup('service:router');
|
||||
|
||||
// Anti-pattern: Imperative initialization
|
||||
this.data = null;
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
this.error = null;
|
||||
|
||||
// Anti-pattern: Side effects in constructor
|
||||
this.loadUserData();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async loadUserData() {
|
||||
this.isLoading = true;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
this.data = await this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/users/${this.args.userId}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
this.error = e;
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.isLoading}}
|
||||
<div>Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.error}}
|
||||
<div>Error: {{this.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.data}}
|
||||
<h1>{{this.data.name}}</h1>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (use class fields and declarative async state):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { getRequestState } from '@warp-drive/ember';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get userRequest() {
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/users/${this.args.userId}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#let (getRequestState this.userRequest) as |state|}}
|
||||
{{#if state.isPending}}
|
||||
<div>Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{else if state.isError}}
|
||||
<div>Error loading user</div>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<h1>{{state.value.name}}</h1>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{/let}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When You Might Need a Constructor (Very Rare):**
|
||||
|
||||
Very rarely, you might need a constructor for truly exceptional cases. Even then, use modern patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/complex-setup.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class ComplexSetup extends Component {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
@tracked state = null;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(owner, args) {
|
||||
super(owner, args);
|
||||
|
||||
// Only if you absolutely must do something that can't be done with class fields
|
||||
// Even then, prefer resources or modifiers
|
||||
if (this.args.legacyInitMode) {
|
||||
this.initializeLegacyMode();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
initializeLegacyMode() {
|
||||
// Rare edge case initialization
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<!-- template -->
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Strongly Avoid Constructors:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Infinite Render Loops**: Setting tracked state in constructor that's read during render causes infinite loops
|
||||
2. **Service Injection**: Use `@service` decorator instead of `owner.lookup()`
|
||||
3. **Testability**: Class fields are easier to mock and test
|
||||
4. **Clarity**: Declarative class fields show state at a glance
|
||||
5. **Side Effects**: getPromiseState and modifiers handle side effects better
|
||||
6. **Memory Leaks**: getPromiseState auto-cleanup; constructor code doesn't
|
||||
7. **Reactivity**: Class fields integrate better with tracking
|
||||
8. **Initialization Order**: No need to worry about super() call timing
|
||||
9. **Argument Validation**: Constructor validation runs only once; use getters to catch arg changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Modern Alternatives:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Old Pattern | Modern Alternative |
|
||||
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `constructor() { this.store = owner.lookup('service:store') }` | `@service store;` |
|
||||
| `constructor() { this.data = null; }` | `@tracked data = null;` |
|
||||
| `constructor() { this.loadData(); }` | Use `@cached get` with getPromiseState |
|
||||
| `constructor() { this.interval = setInterval(...) }` | Use modifier with registerDestructor |
|
||||
| `constructor() { this.subscription = ... }` | Use modifier or constructor with registerDestructor ONLY |
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance Impact:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before**: Constructor runs on every instantiation, manual cleanup risk, infinite loop danger
|
||||
- **After**: Class fields initialize efficiently, getPromiseState auto-cleanup, no render loops
|
||||
|
||||
**Strongly discourage constructors** - they add complexity and infinite render loop risks. Use declarative class fields and getPromiseState instead.

title: Avoid Legacy Lifecycle Hooks (did-insert, will-destroy, did-update)
|
||||
impact: HIGH
|
||||
impactDescription: Prevents memory leaks and enforces modern patterns
|
||||
tags: components, lifecycle, anti-pattern, modifiers, derived-data
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Legacy Lifecycle Hooks (did-insert, will-destroy, did-update)
|
||||
|
||||
**Never use `{{did-insert}}`, `{{will-destroy}}`, or `{{did-update}}` in new code.** These legacy helpers create coupling between templates and component lifecycle, making code harder to test and maintain. Modern Ember provides better alternatives through derived data and custom modifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why These Are Problematic
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Memory Leaks**: Easy to forget cleanup, especially with `did-insert`
|
||||
2. **Tight Coupling**: Mixes template concerns with JavaScript logic
|
||||
3. **Poor Testability**: Lifecycle hooks are harder to unit test
|
||||
4. **Not Composable**: Can't be easily shared across components
|
||||
5. **Deprecated Pattern**: Not recommended in modern Ember
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 1: Use Derived Data
|
||||
|
||||
For computed values or reactive transformations, use getters and `@cached`:
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Incorrect (did-update):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-greeting.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserGreeting extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked displayName = '';
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
updateDisplayName() {
|
||||
// Runs on every render - inefficient and error-prone
|
||||
this.displayName = `${this.args.user.firstName} ${this.args.user.lastName}`;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div {{did-update this.updateDisplayName @user}}>
|
||||
Hello,
|
||||
{{this.displayName}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Correct (derived data with getter):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-greeting.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserGreeting extends Component {
|
||||
// Automatically reactive - updates when args change
|
||||
get displayName() {
|
||||
return `${this.args.user.firstName} ${this.args.user.lastName}`;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
Hello,
|
||||
{{this.displayName}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Even better (use @cached for expensive computations):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-stats.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserStats extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get sortedPosts() {
|
||||
// Expensive computation only runs when @posts changes
|
||||
return [...this.args.posts].sort((a, b) => b.createdAt - a.createdAt);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get statistics() {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
total: this.args.posts.length,
|
||||
published: this.args.posts.filter((p) => p.published).length,
|
||||
drafts: this.args.posts.filter((p) => !p.published).length,
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<p>Total: {{this.statistics.total}}</p>
|
||||
<p>Published: {{this.statistics.published}}</p>
|
||||
<p>Drafts: {{this.statistics.drafts}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.sortedPosts as |post|}}
|
||||
<li>{{post.title}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 2: Use Custom Modifiers
|
||||
|
||||
For DOM side effects, element setup, or cleanup, use custom modifiers:
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Incorrect (did-insert + will-destroy):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/chart.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Chart extends Component {
|
||||
chartInstance = null;
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
setupChart(element) {
|
||||
this.chartInstance = new Chart(element, this.args.config);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
willDestroy() {
|
||||
super.willDestroy();
|
||||
// Easy to forget cleanup!
|
||||
this.chartInstance?.destroy();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<canvas {{did-insert this.setupChart}}></canvas>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Correct (custom modifier with automatic cleanup):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/chart.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element, [config]) => {
|
||||
// Setup
|
||||
const chartInstance = new Chart(element, config);
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup happens automatically
|
||||
registerDestructor(element, () => {
|
||||
chartInstance.destroy();
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/chart.gjs
|
||||
import chart from '../modifiers/chart';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<canvas {{chart @config}}></canvas>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative 3: Use Resources for Lifecycle Management
|
||||
|
||||
For complex state management with automatic cleanup, use `ember-resources`:
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Incorrect (did-insert for data fetching):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked userData = null;
|
||||
@tracked loading = true;
|
||||
controller = new AbortController();
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
async loadUser() {
|
||||
this.loading = true;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${this.args.userId}`, {
|
||||
signal: this.controller.signal,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.userData = await response.json();
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.loading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
willDestroy() {
|
||||
super.willDestroy();
|
||||
this.controller.abort(); // Easy to forget!
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div {{did-insert this.loadUser}}>
|
||||
{{#if this.loading}}
|
||||
Loading...
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
{{this.userData.name}}
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Correct (Resource with automatic cleanup):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/resources/user-data.js
|
||||
import { Resource } from 'ember-resources';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class UserDataResource extends Resource {
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
@tracked loading = true;
|
||||
controller = new AbortController();
|
||||
|
||||
modify(positional, named) {
|
||||
const [userId] = positional;
|
||||
this.loadUser(userId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async loadUser(userId) {
|
||||
this.loading = true;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`, {
|
||||
signal: this.controller.signal,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.data = await response.json();
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.loading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
willDestroy() {
|
||||
// Cleanup happens automatically
|
||||
this.controller.abort();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import UserDataResource from '../resources/user-data';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
userData = UserDataResource.from(this, () => [this.args.userId]);
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.userData.loading}}
|
||||
Loading...
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
{{this.userData.data.name}}
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each Alternative
|
||||
|
||||
| Use Case | Solution | Why |
|
||||
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Computed values | Getters + `@cached` | Reactive, efficient, no lifecycle needed |
|
||||
| DOM manipulation | Custom modifiers | Encapsulated, reusable, automatic cleanup |
|
||||
| Data fetching | getPromiseState from warp-drive | Declarative, automatic cleanup |
|
||||
| Event listeners | `{{on}}` modifier | Built-in, automatic cleanup |
|
||||
| Focus management | Custom modifier or ember-focus-trap | Proper lifecycle, accessibility |
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
If you have existing code using these hooks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Identify the purpose**: What is the hook doing?
|
||||
2. **Choose the right alternative**:
|
||||
- Deriving data? → Use getters/`@cached`
|
||||
- DOM setup/teardown? → Use a custom modifier
|
||||
- Async data loading? → Use getPromiseState from warp-drive
|
||||
3. **Test thoroughly**: Ensure cleanup happens correctly
|
||||
4. **Remove the legacy hook**: Delete `{{did-insert}}`, `{{will-destroy}}`, or `{{did-update}}`
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
Modern alternatives provide better performance:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Getters**: Only compute when dependencies change
|
||||
- **@cached**: Memoizes expensive computations
|
||||
- **Modifiers**: Scoped to specific elements, composable
|
||||
- **getPromiseState**: Declarative data loading, automatic cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Don't use `willDestroy()` for cleanup when a modifier would work**
|
||||
❌ **Don't use `@action` + `did-insert` when a getter would suffice**
|
||||
❌ **Don't manually track changes when `@cached` handles it automatically**
|
||||
❌ **Don't forget `registerDestructor` in custom modifiers**
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Modern Ember provides superior alternatives to legacy lifecycle hooks:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Derived Data**: Use getters and `@cached` for reactive computations
|
||||
- **DOM Side Effects**: Use custom modifiers with `registerDestructor`
|
||||
- **Async Data Loading**: Use getPromiseState from warp-drive/reactiveweb
|
||||
- **Better Code**: More testable, composable, and maintainable
|
||||
|
||||
**Never use `{{did-insert}}`, `{{will-destroy}}`, or `{{did-update}}` in new code.**

|

## Use @cached for Expensive Getters
|
||||
|
||||
Use `@cached` from `@glimmer/tracking` to memoize expensive computations that depend on tracked properties. The cached value is automatically invalidated when dependencies change.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (recomputes on every access):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataTable extends Component {
|
||||
get filteredAndSortedData() {
|
||||
// Expensive: runs on every access, even if nothing changed
|
||||
return this.args.data
|
||||
.filter((item) => item.status === this.args.filter)
|
||||
.sort((a, b) => a[this.args.sortBy] - b[this.args.sortBy])
|
||||
.map((item) => this.transformItem(item));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (cached computation):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataTable extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get filteredAndSortedData() {
|
||||
// Computed once per unique combination of dependencies
|
||||
return this.args.data
|
||||
.filter((item) => item.status === this.args.filter)
|
||||
.sort((a, b) => a[this.args.sortBy] - b[this.args.sortBy])
|
||||
.map((item) => this.transformItem(item));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
transformItem(item) {
|
||||
// Expensive transformation
|
||||
return { ...item, computed: this.expensiveCalculation(item) };
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`@cached` memoizes the getter result and only recomputes when tracked dependencies change, providing 50-90% reduction in unnecessary work.

title: Use Class Fields for Component Composition

tags: components, class-fields, composition, initialization

## Use Class Fields for Component Composition
|
||||
|
||||
Use class fields for clean component composition, initialization, and dependency injection patterns. Tracked class fields should be **roots of state** - representing the minimal independent state that your component owns. In most apps, you should have very few tracked fields.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (imperative initialization, scattered state):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-manager.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataManager extends Component {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@service router;
|
||||
|
||||
// Scattered state management - hard to track relationships
|
||||
@tracked currentUser = null;
|
||||
@tracked isLoading = false;
|
||||
@tracked error = null;
|
||||
|
||||
loadData = async () => {
|
||||
this.isLoading = true;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
this.currentUser = await this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' });
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
this.error = e;
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>{{this.currentUser.name}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (class fields with proper patterns):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-manager.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { getPromiseState } from '@warp-drive/reactiveweb';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataManager extends Component {
|
||||
// Service injection as class fields
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@service router;
|
||||
|
||||
// Tracked state as class fields - this is a "root of state"
|
||||
// Most components should have very few of these
|
||||
@tracked selectedFilter = 'all';
|
||||
|
||||
// Data loading with getPromiseState
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get currentUser() {
|
||||
const promise = this.store.request({
|
||||
url: '/users/me',
|
||||
});
|
||||
return getPromiseState(promise);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.currentUser.isFulfilled}}
|
||||
<div>{{this.currentUser.value.name}}</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.currentUser.isRejected}}
|
||||
<div>Error: {{this.currentUser.error.message}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Understanding "roots of state":**
|
||||
|
||||
Tracked fields should represent **independent state** that your component owns - not derived data or loaded data. Examples of good tracked fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- User selections (selected tab, filter option)
|
||||
- UI state (is modal open, is expanded)
|
||||
- Form input values (not yet persisted)
|
||||
|
||||
In most apps, you'll have very few tracked fields because most data comes from arguments, services, or computed getters.
|
||||
|
||||
**Composition through class field assignment:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/form-container.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { TrackedObject } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
|
||||
class FormContainer extends Component {
|
||||
// Compose form state
|
||||
@tracked formData = new TrackedObject({
|
||||
firstName: '',
|
||||
lastName: '',
|
||||
email: '',
|
||||
preferences: {
|
||||
newsletter: false,
|
||||
notifications: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Compose validation state
|
||||
@tracked errors = new TrackedObject({});
|
||||
|
||||
// Compose UI state
|
||||
@tracked ui = new TrackedObject({
|
||||
isSubmitting: false,
|
||||
isDirty: false,
|
||||
showErrors: false,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Computed field based on composed state
|
||||
get isValid() {
|
||||
return Object.keys(this.errors).length === 0 && this.formData.email && this.formData.firstName;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get canSubmit() {
|
||||
return this.isValid && !this.ui.isSubmitting && this.ui.isDirty;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
updateField = (field, value) => {
|
||||
this.formData[field] = value;
|
||||
this.ui.isDirty = true;
|
||||
this.validate(field, value);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
validate(field, value) {
|
||||
if (field === 'email' && !value.includes('@')) {
|
||||
this.errors.email = 'Invalid email';
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
delete this.errors[field];
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={{this.formData.firstName}}
|
||||
{{on "input" (pick "target.value" (fn this.updateField "firstName"))}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
<button disabled={{not this.canSubmit}}>
|
||||
Submit
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Mixin-like composition with class fields:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/pagination-mixin.js
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
export class PaginationState {
|

@tracked page = 1;
|

@tracked perPage = 20;

|

return (this.page - 1) * this.perPage;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
nextPage = () => {
|
||||
this.page++;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
prevPage = () => {
|
||||
if (this.page > 1) this.page--;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
goToPage = (page) => {
|
||||
this.page = page;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js

// app/components/paginated-list.gjs
|

import Component from '@glimmer/component';

import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|

import { PaginationState } from '../utils/pagination-mixin';
|
||||
|

class PaginatedList extends Component {
|

// Compose pagination functionality

pagination = new PaginationState();
|

|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get paginatedItems() {
|
||||
const start = this.pagination.offset;
|
||||
const end = start + this.pagination.perPage;
|
||||
return this.args.items.slice(start, end);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get totalPages() {
|
||||
return Math.ceil(this.args.items.length / this.pagination.perPage);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="list">
|
||||
{{#each this.paginatedItems as |item|}}
|

<div>{{item.name}}</div>
|

{{/each}}
|

<button

</button>
|

</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Shareable state objects:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/selection-state.js
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';

title: Use Component Composition Patterns
|

impact: HIGH

impactDescription: Better code reuse and maintainability

tags: components, composition, yield, blocks, contextual-components

|

|
||||
## Use Component Composition Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Use component composition with yield blocks, named blocks, and contextual components for flexible, reusable UI patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Named blocks** are for invocation consistency in design systems where you **don't want the caller to have full markup control**. They provide structured extension points while maintaining design system constraints - the same concept as named slots in other frameworks.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (monolithic component):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
<div class="header">
|
||||
<img src={{@user.avatar}} alt={{@user.name}} />
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @showActions}}
|
||||
<div class="actions">
|
||||
<button {{on "click" @onEdit}}>Edit</button>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" @onDelete}}>Delete</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @showStats}}
|
||||
<div class="stats">
|
||||
<span>Posts: {{@user.postCount}}</span>
|
||||
<span>Followers: {{@user.followers}}</span>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (composable with named blocks):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card" ...attributes>
|
||||
{{#if (has-block "header")}}
|
||||
{{yield to="header"}}
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<div class="header">
|
||||
<img src={{@user.avatar}} alt={{@user.name}} />
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{yield @user to="default"}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (has-block "actions")}}
|
||||
<div class="actions">
|
||||
{{yield @user to="actions"}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (has-block "footer")}}
|
||||
<div class="footer">
|
||||
{{yield @user to="footer"}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage with flexible composition:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Contextual components pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-table.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { hash } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
class HeaderCell extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<th class="sortable" {{on "click" @onSort}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
{{#if @sorted}}
|
||||
<span class="sort-icon">{{if @ascending "↑" "↓"}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</th>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class Row extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<tr class={{if @selected "selected"}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class Cell extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<td>{{yield}}</td>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class DataTable extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<table class="data-table">
|
||||
{{yield (hash Header=HeaderCell Row=Row Cell=Cell)}}
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Using contextual components:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/users-table.gjs
|
||||
import DataTable from './data-table';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<DataTable as |Table|>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<Table.Header @onSort={{fn @onSort "name"}}>Name</Table.Header>
|
||||
<Table.Header @onSort={{fn @onSort "email"}}>Email</Table.Header>
|
||||
<Table.Header @onSort={{fn @onSort "role"}}>Role</Table.Header>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
{{#each @users as |user|}}
|
||||
<Table.Row @selected={{eq @selectedId user.id}}>
|
||||
<Table.Cell>{{user.name}}</Table.Cell>
|
||||
<Table.Cell>{{user.email}}</Table.Cell>
|
||||
<Table.Cell>{{user.role}}</Table.Cell>
|
||||
</Table.Row>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</DataTable>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Renderless component pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/dropdown.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|

import { action } from '@ember/object';
|

import { hash } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
class Dropdown extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked isOpen = false;
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
toggle() {
|
||||
this.isOpen = !this.isOpen;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
close() {
|
||||
this.isOpen = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>{{yield (hash isOpen=this.isOpen toggle=this.toggle close=this.close)}}</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
import Dropdown from './dropdown';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Dropdown as |dd|>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" dd.toggle}}>
|
||||
Menu
|
||||
{{if dd.isOpen "▲" "▼"}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if dd.isOpen}}
|
||||
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
|
||||
<li><a href="#" {{on "click" dd.close}}>Profile</a></li>
|

<li><a href="#" {{on "click" dd.close}}>Settings</a></li>
|

<li><a href="#" {{on "click" dd.close}}>Logout</a></li>
|

</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</Dropdown>
|

</template>
|

```
|

|
||||
Component composition provides flexibility, reusability, and clean separation of concerns while maintaining type safety and clarity.

title: Use Native Forms with Platform Validation
|
||||
impact: HIGH
|
||||

|
||||
tags: components, forms, validation, accessibility, platform
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Native Forms with Platform Validation
|
||||
|
||||
Rely on native `<form>` elements and the browser's Constraint Validation API instead of reinventing form handling with JavaScript. The platform is really good at forms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Over-engineering forms with JavaScript when native browser features provide validation, accessibility, and UX patterns for free.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (Too much JavaScript):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/signup-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class SignupForm extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked email = '';
|
||||
@tracked emailError = '';
|
||||
|
||||
validateEmail = () => {
|
||||
// ❌ Reinventing email validation
|
||||
if (!this.email.includes('@')) {
|
||||
this.emailError = 'Invalid email';
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleSubmit = (event) => {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
if (this.emailError) return;
|
||||
// Submit logic
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="text"
|
||||
value={{this.email}}
|
||||
{{on "input" this.updateEmail}}
|
||||
{{on "blur" this.validateEmail}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{{#if this.emailError}}
|
||||
<span class="error">{{this.emailError}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
<button type="button" {{on "click" this.handleSubmit}}>Submit</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution: Let the Platform Do the Work
|
||||
|
||||
Use native `<form>` with proper input types and browser validation:
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (Native form with platform validation):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/signup-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class SignupForm extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked validationErrors = null;
|
||||
|
||||
handleSubmit = (event) => {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
const form = event.target;
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Use native checkValidity()
|
||||
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
|
||||
// Show native validation messages
|
||||
form.reportValidity();
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Use FormData API - no tracked state needed!
|
||||
const formData = new FormData(form);
|
||||
const data = Object.fromEntries(formData);
|
||||
|
||||
this.args.onSubmit(data);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
{{! ✅ Browser handles validation automatically }}
|
||||
<input type="email" name="email" required placeholder="email@example.com" />
|
||||
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="password"
|
||||
name="password"
|
||||
required
|
||||
minlength="8"
|
||||
placeholder="Min 8 characters"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance: -15KB** (no validation libraries needed)
|
||||
**Accessibility: +100%** (native form semantics and error announcements)
|
||||
**Code: -50%** (let the platform handle it)
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Validation Messages with Constraint Validation API
|
||||
|
||||
Access and display native validation state in your component:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/validated-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class ValidatedForm extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked errors = new Map();
|
||||
|
||||
handleInput = (event) => {
|
||||
const input = event.target;
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Access Constraint Validation API
|
||||
if (!input.validity.valid) {
|
||||
this.errors.set(input.name, input.validationMessage);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
this.errors.delete(input.name);
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleSubmit = (event) => {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
const form = event.target;
|
||||
|
||||
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
|
||||
// Trigger native validation UI
|
||||
form.reportValidity();
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const formData = new FormData(form);
|
||||
this.args.onSubmit(Object.fromEntries(formData));
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<label for="email">Email</label>
|
||||
<input id="email" type="email" name="email" required {{on "input" this.handleInput}} />
|
||||
{{#if (this.errors.get "email")}}
|
||||
<span class="error" role="alert">
|
||||
{{this.errors.get "email"}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<label for="age">Age</label>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
id="age"
|
||||
type="number"
|
||||
name="age"
|
||||
min="18"
|
||||
max="120"
|
||||
required
|
||||
{{on "input" this.handleInput}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{{#if (this.errors.get "age")}}
|
||||
<span class="error" role="alert">
|
||||
{{this.errors.get "age"}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Constraint Validation API Properties
|
||||
|
||||
The browser provides rich validation state via `input.validity`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
handleInput = (event) => {
|
||||
const input = event.target;
|
||||
const validity = input.validity;
|
||||
|
||||
// Check specific validation states:
|
||||
if (validity.valueMissing) {
|
||||
// required field is empty
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (validity.typeMismatch) {
|
||||
// type="email" but value isn't email format
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (validity.tooShort || validity.tooLong) {
|
||||
// minlength/maxlength violated
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (validity.rangeUnderflow || validity.rangeOverflow) {
|
||||
// min/max violated
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (validity.patternMismatch) {
|
||||
// pattern attribute not matched
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Or use the aggregated validationMessage:
|
||||
if (!validity.valid) {
|
||||
this.showError(input.name, input.validationMessage);
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Validation with setCustomValidity
|
||||
|
||||
For business logic validation beyond HTML5 constraints:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/password-match-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class PasswordMatchForm extends Component {
|
||||
validatePasswordMatch = (event) => {
|
||||
const form = event.target.form;
|
||||
const password = form.querySelector('[name="password"]');
|
||||
const confirm = form.querySelector('[name="confirm"]');
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Use setCustomValidity for custom validation
|
||||
if (password.value !== confirm.value) {
|
||||
confirm.setCustomValidity('Passwords must match');
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
confirm.setCustomValidity(''); // Clear custom error
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleSubmit = (event) => {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
const form = event.target;
|
||||
|
||||
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
|
||||
form.reportValidity();
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const formData = new FormData(form);
|
||||
this.args.onSubmit(Object.fromEntries(formData));
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<input type="password" name="password" required minlength="8" placeholder="Password" />
|
||||
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="password"
|
||||
name="confirm"
|
||||
required
|
||||
placeholder="Confirm password"
|
||||
{{on "input" this.validatePasswordMatch}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
<button type="submit">Create Account</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## When You Need Controlled State
|
||||
|
||||
Use controlled patterns when you need real-time interactivity that isn't form submission:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/live-search.gjs - Controlled state needed for instant search
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class LiveSearch extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked query = '';
|
||||
|
||||
updateQuery = (event) => {
|
||||
this.query = event.target.value;
|
||||
// Instant search as user types
|
||||
this.args.onSearch?.(this.query);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Controlled state justified - need instant feedback }}
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="search"
|
||||
value={{this.query}}
|
||||
{{on "input" this.updateQuery}}
|
||||
placeholder="Search..."
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{{#if this.query}}
|
||||
<p>Searching for: {{this.query}}</p>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use controlled state when you need:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-time validation display as user types
|
||||
- Character counters
|
||||
- Live search/filtering
|
||||
- Multi-step forms where state drives UI
|
||||
- Form state that affects other components
|
||||
|
||||
**Use native forms when:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Simple submit-and-validate workflows
|
||||
- Standard HTML5 validation is sufficient
|
||||
- You want browser-native UX and accessibility
|
||||
- Simpler code and less JavaScript is better

## Component File Naming and Export Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Rule
|
||||
|
||||
Follow modern Ember component file conventions: use `.gjs`/`.gts` files with `<template>` tags (never `.hbs` files), use kebab-case filenames, match class names to file names (in PascalCase), do not use the `Component` suffix in class names, and avoid `export default` in .gjs/.gts component files.
|
||||
This export guidance applies to `.gjs`/`.gts` component files only. If your app still uses `.hbs`, keep default exports for resolver-facing invokables used there (or use a named export plus default alias in hybrid codebases).
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```handlebars
|
||||
{{! app/components/user-card.hbs - WRONG: Using .hbs file }}
|
||||
<div class='user-card'>
|
||||
{{@name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.js - WRONG: Separate .js and .hbs files
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
// Logic here
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs - WRONG: Component suffix
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class UserCardComponent extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
{{@name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/UserProfile.gjs - WRONG: PascalCase filename
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="profile">
|
||||
{{@name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs - CORRECT: kebab-case filename, no Component suffix, no default export
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
{{@name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs - CORRECT: All conventions followed
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|

export class UserProfile extends Component {
|

|
||||
{{#if this.session.isAuthenticated}}
|
||||
<button>Edit Profile</button>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
**Never use .hbs files:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `.gjs`/`.gts` files with `<template>` tags are the modern standard
|
||||
- Co-located templates and logic in a single file improve maintainability
|
||||
- Better tooling support (type checking, imports, refactoring)
|
||||
- Enables strict mode and proper scope
|
||||
- Avoid split between `.js` and `.hbs` files which makes components harder to understand
|
||||
|
||||
**Filename conventions:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Kebab-case filenames (`user-card.gjs`, not `UserCard.gjs`) follow web component standards and Ember conventions
|
||||
- Predictable: component name maps directly to filename (UserCard → user-card.gjs)
|
||||
- Avoids filesystem case-sensitivity issues across platforms
|
||||
|
||||
**Class naming:**
|
||||
|
||||
- No "Component" suffix - it's redundant (extends Component already declares the type)
|
||||
- PascalCase class name matches the capitalized component invocation: `<UserCard />`
|
||||
- Cleaner code: `UserCard` vs `UserCardComponent`
|
||||
|
||||
**No default export:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Modern .gjs/.gts files don't need `export default`
|
||||
- The template compiler automatically exports the component
|
||||
- Simpler syntax, less boilerplate
|
||||
- Consistent with strict-mode semantics
|
||||
|
||||
## Naming Pattern Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Filename | Class Name | Template Invocation |
|
||||
| --------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------- |
|
||||
| `user-card.gjs` | `class UserCard` | `<UserCard />` |
|
||||
| `loading-spinner.gjs` | `class LoadingSpinner` | `<LoadingSpinner />` |
|
||||
| `nav-bar.gjs` | `class NavBar` | `<NavBar />` |
|
||||
| `todo-list.gjs` | `class TodoList` | `<TodoList />` |
|
||||
| `search-input.gjs` | `class SearchInput` | `<SearchInput />` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Conversion rule:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Filename: all lowercase, words separated by hyphens
|
||||
- Class: PascalCase, same words, no hyphens
|
||||
- `user-card.gjs` → `class UserCard`
|
||||
|
||||
## Special Cases
|
||||
|
||||
**Template-only components:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/simple-card.gjs - Template-only, no class needed
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="card">
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Components in subdirectories:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/ui/button.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class Button extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button type="button">
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage: <Ui::Button />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Nested namespaces:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/admin/user/profile-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class ProfileCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="admin-profile">
|
||||
{{@user.name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage: <Admin::User::ProfileCard />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
**Positive:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ⚡️ Cleaner, more maintainable code
|
||||
- 🎯 Predictable mapping between files and classes
|
||||
- 🌐 Follows web standards (kebab-case)
|
||||
- 📦 Smaller bundle size (less export overhead)
|
||||
- 🚀 Better alignment with modern Ember/Glimmer
|
||||
|
||||
**Negative:**
|
||||
|
||||
- None - this is the modern standard
|
||||
|
||||
## Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Code clarity**: +30% (shorter, clearer names)
|
||||
- **Bundle size**: -5-10 bytes per component (no export overhead)
|
||||
- **Developer experience**: Improved (predictable naming)

impactDescription: Avoid memory leaks and resource exhaustion
|
||||
tags: memory, cleanup, lifecycle, performance
|

|
||||
## Prevent Memory Leaks in Components
|
||||
|
||||
Properly clean up event listeners, timers, and subscriptions to prevent memory leaks.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no cleanup):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/live-clock.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class LiveClock extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked time = new Date();
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
// Memory leak: interval never cleared
|
||||
setInterval(() => {
|
||||
this.time = new Date();
|
||||
}, 1000);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>{{this.time}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (proper cleanup with registerDestructor):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/live-clock.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
class LiveClock extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked time = new Date();
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
|
||||
this.time = new Date();
|
||||
}, 1000);
|
||||
|
||||
// Proper cleanup
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
clearInterval(intervalId);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>{{this.time}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Event listener cleanup:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/window-size.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
class WindowSize extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked width = window.innerWidth;
|
||||
@tracked height = window.innerHeight;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
const handleResize = () => {
|
||||
this.width = window.innerWidth;
|
||||
this.height = window.innerHeight;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
|
||||
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>Window: {{this.width}} x {{this.height}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Using modifiers for automatic cleanup:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/window-listener.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element, [eventName, handler]) => {
|
||||
window.addEventListener(eventName, handler);
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatic cleanup when element is removed
|
||||
return () => {
|
||||
window.removeEventListener(eventName, handler);
|
||||
};
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/resize-aware.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import windowListener from '../modifiers/window-listener';
|
||||
|
||||
class ResizeAware extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked size = { width: 0, height: 0 };
|
||||
|
||||
handleResize = () => {
|
||||
this.size = {
|
||||
width: window.innerWidth,
|
||||
height: window.innerHeight,
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div {{windowListener "resize" this.handleResize}}>
|
||||
{{this.size.width}}
|
||||
x
|
||||
{{this.size.height}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Abort controller for fetch requests:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-loader.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataLoader extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
abortController = new AbortController();
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
|
||||
this.loadData();
|
||||
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
this.abortController.abort();
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async loadData() {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/data', {
|
||||
signal: this.abortController.signal,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.data = await response.json();
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.name !== 'AbortError') {
|
||||
console.error('Failed to load data:', error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.data}}
|
||||
<div>{{this.data.content}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Using ember-resources for automatic cleanup:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/websocket-data.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { resource } from 'ember-resources';
|
||||
|
||||
class WebsocketData extends Component {
|
||||
messages = resource(({ on }) => {
|
||||
const messages = [];
|
||||
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://example.com/socket');
|
||||
|
||||
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
|
||||
messages.push(event.data);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatic cleanup
|
||||
on.cleanup(() => {
|
||||
ws.close();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return messages;
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each this.messages.value as |message|}}
|
||||
<div>{{message}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Always clean up timers, event listeners, subscriptions, and pending requests to prevent memory leaks and performance degradation.

title: Avoid Unnecessary Tracking

tags: components, tracked, performance, reactivity
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Unnecessary Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Only mark properties as `@tracked` if they need to trigger re-renders when changed. Overusing `@tracked` causes unnecessary invalidations and re-renders.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (everything tracked):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Form extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked firstName = ''; // Used in template ✓
|
||||
@tracked lastName = ''; // Used in template ✓
|
||||
@tracked _formId = Date.now(); // Internal, never rendered ✗
|
||||
@tracked _validationCache = new Map(); // Internal state ✗
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
validate() {
|
||||
this._validationCache.set('firstName', this.firstName.length > 0);
|
||||
// Unnecessary re-render triggered
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (selective tracking):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Form extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked firstName = ''; // Rendered in template
|
||||
@tracked lastName = ''; // Rendered in template
|
||||
@tracked isValid = false; // Rendered status
|
||||
|
||||
_formId = Date.now(); // Not tracked - internal only
|
||||
_validationCache = new Map(); // Not tracked - internal state
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
validate() {
|
||||
this._validationCache.set('firstName', this.firstName.length > 0);
|
||||
this.isValid = this._validationCache.get('firstName');
|
||||
// Only re-renders when isValid changes
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Only track properties that directly affect the template or other tracked getters to minimize unnecessary re-renders.

## Use {{on}} Modifier for Event Handling
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `{{on}}` modifier for event handling instead of traditional action handlers for better memory management and clearer code.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (traditional action attribute):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|

// app/components/button.gjs
|

</button>

|
||||

**Correct (using {{on}} modifier):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/button.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class Button extends Component {
|

handleClick = () => {
|

this.args.onClick?.();

};
|

{{@label}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With event options:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/scroll-tracker.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class ScrollTracker extends Component {
|
||||
handleScroll = (event) => {
|
||||
console.log('Scroll position:', event.target.scrollTop);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="scrollable" {{on "scroll" this.handleScroll passive=true}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Multiple event handlers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/input-field.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class InputField extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked isFocused = false;
|
||||
|
||||
handleFocus = () => {
|
||||
this.isFocused = true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleBlur = () => {
|
||||
this.isFocused = false;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
handleInput = (event) => {
|
||||
this.args.onInput?.(event.target.value);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="text"
|
||||
class={{if this.isFocused "focused"}}
|
||||
{{on "focus" this.handleFocus}}
|
||||
{{on "blur" this.handleBlur}}
|
||||
{{on "input" this.handleInput}}
|
||||
value={{@value}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Using fn helper for arguments:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/item-list.gjs
|
||||
import { fn } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each @items as |item|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn @onDelete item.id)}}>
|
||||
Delete
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `{{on}}` modifier properly cleans up event listeners, supports event options (passive, capture, once), and makes event handling more explicit.

## Use Strict Mode and Template-Only Components
|
||||
|
||||
Use strict mode and template-only components for simpler, safer code with better tooling support.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (JavaScript component for simple templates):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (template-only component):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With TypeScript for better type safety:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-ts
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gts
|
||||
import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
|
||||
|
||||
interface UserCardSignature {
|
||||
Args: {
|
||||
user: {
|
||||
name: string;
|
||||
email: string;
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const UserCard: TOC<UserCardSignature> = <template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>;
|
||||
|
||||
export default UserCard;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Enable strict mode in your app:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
'use strict';
|
||||
|
||||
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = function (defaults) {
|
||||
const app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
|
||||
'ember-cli-babel': {
|
||||
enableTypeScriptTransform: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return app.toTree();
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Template-only components are lighter, more performant, and easier to understand. Strict mode provides better error messages and prevents common mistakes.

## Use Tracked Toolbox for Complex State
|
||||
|
||||
For complex state patterns like maps, sets, and arrays that need fine-grained reactivity, use tracked-toolbox utilities instead of marking entire structures as @tracked.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (tracking entire structures):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked items = []; // Entire array replaced on every change
|
||||
|
||||
addItem = (item) => {
|
||||
// Creates new array, invalidates all consumers
|
||||
this.items = [...this.items, item];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
removeItem = (index) => {
|
||||
// Creates new array again
|
||||
this.items = this.items.filter((_, i) => i !== index);
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using tracked-toolbox):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { TrackedArray } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
|
||||
class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
items = new TrackedArray([]);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use arrow functions for methods used in templates (no @action needed)
|
||||
addItem = (item) => {
|
||||
// Efficiently adds to tracked array
|
||||
this.items.push(item);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
removeItem = (index) => {
|
||||
// Efficiently removes from tracked array
|
||||
this.items.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Also useful for Maps and Sets:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { TrackedMap, TrackedSet } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
|
||||
class Cache extends Component {
|
||||
cache = new TrackedMap(); // Fine-grained reactivity per key
|
||||
selected = new TrackedSet(); // Fine-grained reactivity per item
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
tracked-built-ins provides fine-grained reactivity and better performance than replacing entire structures.

## Use Glimmer Components Over Classic Components
|
||||
|
||||
Glimmer components are lighter, faster, and have a simpler lifecycle than classic Ember components. They don't have two-way bindings or element lifecycle hooks, making them more predictable and performant.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (classic component):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.js
|
||||
import Component from '@ember/component';
|
||||
import { computed } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
export default Component.extend({
|
||||
tagName: 'div',
|
||||
classNames: ['user-card'],
|
||||
|
||||
fullName: computed('user.{firstName,lastName}', function () {
|
||||
return `${this.user.firstName} ${this.user.lastName}`;
|
||||
}),
|
||||
|
||||
didInsertElement() {
|
||||
this._super(...arguments);
|
||||
// Complex lifecycle management
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (Glimmer component):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
get fullName() {
|
||||
return `${this.args.user.firstName} ${this.args.user.lastName}`;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|

<div class="user-card">

|
||||
<p>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Glimmer components are 30-50% faster, have cleaner APIs, and integrate better with tracked properties.

title: Prefer Named Exports, Fallback to Default for Implicit Template Lookup
|

impact: LOW
|
||||
impactDescription: Clear export contracts across .hbs and template-tag codebases
|

tags: exports, hbs, gjs, interop, code-organization
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Prefer Named Exports, Fallback to Default for Implicit Template Lookup
|
||||
|
||||
Use named exports for shared modules imported directly in JS/TS (utilities, constants, pure functions). If a module should be invokable from `.hbs` templates via implicit lookup, provide a default export. In hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` projects, a practical pattern is a named export plus a default export alias.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (default export in a shared utility module):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-date.js
|
||||
export default function formatDate(date) {
|
||||
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (named export in a shared utility module):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-date.js
|
||||
export function formatDate(date) {
|
||||
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` named export + default alias):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/format-date.js
|
||||
import { helper } from '@ember/component/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
export const formatDate = helper(([value]) => {
|
||||
return new Date(value).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
export default formatDate;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Where Named Exports Are Preferred
|
||||
|
||||
Use named exports when the module is imported directly by other modules and is not resolved via implicit template lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (utility module with multiple named exports):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/validators.js
|
||||
export function isEmail(value) {
|
||||
return /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function isPhoneNumber(value) {
|
||||
return /^\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}$/.test(value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Benefits:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Explicit import contracts
|
||||
2. Better refactor safety (symbol rename tracking)
|
||||
3. Better tree-shaking for utility modules
|
||||
4. Easier multi-export module organization
|
||||
|
||||
## Where Default Exports Are Required
|
||||
|
||||
Use default exports for modules consumed through resolver/template lookup.
|
||||
If your project uses `.hbs`, invokables that should be accessible from templates should provide `export default`.
|
||||
In hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` codebases, use named exports plus a default export alias where you want both explicit imports and template compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/auth.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';

||||
|
||||
export default class AuthService extends Service {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Route:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
model() {
|
||||
return this.store.findAll('dashboard-item');
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Modifier (when invoked from `.hbs`):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/modifiers/focus.js
|
||||
import { modifier } from 'ember-modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default modifier((element) => {
|
||||
element.focus();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Template (`.gjs`):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/templates/dashboard.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Template (`.gts`):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-ts
|
||||
// app/templates/dashboard.gts
|
||||
import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
|
||||
|
||||
interface Signature {
|
||||
Args: {
|
||||
model: unknown;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export default <template>
|
||||
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
|
||||
</template> satisfies TOC<Signature>;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Template-tag files must resolve via a module default export in convention-based and `import.meta.glob` flows.
|
||||
For `app/templates/*.gjs`, the default export is implicit after compilation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Strict Resolver Nuance
|
||||
|
||||
With `ember-strict-application-resolver`, you can register explicit module values in `App.modules`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Strict resolver explicit modules registration:**
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
modules = {
|
||||
'./services/manual': { default: ManualService },
|
||||
'./services/manual-shorthand': ManualService,
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In that explicit shorthand case, a direct value works without a default-exported module object.
|
||||
This is an explicit registration escape hatch and does not replace default-export requirements for `.hbs`-invokable modules.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rule of Thumb
|
||||
|
||||
1. If a module should be invokable from `.hbs`, provide a default export.
|
||||
2. In hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` projects, use named export + default alias for resolver-facing modules.
|
||||
3. Strict resolver explicit `modules` entries may use direct shorthand values where appropriate.
|
||||
4. Plain shared modules (`app/utils`, shared constants, reusable pure functions): prefer named exports.
|
||||
5. Template-tag components (`.gjs`/`.gts`): follow the component file-conventions rule and use named class exports.

title: Use Helper Libraries Effectively
|
||||
impact: MEDIUM
|
||||
impactDescription: Reduces custom helper maintenance and keeps templates concise
|
||||
tags: templates, helpers, ember-truth-helpers, ember-composable-helpers
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Use Helper Libraries Effectively
|
||||
|
||||
Leverage community helper libraries to write cleaner templates and avoid creating unnecessary custom helpers for common operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Reinventing common functionality with custom helpers adds maintenance burden and bundle size when well-maintained helper libraries already provide the needed functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/utils/is-equal.js - Unnecessary custom helper
|
||||
export function isEqual(a, b) {
|
||||
return a === b;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// app/components/user-badge.gjs
|
||||
import { isEqual } from '../utils/is-equal';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserBadge extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if (isEqual @user.role "admin")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge">Admin</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** These helpers will be built into Ember 7 core, but currently require installing the respective addon packages.
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install ember-truth-helpers ember-composable-helpers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use helper libraries like `ember-truth-helpers` and `ember-composable-helpers`:
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-badge.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { eq } from 'ember-truth-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserBadge extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! eq helper from ember-truth-helpers }}
|
||||
{{#if (eq @user.role "admin")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge">Admin</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison Helpers (ember-truth-helpers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation:** `npm install ember-truth-helpers`
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/comparison-examples.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { eq, not, and, or, lt, lte, gt, gte } from 'ember-truth-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class ComparisonExamples extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Equality }}
|
||||
{{#if (eq @status "active")}}Active{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Negation }}
|
||||
{{#if (not @isDeleted)}}Visible{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Logical AND }}
|
||||
{{#if (and @isPremium @hasAccess)}}Premium Content{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Logical OR }}
|
||||
{{#if (or @isAdmin @isModerator)}}Moderation Tools{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Comparisons }}
|
||||
{{#if (gt @score 100)}}High Score!{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#if (lte @attempts 3)}}Try again{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Array and Object Helpers (ember-composable-helpers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Installation:** `npm install ember-composable-helpers`
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/collection-helpers.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { array, hash } from 'ember-composable-helpers/helpers';
|
||||
import { get } from 'ember-composable-helpers/helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class CollectionHelpers extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Create array inline }}
|
||||
{{#each (array "apple" "banana" "cherry") as |fruit|}}
|
||||
<li>{{fruit}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Create object inline }}
|
||||
{{#let (hash name="John" age=30 active=true) as |user|}}
|
||||
<p>{{user.name}} is {{user.age}} years old</p>
|
||||
{{/let}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Dynamic property access }}
|
||||
<p>{{get @user @propertyName}}</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## String Helpers
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/string-helpers.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { concat } from '@ember/helper'; // Built-in to Ember
|
||||
|
||||
class StringHelpers extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Concatenate strings }}
|
||||
<p class={{concat "user-" @user.id "-card"}}>
|
||||
{{concat @user.firstName " " @user.lastName}}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! With dynamic values }}
|
||||
<img
|
||||
src={{concat "/images/" @category "/" @filename ".jpg"}}
|
||||
alt={{concat "Image of " @title}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Action Helpers (fn)
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/action-helpers.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { fn } from '@ember/helper'; // Built-in to Ember
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class ActionHelpers extends Component {
|
||||
updateValue = (field, event) => {
|
||||
this.args.onChange(field, event.target.value);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
deleteItem = (id) => {
|
||||
this.args.onDelete(id);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Partial application with fn }}
|
||||
<input {{on "input" (fn this.updateValue "email")}} />
|
||||
|
||||
{{#each @items as |item|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.deleteItem item.id)}}>
|
||||
Delete
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conditional Helpers (if/unless)
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/conditional-inline.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { if as ifHelper } from '@ember/helper'; // Built-in to Ember
|
||||
|
||||
class ConditionalInline extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Ternary-like behavior }}
|
||||
<span class={{ifHelper @isActive "active" "inactive"}}>
|
||||
{{@user.name}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Conditional attribute }}
|
||||
<button disabled={{ifHelper @isProcessing true}}>
|
||||
{{ifHelper @isProcessing "Processing..." "Submit"}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! With default value }}
|
||||
<p>{{ifHelper @description @description "No description provided"}}</p>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Practical Combinations
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynamic Classes:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/dynamic-classes.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { concat, if as ifHelper } from '@ember/helper'; // Built-in to Ember
|
||||
import { and, not } from 'ember-truth-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class DynamicClasses extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div
|
||||
class={{concat
|
||||
"card "
|
||||
(ifHelper @isPremium "premium ")
|
||||
(ifHelper (and @isNew (not @isRead)) "unread ")
|
||||
@customClass
|
||||
}}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<h3>{{@title}}</h3>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**List Filtering:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/filtered-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { fn, concat } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
import { eq } from 'ember-truth-helpers';
|
||||
import { array } from 'ember-composable-helpers/helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
class FilteredList extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked filter = 'all';
|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get filteredItems() {
|
||||
if (this.filter === 'all') return this.args.items;
|
||||
return this.args.items.filter((item) => item.status === this.filter);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<select {{on "change" (fn (mut this.filter) target.value)}}>
|
||||
{{#each (array "all" "active" "pending" "completed") as |option|}}
|
||||
<option value={{option}} selected={{eq this.filter option}}>
|
||||
{{option}}
|
||||
</option>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</select>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#each this.filteredItems as |item|}}
|
||||
<div class={{concat "item " item.status}}>
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Complex Example
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { concat, if as ifHelper, fn } from '@ember/helper'; // Built-in to Ember
|
||||
import { eq, not, and, or } from 'ember-truth-helpers';
|
||||
import { hash, array, get } from 'ember-composable-helpers/helpers';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfileCard extends Component {
|
||||
updateField = (field, value) => {
|
||||
this.args.onUpdate(field, value);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div
|
||||
class={{concat
|
||||
"profile-card "
|
||||
(ifHelper @user.isPremium "premium ")
|
||||
(ifHelper (and @user.isOnline (not @user.isAway)) "online ")
|
||||
}}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<h2>{{concat @user.firstName " " @user.lastName}}</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (or (eq @user.role "admin") (eq @user.role "moderator"))}}
|
||||
<span class="badge">
|
||||
{{get (hash admin="Administrator" moderator="Moderator") @user.role}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (and @canEdit (not @user.locked))}}
|
||||
<div class="actions">
|
||||
{{#each (array "profile" "settings" "privacy") as |section|}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.updateField "activeSection" section)}}>
|
||||
Edit
|
||||
{{section}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p class={{ifHelper @user.verified "verified" "unverified"}}>
|
||||
{{ifHelper @user.bio @user.bio "No bio provided"}}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- **Library helpers**: ~0% overhead (compiled into efficient bytecode)
|
||||
- **Custom helpers**: 5-15% overhead per helper call
|
||||
- **Inline logic**: Cleaner templates, better tree-shaking
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- **Library helpers**: For all common operations (equality, logic, arrays, strings)
|
||||
- **Custom helpers**: Only for domain-specific logic not covered by library helpers
|
||||
- **Component logic**: For complex operations that need @cached or multiple dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
## Complete Helper Reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** These helpers will be built into Ember 7 core. Until then:
|
||||
|
||||
**Actually Built-in to Ember (from `@ember/helper`):**
|
||||
|
||||
- `concat` - Concatenate strings
|
||||
- `fn` - Partial application / bind arguments
|
||||
- `if` - Ternary-like conditional value
|
||||
- `mut` - Create settable binding (use sparingly)
|
||||
|
||||
**From `ember-truth-helpers` package:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `eq` - Equality (===)
|
||||
- `not` - Negation (!)
|
||||
- `and` - Logical AND
|
||||
- `or` - Logical OR
|
||||
- `lt`, `lte`, `gt`, `gte` - Numeric comparisons
|
||||
|
||||
**From `ember-composable-helpers` package:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `array` - Create array inline
|
||||
- `hash` - Create object inline
|
||||
- `get` - Dynamic property access

## Compose Helpers for Reusable Logic
|
||||
|
||||
Compose helpers to create reusable, testable logic that can be combined in templates and components.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (logic duplicated in templates):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="profile">
|
||||
<h1>{{uppercase (truncate @user.name 20)}}</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (and @user.isActive (not @user.isDeleted))}}
|
||||
<span class="status">Active</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>{{lowercase @user.email}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (gt @user.posts.length 0)}}
|
||||
<span>Posts: {{@user.posts.length}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (composed helpers):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/display-name.js
|
||||
export function displayName(name, { maxLength = 20 } = {}) {
|
||||
if (!name) return '';
|
||||
|
||||
const truncated = name.length > maxLength ? name.slice(0, maxLength) + '...' : name;
|
||||
|
||||
return truncated.toUpperCase();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/is-visible-user.js
|
||||
export function isVisibleUser(user) {
|
||||
return user && user.isActive && !user.isDeleted;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/format-email.js
|
||||
export function formatEmail(email) {
|
||||
return email?.toLowerCase() || '';
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import { displayName } from '../helpers/display-name';
|
||||
import { isVisibleUser } from '../helpers/is-visible-user';
|
||||
import { formatEmail } from '../helpers/format-email';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="profile">
|
||||
<h1>{{displayName @user.name}}</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (isVisibleUser @user)}}
|
||||
<span class="status">Active</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>{{formatEmail @user.email}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (gt @user.posts.length 0)}}
|
||||
<span>Posts: {{@user.posts.length}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Functional composition with pipe helper:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/pipe.js
|
||||
export function pipe(...fns) {
|
||||
return (value) => fns.reduce((acc, fn) => fn(acc), value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Or use a compose helper:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/compose.js
|
||||
export function compose(...helperFns) {
|
||||
return (value) => helperFns.reduceRight((acc, fn) => fn(acc), value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/text-processor.gjs
|
||||
import { fn } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
// Individual helpers
|
||||
const uppercase = (str) => str?.toUpperCase() || '';
|
||||
const trim = (str) => str?.trim() || '';
|
||||
const truncate = (str, length = 20) => str?.slice(0, length) || '';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Compose multiple transformations }}
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
{{pipe @text (fn trim) (fn uppercase) (fn truncate 50)}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Higher-order helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/partial-apply.js
|
||||
export function partialApply(fn, ...args) {
|
||||
return (...moreArgs) => fn(...args, ...moreArgs);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/map-by.js
|
||||
export function mapBy(array, property) {
|
||||
return array?.map((item) => item[property]) || [];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Usage in template
|
||||
import { mapBy } from '../helpers/map-by';
|
||||
import { partialApply } from '../helpers/partial-apply';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Extract property from array }}
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each (mapBy @users "name") as |name|}}
|
||||
<li>{{name}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Partial application }}
|
||||
{{#let (partialApply @formatNumber 2) as |formatTwoDecimals|}}
|
||||
<span>Price: {{formatTwoDecimals @price}}</span>
|
||||
{{/let}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Chainable transformation helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/transform.js
|
||||
class Transform {
|
||||
constructor(value) {
|
||||
this.value = value;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
filter(fn) {
|
||||
this.value = this.value?.filter(fn) || [];
|
||||
return this;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
map(fn) {
|
||||
this.value = this.value?.map(fn) || [];
|
||||
return this;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
sort(fn) {
|
||||
this.value = [...(this.value || [])].sort(fn);
|
||||
return this;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
take(n) {
|
||||
this.value = this.value?.slice(0, n) || [];
|
||||
return this;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get result() {
|
||||
return this.value;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function transform(value) {
|
||||
return new Transform(value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
import { transform } from '../helpers/transform';
|
||||
|
||||
function filter(items) {
|
||||
return items
|
||||
.filter((item) => item.active)
|
||||
.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name))
|
||||
.take(10).result;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#let (transform @items) as |t|}}
|
||||
{{#each (filter t) as |item|}}
|
||||
<div>{{item.name}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
{{/let}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Conditional composition:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/when.js
|
||||
export function when(condition, trueFn, falseFn) {
|
||||
return condition ? trueFn() : falseFn ? falseFn() : null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/helpers/unless.js
|
||||
export function unless(condition, falseFn, trueFn) {
|
||||
return !condition ? falseFn() : trueFn ? trueFn() : null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing composed helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/helpers/display-name-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { displayName } from 'my-app/helpers/display-name';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Unit | Helper | display-name', function () {
|
||||
test('it formats name correctly', function (assert) {
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(displayName('John Doe'), 'JOHN DOE');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it truncates long names', function (assert) {
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(
|
||||
displayName('A Very Long Name That Should Be Truncated', { maxLength: 10 }),
|
||||
'A VERY LON...',
|
||||
);
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it handles null', function (assert) {
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(displayName(null), '');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Composed helpers provide testable, reusable logic that keeps templates clean and components focused on behavior rather than data transformation.

|
||||
|
||||
## No helper() Wrapper for Plain Functions
|
||||
|
||||
In modern Ember, plain functions can be used directly as helpers without wrapping them with `helper()`. The `helper()` wrapper is legacy and adds unnecessary complexity.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using helper() wrapper):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-date.js
|
||||
import { helper } from '@ember/component/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
function formatDate([date]) {
|
||||
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export default helper(formatDate);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (plain function):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-date.js
|
||||
export function formatDate(date) {
|
||||
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in templates:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/post-card.gjs
|
||||
import { formatDate } from '../utils/format-date';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<article>
|
||||
<h2>{{@post.title}}</h2>
|
||||
<time>{{formatDate @post.publishedAt}}</time>
|
||||
</article>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With Multiple Arguments:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-currency.js
|
||||
export function formatCurrency(amount, currency = 'USD') {
|
||||
return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency,
|
||||
}).format(amount);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/price.gjs
|
||||
import { formatCurrency } from '../utils/format-currency';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<span class="price">
|
||||
{{formatCurrency @amount @currency}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For Helpers that Need Services (use class-based):**
|
||||
|
||||
When you need dependency injection, use a class instead of `helper()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-relative-time.js
|
||||
export class FormatRelativeTime {
|
||||
constructor(owner) {
|
||||
this.intl = owner.lookup('service:intl');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
compute(date) {
|
||||
return this.intl.formatRelative(date);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Avoid helper():**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Simpler**: Plain functions are easier to understand
|
||||
2. **Standard JavaScript**: No Ember-specific wrapper needed
|
||||
3. **Better Testing**: Plain functions are easier to test
|
||||
4. **Performance**: No wrapper overhead
|
||||
5. **Modern Pattern**: Aligns with modern Ember conventions
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration from helper():**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
import { helper } from '@ember/component/helper';
|
||||
|
||||
function capitalize([text]) {
|
||||
return text.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + text.slice(1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export default helper(capitalize);
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
export function capitalize(text) {
|
||||
return text.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + text.slice(1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Helper Patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/string-helpers.js
|
||||
export function capitalize(text) {
|
||||
return text.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + text.slice(1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function truncate(text, length = 50) {
|
||||
if (text.length <= length) return text;
|
||||
return text.slice(0, length) + '...';
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function pluralize(count, singular, plural) {
|
||||
return count === 1 ? singular : plural;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
import { capitalize, truncate, pluralize } from '../utils/string-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<h1>{{capitalize @title}}</h1>
|
||||
<p>{{truncate @description 100}}</p>
|
||||
<span>{{@count}} {{pluralize @count "item" "items"}}</span>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Plain functions are the modern way to create helpers in Ember. Only use classes when you need dependency injection.

title: Use {{on}} Modifier Instead of Event Handler Properties
|
||||
impact: MEDIUM
|
||||
impactDescription: Better performance and clearer event handling
|
||||
tags: performance, events, modifiers, best-practices
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Use {{on}} Modifier Instead of Event Handler Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Always use the `{{on}}` modifier for event handling instead of HTML event handler properties. The `{{on}}` modifier provides better memory management, automatic cleanup, and clearer intent.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why {{on}} is Better:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatic cleanup when element is removed (prevents memory leaks)
|
||||
- Supports event options (`capture`, `passive`, `once`)
|
||||
- More explicit and searchable in templates
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (HTML event properties):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/button.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Button extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleClick() {
|
||||
console.log('clicked');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button onclick={{this.handleClick}}>
|
||||
Click Me
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct ({{on}} modifier):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/button.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Button extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleClick() {
|
||||
console.log('clicked');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.handleClick}}>
|
||||
Click Me
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Event Options
|
||||
|
||||
The `{{on}}` modifier supports standard event listener options:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/scrollable.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Scrollable extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleScroll(event) {
|
||||
console.log('scrolled', event.target.scrollTop);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! passive: true improves scroll performance }}
|
||||
<div {{on "scroll" this.handleScroll passive=true}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Available options:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `capture` - Use capture phase instead of bubble phase
|
||||
- `once` - Remove listener after first invocation
|
||||
- `passive` - Indicates handler won't call `preventDefault()` (better scroll performance)
|
||||
|
||||
### Handling Multiple Events
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/input-field.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class InputField extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleFocus() {
|
||||
console.log('focused');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleBlur() {
|
||||
console.log('blurred');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleInput(event) {
|
||||
this.args.onChange?.(event.target.value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="text"
|
||||
value={{@value}}
|
||||
{{on "focus" this.handleFocus}}
|
||||
{{on "blur" this.handleBlur}}
|
||||
{{on "input" this.handleInput}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Preventing Default and Stopping Propagation
|
||||
|
||||
Handle these in your action, not in the template:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class Form extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleSubmit(event) {
|
||||
event.preventDefault(); // Prevent page reload
|
||||
event.stopPropagation(); // Stop event bubbling if needed
|
||||
|
||||
this.args.onSubmit?.(/* form data */);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form {{on "submit" this.handleSubmit}}>
|
||||
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard Events
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/keyboard-nav.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class KeyboardNav extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleKeyDown(event) {
|
||||
if (event.key === 'Enter' || event.key === ' ') {
|
||||
event.preventDefault();
|
||||
this.args.onActivate?.();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (event.key === 'Escape') {
|
||||
this.args.onCancel?.();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div role="button" tabindex="0" {{on "keydown" this.handleKeyDown}}>
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Tip: Event Delegation
|
||||
|
||||
For lists with many items, use event delegation on the parent:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/todo-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class TodoList extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleClick(event) {
|
||||
// Find which todo was clicked
|
||||
const todoId = event.target.closest('[data-todo-id]')?.dataset.todoId;
|
||||
if (todoId) {
|
||||
this.args.onTodoClick?.(todoId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Single listener for all todos - better than one per item }}
|
||||
<ul {{on "click" this.handleClick}}>
|
||||
{{#each @todos as |todo|}}
|
||||
<li data-todo-id={{todo.id}}>
|
||||
{{todo.title}}
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Don't bind directly without @action:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// This won't work - loses 'this' context
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.myMethod}}>Bad</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Use @action decorator:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
@action
|
||||
myMethod() {
|
||||
// 'this' is correctly bound
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.myMethod}}>Good</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**❌ Don't use string event handlers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
{{! Security risk and doesn't work in strict mode }}
|
||||
<button onclick="handleClick()">Bad</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Always use the `{{on}}` modifier for cleaner, safer, and more performant event handling in Ember applications.

## Use Route-Based Code Splitting

With Embroider's route-based code splitting, routes and their components are automatically split into separate chunks, loaded only when needed.

||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (everything in main bundle):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = function (defaults) {
|
||||
const app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
|
||||
// No optimization
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return app.toTree();
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (Embroider with Vite and route splitting):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ember-cli-build.js
|
||||
const { Vite } = require('@embroider/vite');
|
||||
|
||||
module.exports = require('@embroider/compat').compatBuild(app, Vite, {
|
||||
staticAddonTestSupportTrees: true,
|
||||
staticAddonTrees: true,
|
||||
staticHelpers: true,
|
||||
staticModifiers: true,
|
||||
staticComponents: true,
|
||||
splitAtRoutes: ['admin', 'reports', 'settings'], // Routes to split
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Embroider with `splitAtRoutes` creates separate bundles for specified routes, reducing initial load time by 30-70%.

## Use Loading Substates for Better UX
|
||||
|
||||
Implement loading substates to show immediate feedback while data loads, preventing blank screens and improving perceived performance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no loading state):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.js
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
return this.store.request({ url: '/posts' });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (with loading substate):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/posts-loading.gjs
|
||||
import { LoadingSpinner } from './loading-spinner';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="loading-spinner" role="status" aria-live="polite">
|
||||
<span class="sr-only">Loading posts...</span>
|
||||
<LoadingSpinner />
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.js
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|
||||
model() {
|
||||
// Return promise directly - Ember will show posts-loading template
|
||||
return this.store.request({ url: '/posts' });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ember automatically renders `{route-name}-loading` route templates while the model promise resolves, providing better UX without extra code.

## Implement Smart Route Model Caching
|
||||
|
||||
Implement intelligent model caching strategies to reduce redundant API calls and improve user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (always fetches fresh data):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/post.gjs
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|

}
|

```
|

**Using query params for cache control:**
|
||||
|

```glimmer-js
|

// app/routes/posts.gjs
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
queryParams = {
|
||||
refresh: { refreshModel: true },
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
model(params) {
|
||||
const options = params.refresh ? { reload: true } : { backgroundReload: true };
|
||||
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: '/posts',
|
||||
options,
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="posts">
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.refresh)}}>
|
||||
Refresh
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each @model as |post|}}
|
||||
<li>{{post.title}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Background refresh pattern:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.gjs
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
// Return cached data immediately
|
||||
const cached = this.store.cache.peek({ type: 'dashboard' });
|
||||
|
||||
// Refresh in background
|
||||
this.store.request({
|
||||
url: '/dashboard',
|
||||
options: { backgroundReload: true },
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return cached || this.store.request({ url: '/dashboard' });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="dashboard">
|
||||
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
|

<div>Stats: {{@model.stats}}</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Smart caching reduces server load, improves perceived performance, and provides better offline support while keeping data fresh.

title: Parallel Data Loading in Model Hooks

impactDescription: 2-10× improvement

tags: routes, data-fetching, parallelization, performance
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Parallel Data Loading in Model Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
When fetching multiple independent data sources in a route's model hook, use `Promise.all()` or RSVP.hash() to load them in parallel instead of sequentially.
|
||||
`export default` in these route examples is intentional because route modules are discovered through resolver lookup. In hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` codebases, keep route defaults and add named exports only when you need explicit imports elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (sequential loading, 3 round trips):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
const user = await this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' });
|
||||
const posts = await this.store.request({ url: '/posts?recent=true' });
|
||||
const notifications = await this.store.request({ url: '/notifications?unread=true' });
|
||||
|
||||
return { user, posts, notifications };
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (parallel loading, 1 round trip):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { hash } from 'rsvp';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
model() {
|
||||
return hash({
|
||||
user: this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' }),
|
||||
posts: this.store.request({ url: '/posts?recent=true' }),
|
||||
notifications: this.store.request({ url: '/notifications?unread=true' }),
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using `hash()` from RSVP allows Ember to resolve all promises concurrently, significantly reducing load time.

|

**Incorrect (separate template file - old pattern):**
|
||||
|

```glimmer-js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|

<li>{{post.title}}</li>
|

{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (co-located route template):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.gjs
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {

|
||||
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**With loading and error states:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.gjs
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|

export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|

{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{outlet}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Template-only routes:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/about.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="about-page">

<h1>About Us</h1>

<p>Welcome to our application!</p>
|
||||
</div>
|

</template>
|

```
|
||||
|

Co-located route templates keep route logic and presentation together, making the codebase easier to navigate and maintain.

## Cache API Responses in Services
|
||||
|
||||
Cache API responses in services to avoid duplicate network requests. Use tracked properties to make the cache reactive.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no caching):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|

import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class UserService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
async getCurrentUser() {
|
||||
// Fetches from API every time
|
||||
return this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (with caching):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/user.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { TrackedMap } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class UserService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
@tracked currentUser = null;
|
||||
cache = new TrackedMap();
|
||||
|
||||
async getCurrentUser() {
|
||||
if (!this.currentUser) {
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' });
|
||||
this.currentUser = response.content.data;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return this.currentUser;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async getUser(id) {
|
||||
if (!this.cache.has(id)) {
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({ url: `/users/${id}` });
|
||||
this.cache.set(id, response.content.data);
|
||||
}
|
||||
return this.cache.get(id);
|

this.currentUser = null;
|
||||
this.cache.clear();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For time-based cache invalidation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|

|
||||
|

@tracked _cache = null;
|

_cacheTimestamp = null;
|
||||
_cacheDuration = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
async getData() {
|
||||
const now = Date.now();
|
||||
const isCacheValid =
|
||||
this._cache && this._cacheTimestamp && now - this._cacheTimestamp < this._cacheDuration;
|
||||
|

if (!isCacheValid) {
|

|
||||
## Implement Robust Data Requesting Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Use proper patterns for data fetching including parallel requests, error handling, request cancellation, and retry logic.
|
||||
`export default` in route/service snippets below is intentional because these modules are commonly resolved by convention and referenced from templates. In hybrid `.gjs`/`.hbs` codebases, you can pair named exports with a default alias where needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Naive data fetching creates waterfall requests, doesn't handle errors properly, and can cause race conditions or memory leaks from uncanceled requests.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
// Sequential waterfall - slow!
|
||||
const user = await this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' });
|
||||
const posts = await this.store.request({ url: '/posts' });
|
||||
const notifications = await this.store.request({ url: '/notifications' });
|
||||
|
||||
// No error handling
|
||||
// No cancellation
|
||||
return { user, posts, notifications };
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution: Parallel Requests
|
||||
|
||||
Use `RSVP.hash` or `Promise.all` for parallel loading:
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (parallelized model loading):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { hash } from 'rsvp';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
return hash({
|
||||
user: this.store.request({ url: '/users/me' }),
|
||||
posts: this.store.request({ url: '/posts?recent=true' }),
|
||||
notifications: this.store.request({ url: '/notifications?unread=true' }),
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Handle errors gracefully with fallbacks:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/api.js
|
||||
import Service, { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class ApiService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@tracked lastError = null;
|
||||
|
||||
async fetchWithFallback(url, fallback = null) {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({ url });
|
||||
this.lastError = null;
|
||||
return response.content;
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
this.lastError = error.message;
|
||||
console.error(`API Error fetching ${url}:`, error);
|
||||
return fallback;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async fetchWithRetry(url, { maxRetries = 3, delay = 1000 } = {}) {
|
||||
for (let attempt = 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++) {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
return await this.store.request({ url });
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (attempt === maxRetries - 1) throw error;
|
||||
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, delay * (attempt + 1)));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Request Cancellation with AbortController
|
||||
|
||||
Prevent race conditions by canceling stale requests:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search-results.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { restartableTask, timeout } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
class SearchResults extends Component {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@tracked results = [];
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically cancels previous searches
|
||||
@restartableTask
|
||||
*searchTask(query) {
|
||||
yield timeout(300); // Debounce
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = yield this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.results = response.content;
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.name !== 'TaskCancelation') {
|
||||
console.error('Search failed:', error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
type="search"
|
||||
{{on "input" (fn this.searchTask.perform @value)}}
|
||||
placeholder="Search..."
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.searchTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
<div class="loading">Searching...</div>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.results as |result|}}
|
||||
<li>{{result.title}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual AbortController Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
For non-ember-concurrency scenarios:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/data-fetcher.js
|
||||
import Service, { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class DataFetcherService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
@tracked isLoading = false;
|
||||
|
||||
abortController = null;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
this.abortController?.abort();
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async fetch(url) {
|
||||
// Cancel previous request
|
||||
this.abortController?.abort();
|
||||
this.abortController = new AbortController();
|
||||
|
||||
this.isLoading = true;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Note: WarpDrive handles AbortSignal internally
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({
|
||||
url,
|
||||
signal: this.abortController.signal,
|
||||
});
|
||||
this.data = response.content;
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.name !== 'AbortError') {
|
||||
throw error;
|
||||
}
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependent Requests Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
When requests depend on previous results:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/post.js
|
||||
import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
|
||||
import { hash } from 'rsvp';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class PostRoute extends Route {
|
||||
async model({ post_id }) {
|
||||
// First fetch the post
|
||||
const post = await this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/posts/${post_id}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Then fetch related data in parallel
|
||||
return hash({
|
||||
post,
|
||||
author: this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/users/${post.content.authorId}`,
|
||||
}),
|
||||
comments: this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/posts/${post_id}/comments`,
|
||||
}),
|
||||
relatedPosts: this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/posts/${post_id}/related`,
|
||||
}),
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Polling Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
For real-time data updates:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/live-data.js
|
||||
import Service, { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class LiveDataService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
|
||||
intervalId = null;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor() {
|
||||
super(...arguments);
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
this.stopPolling();
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
startPolling(url, interval = 5000) {
|
||||
this.stopPolling();
|
||||
|
||||
this.poll(url); // Initial fetch
|
||||
this.intervalId = setInterval(() => this.poll(url), interval);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async poll(url) {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({ url });
|
||||
this.data = response.content;
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error('Polling error:', error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
stopPolling() {
|
||||
if (this.intervalId) {
|
||||
clearInterval(this.intervalId);
|
||||
this.intervalId = null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Batch Requests
|
||||
|
||||
Optimize multiple similar requests:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/batch-loader.js
|
||||
import Service, { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class BatchLoaderService extends Service {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
pendingIds = new Set();
|
||||
batchTimeout = null;
|
||||
|
||||
async loadUser(id) {
|
||||
this.pendingIds.add(id);
|
||||
|
||||
if (!this.batchTimeout) {
|
||||
this.batchTimeout = setTimeout(() => this.executeBatch(), 50);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Return a promise that resolves when batch completes
|
||||
return new Promise((resolve) => {
|
||||
this.registerCallback(id, resolve);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async executeBatch() {
|
||||
const ids = Array.from(this.pendingIds);
|
||||
this.pendingIds.clear();
|
||||
this.batchTimeout = null;
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/users?ids=${ids.join(',')}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Resolve all pending promises
|
||||
response.content.forEach((user) => {
|
||||
this.resolveCallback(user.id, user);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- **Parallel requests (RSVP.hash)**: 60-80% faster than sequential
|
||||
- **Request cancellation**: Prevents memory leaks and race conditions
|
||||
- **Retry logic**: Improves reliability with < 5% overhead
|
||||
- **Batch loading**: 40-70% reduction in requests
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- **RSVP.hash**: Independent data that can load in parallel
|
||||
- **ember-concurrency**: Search, autocomplete, or user-driven requests
|
||||
- **AbortController**: Long-running requests that may become stale
|
||||
- **Retry logic**: Critical data with transient network issues
|
||||
- **Batch loading**: Loading many similar items (N+1 scenarios)

|
||||
## Optimize WarpDrive Queries
|
||||
|
||||
Use WarpDrive's request features effectively to reduce API calls and load only the data you need.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (multiple queries, overfetching):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.js
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
async model() {
|
||||
// Loads all posts (could be thousands)
|
||||
const response = await this.store.request({ url: '/posts' });
|
||||
const posts = response.content.data;
|
||||
|
||||
// Then filters in memory
|
||||
return posts.filter((post) => post.attributes.status === 'published');
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (filtered query with pagination):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/posts.js
|
||||
export default class PostsRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
queryParams = {
|
||||
page: { refreshModel: true },
|
||||
filter: { refreshModel: true },
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
model(params) {
|
||||
// Server-side filtering and pagination
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: '/posts',
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
filter: {
|
||||
status: 'published',
|
||||
},
|
||||
page: {
|
||||
number: params.page || 1,
|
||||
size: 20,
|
||||
},
|
||||
include: 'author', // Sideload related data
|
||||
fields: {
|
||||
// Sparse fieldsets
|
||||
posts: 'title,excerpt,publishedAt,author',
|
||||
users: 'name,avatar',
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use request with includes for single records:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/routes/post.js
|
||||
export default class PostRoute extends Route {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
model(params) {
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/posts/${params.post_id}`,
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
include: 'author,comments.user', // Nested relationships
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For frequently accessed data, use cache lookups:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/user-badge.js
|
||||
class UserBadge extends Component {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
get user() {
|
||||
// Check cache first, avoiding API call if already loaded
|
||||
const cached = this.store.cache.peek({
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
id: this.args.userId,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
if (cached) {
|
||||
return cached;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Only fetch if not in cache
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: `/users/${this.args.userId}`,
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use request options for custom queries:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
model() {
|
||||
return this.store.request({
|
||||
url: '/posts',
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
include: 'author,tags',
|
||||
customParam: 'value'
|
||||
},
|
||||
options: {
|
||||
reload: true // Bypass cache
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Efficient WarpDrive usage reduces network overhead and improves application performance significantly.

## Manage Service Owner and Linkage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Understand how to manage service linkage, owner passing, and alternative service organization patterns beyond the traditional app/services directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Owner and Linkage Fundamentals
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (manual service instantiation):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import ApiService from '../services/api';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
// ❌ Creates orphaned instance without owner
|
||||
api = new ApiService();
|
||||
|
||||
async loadUser() {
|
||||
// Won't have access to other services or owner features
|
||||
return this.api.fetch('/user/me');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>{{@user.name}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (proper service injection with owner):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
// ✅ Proper injection with owner linkage
|
||||
@service api;
|
||||
|
||||
async loadUser() {
|
||||
// Has full owner context and can inject other services
|
||||
return this.api.fetch('/user/me');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>{{@user.name}}</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Owner Passing (Without Libraries)
|
||||
|
||||
**Creating instances with owner:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-processor.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { getOwner, setOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataTransformer {
|
||||
@service store;
|
||||
|
||||
transform(data) {
|
||||
// Can use injected services because it has an owner
|
||||
return this.store.request({ url: '/transform', data });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class DataProcessor extends Component {
|
||||
@service('store') storeService;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(owner, args) {
|
||||
super(owner, args);
|
||||
|
||||
// Manual instantiation with owner linkage
|
||||
this.transformer = new DataTransformer();
|
||||
setOwner(this.transformer, getOwner(this));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
processData(data) {
|
||||
// transformer can now access services
|
||||
return this.transformer.transform(data);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>Processing...</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Factory pattern with owner:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/logger-factory.js
|
||||
import { getOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
|
||||
class Logger {
|
||||
constructor(owner, context) {
|
||||
this.owner = owner;
|
||||
this.context = context;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get config() {
|
||||
// Access configuration service via owner
|
||||
return getOwner(this).lookup('service:config');
|

log(message) {

if (this.config.enableLogging) {
|
||||
console.log(`[${this.context}]`, message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function createLogger(owner, context) {
|
||||
return new Logger(owner, context);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Usage in component
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { getOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
import { createLogger } from '../utils/logger-factory';
|
||||
|
||||
class My extends Component {
|
||||
logger = createLogger(getOwner(this), 'MyComponent');
|
||||
|
||||
performAction() {
|
||||
this.logger.log('Action performed');
|
||||
}
|

|

<template>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.performAction}}>Do Something</button>
|

</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Owner Passing with Modern Libraries
|
||||
|
||||
**Using reactiveweb's link() for ownership and destruction:**
|
||||
|
||||
The `link()` function from `reactiveweb` provides both ownership transfer and automatic destruction linkage.
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/advanced-form.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { link } from 'reactiveweb/link';
|
||||
|
||||
class ValidationService {
|
||||
validate(data) {
|
||||
// Validation logic
|
||||
return data.email && data.email.includes('@');
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class FormStateManager {
|
||||
data = { email: '' };
|
||||
|
||||
updateEmail(value) {
|
||||
this.data.email = value;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export class AdvancedForm extends Component {
|
||||
// link() handles both owner and destruction automatically
|
||||
validation = link(this, () => new ValidationService());
|
||||
formState = link(this, () => new FormStateManager());
|
||||
|
||||
get isValid() {
|
||||
return this.validation.validate(this.formState.data);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form>
|
||||
<input value={{this.formState.data.email}} />
|
||||
{{#if (not this.isValid)}}
|
||||
<span>Invalid form</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why use link():**
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatically transfers owner from parent to child instance
|
||||
- Registers destructor so child is cleaned up when parent is destroyed
|
||||
- No manual `setOwner` or `registerDestructor` calls needed
|
||||
- See [RFC #1067](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/1067) for the proposal and reasoning
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Services Outside app/services Directory
|
||||
|
||||
**Using createService from ember-primitives:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/analytics-tracker.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { createService } from 'ember-primitives/utils';
|
||||
|
||||
// Define service logic as a plain function
|
||||
function AnalyticsService() {
|
||||
let events = [];
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
get events() {
|
||||
return events;
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
track(event) {
|
||||
events.push({ ...event, timestamp: Date.now() });
|
||||
|
||||
// Send to analytics endpoint
|
||||
fetch('/analytics', {
|
||||
method: 'POST',
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify(event),
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export class AnalyticsTracker extends Component {
|
||||
// createService handles owner linkage and cleanup automatically
|
||||
analytics = createService(this, AnalyticsService);
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>Tracking {{this.analytics.events.length}} events</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why createService:**
|
||||
|
||||
- No need to extend Service class
|
||||
- Automatic owner linkage and cleanup
|
||||
- Simpler than manual setOwner/registerDestructor
|
||||
- Documentation: https://ce1d7e18.ember-primitives.pages.dev/6-utils/createService.md
|
||||
|
||||
**Co-located services with components:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/shopping-cart/service.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { TrackedArray } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
export class CartService extends Service {
|
||||
@tracked items = new TrackedArray([]);
|
||||
|
||||
get total() {
|
||||
return this.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
addItem(item) {
|
||||
this.items.push(item);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
removeItem(id) {
|
||||
const index = this.items.findIndex((item) => item.id === id);
|
||||
if (index > -1) this.items.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
clear() {
|
||||
this.items.clear();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/shopping-cart/index.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { getOwner, setOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
import { CartService } from './service';
|
||||
|
||||
class ShoppingCart extends Component {
|
||||
cart = (() => {
|
||||
const instance = new CartService();
|
||||
setOwner(instance, getOwner(this));
|
||||
return instance;
|
||||
})();
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="cart">
|
||||
<h3>Cart ({{this.cart.items.length}} items)</h3>
|
||||
<div>Total: ${{this.cart.total}}</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#each this.cart.items as |item|}}
|
||||
<div class="cart-item">
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
- ${{item.price}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.cart.removeItem item.id)}}>
|
||||
Remove
|

<button {{on "click" this.cart.clear}}>Clear Cart</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Service-like utilities in utils/ directory:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/notification-manager.js
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
import { TrackedArray } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
import { setOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
|
||||
export class NotificationManager {
|
||||
@tracked notifications = new TrackedArray([]);
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(owner) {
|
||||
setOwner(this, owner);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
add(message, type = 'info') {
|
||||
const notification = {
|
||||
id: Math.random().toString(36),
|
||||
message,
|
||||
type,
|
||||
timestamp: Date.now(),
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
this.notifications.push(notification);
|
||||
|
||||
// Auto-dismiss after 5 seconds
|
||||
setTimeout(() => this.dismiss(notification.id), 5000);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
dismiss(id) {
|
||||
const index = this.notifications.findIndex((n) => n.id === id);
|
||||
if (index > -1) this.notifications.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/notification-container.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { getOwner } from '@ember/application';
|
||||
import { NotificationManager } from '../utils/notification-manager';
|
||||
|
||||
class NotificationContainer extends Component {
|
||||
notifications = new NotificationManager(getOwner(this));
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="notifications">
|
||||
{{#each this.notifications.notifications as |notif|}}
|
||||
<div class="notification notification-{{notif.type}}">
|
||||
{{notif.message}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.notifications.dismiss notif.id)}}>
|
||||
×
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{{! Example usage }}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.notifications.add "Success!" "success")}}>
|
||||
Show Notification
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Registering Custom Services Dynamically
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime service registration:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/instance-initializers/dynamic-services.js
|
||||
export function initialize(appInstance) {
|
||||
// Register service dynamically without app/services file
|
||||
appInstance.register(
|
||||
'service:feature-flags',
|
||||
class FeatureFlagsService {
|
||||
flags = {
|
||||
newDashboard: true,
|
||||
betaFeatures: false,
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
isEnabled(flag) {
|
||||
return this.flags[flag] || false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Make it a singleton
|
||||
appInstance.inject('route', 'featureFlags', 'service:feature-flags');
|
||||
appInstance.inject('component', 'featureFlags', 'service:feature-flags');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export default {
|
||||
initialize,
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Using registered services:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/feature-gated.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class FeatureGated extends Component {
|
||||
@service featureFlags;
|
||||
|
||||
get shouldShow() {
|
||||
return this.featureFlags.isEnabled(this.args.feature);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.shouldShow}}
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<div class="feature-disabled">This feature is not available</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use @service decorator** for app/services - cleanest and most maintainable
|
||||
2. **Use link() from reactiveweb** for ownership and destruction linkage
|
||||
3. **Use createService from ember-primitives** for component-scoped services without extending Service class
|
||||
4. **Manual owner passing** for utilities that need occasional service access
|
||||
5. **Co-located services** for component-specific state that doesn't need global access
|
||||
6. **Runtime registration** for dynamic services or testing scenarios
|
||||
7. **Always use setOwner** when manually instantiating classes that need services
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
- **app/services**: Global singletons needed across the app
|
||||
- **link() from reactiveweb**: When you need both owner and destruction linkage
|
||||
- **createService from ember-primitives**: Component-scoped services without Service class
|
||||
- **Co-located services**: Component-specific state, not needed elsewhere
|
||||
- **Utils with owner**: Stateless utilities that occasionally need config/services
|
||||
- **Runtime registration**: Dynamic configuration, feature flags, testing

## Use Services for Shared State
|
||||
|
||||
Use services to manage shared state across components and routes instead of passing data through multiple layers or duplicating state.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (prop drilling):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/routes/dashboard.gjs
|
||||
export default class DashboardRoute extends Route {
|
||||
model() {
|
||||
return { currentTheme: 'dark' };
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Header @theme={{@model.currentTheme}} />
|
||||
<Sidebar @theme={{@model.currentTheme}} />
|
||||
<MainContent @theme={{@model.currentTheme}} />
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using service):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/theme.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class ThemeService extends Service {
|
||||
@tracked currentTheme = 'dark';
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
setTheme(theme) {
|
||||
this.currentTheme = theme;
|
||||
localStorage.setItem('theme', theme);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
loadTheme() {
|
||||
this.currentTheme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'dark';
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/header.js
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class Header extends Component {
|
||||
@service theme;
|
||||
|
||||
// Access theme.currentTheme directly
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/components/sidebar.js
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
|
||||
class Sidebar extends Component {
|
||||
@service theme;
|
||||
|
||||
// Access theme.currentTheme directly
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Services provide centralized state management with automatic reactivity through tracked properties.
|
||||
|
||||
**For complex state, consider using Ember Data or ember-orbit:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/services/cart.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { service } from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { TrackedArray } from 'tracked-built-ins';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|

import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|

export default class CartService extends Service {

@service store;

items = new TrackedArray([]);
|

return this.items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get itemCount() {
|
||||
return this.items.length;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
addItem(item) {
|
||||
this.items.push(item);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@action
|
||||
removeItem(item) {
|
||||
const index = this.items.indexOf(item);
|
||||
if (index > -1) {
|
||||
this.items.splice(index, 1);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}

title: Avoid Heavy Computation in Templates
|

impact: MEDIUM

impactDescription: 40-60% reduction in render time

|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Heavy Computation in Templates
|
||||
|
||||
Move expensive computations from templates to cached getters in the component class or in-scope functions for template-only components. Templates should only display data, not compute it. Keep templates easy for humans to read by minimizing nested function invocations.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this matters:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Templates should be easy to read and understand
|
||||
- Nested function calls create cognitive overhead
|
||||
- Computations should be cached and reused, not recalculated on every render
|
||||
- Template-only components (without `this`) need alternative patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (heavy computation in template):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/stats.gjs
|
||||
import { sum, map, div, max, multiply, sortBy } from '../helpers/math';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<p>Total: {{sum (map @items "price")}}</p>
|
||||
<p>Average: {{div (sum (map @items "price")) @items.length}}</p>
|
||||
<p>Max: {{max (map @items "price")}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#each (sortBy "name" @items) as |item|}}
|
||||
<div>{{item.name}}: {{multiply item.price item.quantity}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (computation in component with cached getters):**

||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/stats.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';

export class Stats extends Component {

@cached

**Note on @cached**: Use `@cached` when a getter is accessed multiple times (like in `{{#each}}` loops or by other getters). For getters accessed only once, regular getters are sufficient and avoid unnecessary memoization overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving computations to getters ensures they run only when dependencies change, not on every render. Templates remain clean and readable.

|

|
||||
## Optimize Conditional Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
Use efficient conditional rendering patterns to minimize unnecessary DOM updates and improve rendering performance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Inefficient conditional logic causes excessive re-renders, creates complex template code, and can lead to poor performance in lists and dynamic UIs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserList extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each @users as |user|}}
|
||||
<div class="user">
|
||||
{{! Recomputes every time}}
|
||||
{{#if (eq user.role "admin")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge admin">{{user.name}} (Admin)</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#if (eq user.role "moderator")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge mod">{{user.name}} (Mod)</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{#if (eq user.role "user")}}
|
||||
<span>{{user.name}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Use `{{#if}}` / `{{#else if}}` / `{{#else}}` chains and extract computed logic to getters for better performance and readability.
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserList extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each @users as |user|}}
|
||||
<div class="user">
|
||||
{{#if (eq user.role "admin")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge admin">{{user.name}} (Admin)</span>
|
||||
{{else if (eq user.role "moderator")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge mod">{{user.name}} (Mod)</span>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<span>{{user.name}}</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extracted Logic Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
For complex conditions, use getters:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserCard extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get isActive() {
|
||||
return this.args.user.status === 'active' && this.args.user.lastLoginDays < 30;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get showActions() {
|
||||
return this.args.canEdit && !this.args.user.locked && this.isActive;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@user.name}}</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.isActive}}
|
||||
<span class="status active">Active</span>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<span class="status inactive">Inactive</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.showActions}}
|
||||
<div class="actions">
|
||||
<button>Edit</button>
|
||||
<button>Delete</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conditional Lists
|
||||
|
||||
Use `{{#if}}` to guard `{{#each}}` and avoid rendering empty states:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/task-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class TaskList extends Component {
|
||||
get hasTasks() {
|
||||
return this.args.tasks?.length > 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.hasTasks}}
|
||||
<ul class="task-list">
|
||||
{{#each @tasks as |task|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{task.title}}
|
||||
{{#if task.completed}}
|
||||
<span class="done">✓</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<p class="empty-state">No tasks yet</p>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid Nested Conditionals
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
{{#if @user}}
|
||||
{{#if @user.isPremium}}
|
||||
{{#if @user.hasAccess}}
|
||||
<PremiumContent />
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Good:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/content-gate.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class ContentGate extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get canViewPremium() {
|
||||
return this.args.user?.isPremium && this.args.user?.hasAccess;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.canViewPremium}}
|
||||
<PremiumContent />
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<UpgradeCTA />
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Switching Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Use conditional rendering for component selection:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/media-viewer.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import ImageViewer from './image-viewer';
|
||||
import VideoPlayer from './video-player';
|
||||
import AudioPlayer from './audio-player';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
class MediaViewer extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get mediaType() {
|
||||
return this.args.media?.type;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if (eq this.mediaType "image")}}
|
||||
<ImageViewer @src={{@media.url}} />
|
||||
{{else if (eq this.mediaType "video")}}
|
||||
<VideoPlayer @src={{@media.url}} />
|
||||
{{else if (eq this.mediaType "audio")}}
|
||||
<AudioPlayer @src={{@media.url}} />
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<p>Unsupported media type</p>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Loading States
|
||||
|
||||
Pattern for async data with loading/error states:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-display.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { Resource } from 'ember-resources';
|
||||
import { resource } from 'ember-resources';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataResource extends Resource {
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
@tracked isLoading = true;
|
||||
@tracked error = null;
|
||||
|
||||
modify(positional, named) {
|
||||
this.fetchData(named.url);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async fetchData(url) {
|
||||
this.isLoading = true;
|
||||
this.error = null;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(url);
|
||||
this.data = await response.json();
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
this.error = e.message;
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class DataDisplay extends Component {
|
||||
@resource data = DataResource.from(() => ({
|
||||
url: this.args.url,
|
||||
}));
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#if this.data.isLoading}}
|
||||
<div class="loading">Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{else if this.data.error}}
|
||||
<div class="error">Error: {{this.data.error}}</div>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<div class="content">
|
||||
{{this.data.data}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chained if/else**: 40-60% faster than multiple independent {{#if}} blocks
|
||||
- **Extracted getters**: ~20% faster for complex conditions (cached)
|
||||
- **Component switching**: Same performance as {{#if}} but better code organization
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- **{{#if}}/{{#else}}**: For simple true/false conditions
|
||||
- **Extracted getters**: For complex or reused conditions
|
||||
- **Component switching**: For different component types based on state
|
||||
- **Guard clauses**: To avoid rendering large subtrees when not needed

|

|
||||
## Use {{#each}} with @key for Lists
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `key=` parameter with `{{#each}}` when objects are recreated between renders (e.g., via `.map()` or fresh API data). The default behavior uses object identity (`@identity`), which works when object references are stable.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no key):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||
import UserCard from './user-card';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.users as |user|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<UserCard @user={{user}} />
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (with key):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||
import UserCard from './user-card';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each this.users key="id" as |user|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<UserCard @user={{user}} />
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For arrays of primitives (strings, numbers):**
|
||||
|
||||
`@identity` is the default, so you rarely need to specify it explicitly. It compares items by value for primitives.
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/tag-list.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! @identity is implicit, no need to write it }}
|
||||
{{#each this.tags as |tag|}}
|
||||
<span class="tag">{{tag}}</span>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For complex scenarios with @index:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/item-list.gjs
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each this.items key="@index" as |item index|}}
|
||||
<div data-index={{index}}>
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using proper keys allows Ember's rendering engine to efficiently update, reorder, and remove items without re-rendering the entire list.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use `key=`:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Objects recreated between renders (`.map()`, generators, fresh API responses) → use `key="id"` or similar
|
||||
- High-frequency updates (animations, real-time data) → always specify a key
|
||||
- Stable object references (Apollo cache, Ember Data) → default `@identity` is fine
|
||||
- Items never reorder → `key="@index"` is acceptable
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance comparison (dbmon benchmark, 40 rows at 60fps):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Without key (objects recreated): Destroys/recreates DOM every frame
|
||||
- With `key="data.db.id"`: DOM reuse, **2x FPS improvement**

title: Use {{fn}} for Partial Application Only
|

impact: LOW-MEDIUM

impactDescription: Clearer code, avoid unnecessary wrapping
|

tags: helpers, templates, fn, partial-application

|
||||
|
||||
## Use {{fn}} for Partial Application Only
|
||||
|
||||
The `{{fn}}` helper is used for partial application (binding arguments), similar to JavaScript's `.bind()`. Only use it when you need to pre-bind arguments to a function. Don't use it to simply pass a function reference.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (unnecessary use of {{fn}}):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Search extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleSearch(event) {
|
||||
console.log('Searching:', event.target.value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Wrong - no arguments being bound}}
|
||||
<input {{on "input" (fn this.handleSearch)}} />
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (direct function reference):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/search.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class Search extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
handleSearch(event) {
|
||||
console.log('Searching:', event.target.value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{! Correct - pass function directly}}
|
||||
<input {{on "input" this.handleSearch}} />
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use {{fn}} - Partial Application:**
|
||||
|
||||
Use `{{fn}}` when you need to pre-bind arguments to a function, similar to JavaScript's `.bind()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-list.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserList extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
deleteUser(userId, event) {
|
||||
console.log('Deleting user:', userId);
|
||||
this.args.onDelete(userId);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each @users as |user|}}
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
{{user.name}}
|
||||
{{! Correct - binding user.id as first argument}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.deleteUser user.id)}}>
|
||||
Delete
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Multiple Arguments:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-grid.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { action } from '@ember/object';
|
||||
|
||||
class DataGrid extends Component {
|
||||
@action
|
||||
updateCell(rowId, columnKey, event) {
|
||||
const newValue = event.target.value;
|
||||
this.args.onUpdate(rowId, columnKey, newValue);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each @rows as |row|}}
|
||||
{{#each @columns as |column|}}
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={{get row column.key}}
|
||||
{{! Pre-binding rowId and columnKey}}
|
||||
{{on "input" (fn this.updateCell row.id column.key)}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Think of {{fn}} like .bind():**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// JavaScript comparison
|
||||
const boundFn = this.deleteUser.bind(this, userId); // .bind() pre-binds args
|
||||
// Template equivalent: {{fn this.deleteUser userId}}
|
||||
|
||||
// Direct reference
|
||||
const directFn = this.handleSearch; // No pre-binding
|
||||
// Template equivalent: {{this.handleSearch}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ❌ Wrong - no partial application
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.save)}}>Save</button>
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Correct - direct reference
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.save}}>Save</button>
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Correct - partial application with argument
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn this.save "draft")}}>Save Draft</button>
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Wrong - no partial application
|
||||
<input {{on "input" (fn this.handleInput)}} />
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Correct - direct reference
|
||||
<input {{on "input" this.handleInput}} />
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Correct - partial application with field name
|
||||
<input {{on "input" (fn this.updateField "email")}} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Only use `{{fn}}` when you're binding arguments. For simple function references, pass them directly.

// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|

import { capitalize } from 'ember-string-helpers';
|

<p>Joined: {{formatDate @user.createdAt}}</p>
|

<p>Posts: {{pluralize @user.postCount "post"}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Built-in and library helpers:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/conditional-content.gjs
|
||||
import { fn, hash } from '@ember/helper'; // Actually built-in to Ember
|
||||
import { eq, not } from 'ember-truth-helpers'; // From ember-truth-helpers addon
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="content">
|
||||
{{#if (eq @status "active")}}
|
||||
<span class="badge">Active</span>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (not @isLoading)}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn @onSave (hash id=@id data=@data))}}>
|
||||
Save
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Custom helper with imports:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// app/utils/format-currency.js
|
||||
export function formatCurrency(amount, { currency = 'USD' } = {}) {
|
||||
return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency,
|
||||
}).format(amount);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/price-display.gjs
|
||||
import { formatCurrency } from '../utils/format-currency';
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="price">
|
||||
{{formatCurrency @amount currency="EUR"}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Type-safe helpers with TypeScript:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-ts
|
||||
// app/components/typed-component.gts
|
||||
import { fn } from '@ember/helper';
|
||||
import type { TOC } from '@ember/component/template-only';
|
||||
|
||||
interface Signature {
|
||||
Args: {
|
||||
items: Array<{ id: string; name: string }>;
|
||||
onSelect: (id: string) => void;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const TypedComponent: TOC<Signature> = <template>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{{#each @items as |item|}}
|
||||
<li {{on "click" (fn @onSelect item.id)}}>
|
||||
{{item.name}}
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>;
|
||||
|
||||
export default TypedComponent;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Explicit helper imports enable better tree-shaking, make dependencies clear, and improve IDE support with proper type checking.

Use `{{#let}}` to compute expensive values once and reuse them in the template instead of calling getters or helpers multiple times.

## Template-Only Components with In-Scope Functions
|
||||
|
||||
For template-only components (components without a class and `this`), use in-scope functions to keep logic close to the template while avoiding unnecessary caching overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using class-based component for simple logic):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/product-card.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
export class ProductCard extends Component {
|
||||
// Unnecessary class and overhead for simple formatting
|
||||
formatPrice(price) {
|
||||
return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency: 'USD',
|
||||
}).format(price);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="product-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@product.name}}</h3>
|
||||
<div class="price">{{this.formatPrice @product.price}}</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (template-only component with in-scope functions):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/product-card.gjs
|
||||
function formatPrice(price) {
|
||||
return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency: 'USD',
|
||||
}).format(price);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function calculateDiscount(price, discountPercent) {
|
||||
return price * (1 - discountPercent / 100);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function isOnSale(product) {
|
||||
return product.discountPercent > 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="product-card">
|
||||
<h3>{{@product.name}}</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if (isOnSale @product)}}
|
||||
<div class="price">
|
||||
<span class="original">{{formatPrice @product.price}}</span>
|
||||
<span class="sale">
|
||||
{{formatPrice (calculateDiscount @product.price @product.discountPercent)}}
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
<div class="price">{{formatPrice @product.price}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>{{@product.description}}</p>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use class-based vs template-only:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Use class-based when:
|
||||
// - You need @cached for expensive computations accessed multiple times
|
||||
// - You have tracked state
|
||||
// - You need lifecycle hooks or services
|
||||
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { cached } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
|
||||
export class ProductList extends Component {
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get sortedProducts() {
|
||||
// Expensive sort, accessed in template multiple times
|
||||
return [...this.args.products].sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name));
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@cached
|
||||
get filteredProducts() {
|
||||
// Depends on sortedProducts - benefits from caching
|
||||
return this.sortedProducts.filter((p) => p.category === this.args.selectedCategory);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
{{#each this.filteredProducts as |product|}}
|
||||
<div>{{product.name}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Use template-only when:
|
||||
// - Simple transformations
|
||||
// - Functions accessed once
|
||||
// - No state or services needed
|
||||
|
||||
function formatDate(date) {
|
||||
return new Date(date).toLocaleDateString();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="timestamp">
|
||||
Last updated:
|
||||
{{formatDate @lastUpdate}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Combining in-scope functions for readability:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-badge.gjs
|
||||
function getInitials(name) {
|
||||
return name
|
||||
.split(' ')
|
||||
.map((part) => part[0])
|
||||
.join('')
|
||||
.toUpperCase();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function getBadgeColor(status) {
|
||||
const colors = {
|
||||
active: 'green',
|
||||
pending: 'yellow',
|
||||
inactive: 'gray',
|
||||
};
|
||||
return colors[status] || 'gray';
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-badge" style="background-color: {{getBadgeColor @user.status}}">
|
||||
<span class="initials">{{getInitials @user.name}}</span>
|
||||
<span class="name">{{@user.name}}</span>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Anti-pattern - Complex nested calls:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// ❌ Hard to read, lots of nesting
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
{{formatCurrency (multiply (add @basePrice @taxAmount) @quantity)}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Better - use intermediate function
|
||||
function calculateTotal(basePrice, taxAmount, quantity) {
|
||||
return (basePrice + taxAmount) * quantity;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function formatCurrency(amount) {
|
||||
return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
|
||||
style: 'currency',
|
||||
currency: 'USD',
|
||||
}).format(amount);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
{{formatCurrency (calculateTotal @basePrice @taxAmount @quantity)}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key differences from class-based components:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Template-Only | Class-Based |
|
||||
| ---------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------ |
|
||||
| `this` context | ❌ No `this` | ✅ Has `this` |
|
||||
| Function caching | ❌ Recreated each render | ✅ `@cached` available |
|
||||
| Services | ❌ Cannot inject | ✅ `@service` decorator |
|
||||
| Tracked state | ❌ No instance state | ✅ `@tracked` properties |
|
||||
| Best for | Simple, stateless | Complex, stateful |
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Keep functions simple** - If computation is complex, consider a class with `@cached`
|
||||
2. **One responsibility per function** - Makes them reusable and testable
|
||||
3. **Minimize nesting** - Use intermediate functions for readability
|
||||
4. **No side effects** - Functions should be pure transformations
|
||||
5. **Export for testing** - Export functions so they can be tested independently
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/stats-display.gjs
|
||||
export function average(numbers) {
|
||||
if (numbers.length === 0) return 0;
|
||||
return numbers.reduce((sum, n) => sum + n, 0) / numbers.length;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function round(number, decimals = 2) {
|
||||
return Math.round(number * Math.pow(10, decimals)) / Math.pow(10, decimals);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="stats">
|
||||
Average:
|
||||
{{round (average @scores)}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
```

title: Provide DOM-Abstracted Test Utilities for Library Components

## Provide DOM-Abstracted Test Utilities for Library Components
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact: Medium** - Critical for library maintainability and consumer testing experience, especially important for team-based projects
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
When building reusable components or libraries, consumers should not need to know implementation details or interact directly with the component's DOM. DOM structure should be considered **private** unless the author of the tests is the **owner** of the code being tested.
|
||||
|
||||
Without abstracted test utilities:
|
||||
|
||||
- Component refactoring breaks consumer tests
|
||||
- Tests are tightly coupled to implementation details
|
||||
- Teams waste time updating tests when internals change
|
||||
- Testing becomes fragile and maintenance-heavy
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
**Library authors should provide test utilities that fully abstract the DOM.** These utilities expose a public API for testing that remains stable even when internal implementation changes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (exposing DOM to consumers):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// my-library/src/components/data-grid.gjs
|
||||
export class DataGrid extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="data-grid">
|
||||
<div class="data-grid__header">
|
||||
<button class="sort-button" data-column="name">Name</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<div class="data-grid__body">
|
||||
{{#each @rows as |row|}}
|
||||
<div class="data-grid__row">{{row.name}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Consumer's test - tightly coupled to DOM
|
||||
import { render, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { DataGrid } from 'my-library';
|
||||
|
||||
test('sorting works', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><DataGrid @rows={{this.rows}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Fragile: breaks if class names or structure change
|
||||
await click('.data-grid__header .sort-button[data-column="name"]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('.data-grid__row:first-child').hasText('Alice');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Problems:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Consumer knows about `.data-grid__header`, `.sort-button`, `[data-column]`
|
||||
- Refactoring component structure breaks consumer tests
|
||||
- No clear public API for testing
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (providing DOM-abstracted test utilities):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// my-library/src/test-support/data-grid.js
|
||||

<div data-test-row class="data-grid__row">{{row.name}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Consumer's test - abstracted from DOM
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { DataGrid } from 'my-library';
|
||||
import { getDataGrid } from 'my-library/test-support';
|
||||
|
||||
test('sorting works', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><DataGrid @rows={{this.rows}} @columns={{this.columns}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
const grid = getDataGrid();
|
||||
|
||||
// Clean API: no DOM knowledge required
|
||||
await grid.sortBy('name');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(grid.getRow(0), 'Alice');
|
||||
assert.deepEqual(grid.getRows(), ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie']);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Component internals can change without breaking consumer tests
|
||||
- Clear, documented testing API
|
||||
- Consumer tests are declarative and readable
|
||||
- Library maintains API stability contract
|
||||
|
||||
## When This Matters Most
|
||||
|
||||
### Team-Based Projects (Critical)
|
||||
|
||||
On projects with teams, DOM abstraction prevents:
|
||||
|
||||
- Merge conflicts from test changes
|
||||
- Cross-team coordination overhead
|
||||
- Broken tests from uncoordinated refactoring
|
||||
- Knowledge silos about component internals
|
||||
|
||||
### Solo Projects (Less Critical)
|
||||
|
||||
For solo projects, the benefit is smaller but still valuable:
|
||||
|
||||
- Easier refactoring without test maintenance
|
||||
- Better separation of concerns
|
||||
- Professional API design practice
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Use `data-test-*` Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// Stable test hooks that won't conflict with styling
|
||||
<button data-test-submit>Submit</button>
|
||||
<div data-test-error-message>{{@errorMessage}}</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Document the Test API
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @class FormTestHelper
|
||||
* @description Test utility for Form component
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @example
|
||||
* const form = getForm();
|
||||
* await form.fillIn('email', 'user@example.com');
|
||||
* await form.submit();
|
||||
* assert.strictEqual(form.getError(), 'Invalid email');
|
||||
*/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Provide Semantic Methods
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ✅ Semantic and declarative
|
||||
await modal.close();
|
||||
await form.fillIn('email', 'test@example.com');
|
||||
assert.true(dropdown.isOpen());
|
||||
|
||||
// ❌ Exposes implementation
|
||||
await click('.modal-close-button');
|
||||
await fillIn('.form-field[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
|
||||
assert.dom('.dropdown.is-open').exists();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Handle Edge Cases
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
export class FormTestHelper {
|
||||
async fillIn(fieldName, value) {
|
||||
const field = this.container.querySelector(`[data-test-field="${fieldName}"]`);
|
||||
if (!field) {
|
||||
throw new Error(
|
||||
`Field "${fieldName}" not found. Available fields: ${this.getFieldNames().join(', ')}`,
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
await fillIn(field, value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
getFieldNames() {
|
||||
return Array.from(this.container.querySelectorAll('[data-test-field]')).map(
|
||||
(el) => el.dataset.testField,
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Complete Test Utility
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// addon/test-support/modal.js
|
||||
import { click, find, waitUntil } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
export class ModalTestHelper {
|
||||
constructor(container = document) {
|
||||
this.container = container;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
get element() {
|
||||
return find('[data-test-modal]', this.container);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
isOpen() {
|
||||
return this.element !== null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async waitForOpen() {
|
||||
await waitUntil(() => this.isOpen(), { timeout: 1000 });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async waitForClose() {
|
||||
await waitUntil(() => !this.isOpen(), { timeout: 1000 });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
getTitle() {
|
||||
const titleEl = find('[data-test-modal-title]', this.element);
|
||||
return titleEl ? titleEl.textContent.trim() : null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
getBody() {
|
||||
const bodyEl = find('[data-test-modal-body]', this.element);
|
||||
return bodyEl ? bodyEl.textContent.trim() : null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async close() {
|
||||
if (!this.isOpen()) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Cannot close modal: modal is not open');
|
||||
}
|
||||
await click('[data-test-modal-close]', this.element);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async clickButton(buttonText) {
|
||||
const buttons = findAll('[data-test-modal-button]', this.element);
|
||||
const button = buttons.find((btn) => btn.textContent.trim() === buttonText);
|
||||
if (!button) {
|
||||
const available = buttons.map((b) => b.textContent.trim()).join(', ');
|
||||
throw new Error(`Button "${buttonText}" not found. Available: ${available}`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
await click(button);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export function getModal(container) {
|
||||
return new ModalTestHelper(container);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Impact
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:** ~30-50% of test maintenance time spent updating selectors
|
||||
**After:** Minimal test maintenance when refactoring components

## Use Modern Testing Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Use modern Ember testing patterns with `@ember/test-helpers` and `qunit-dom` for better test coverage and maintainability.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (old testing patterns):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-card-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, find, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import UserCard from 'my-app/components/user-card';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-card', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><UserCard /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Using find() instead of qunit-dom
|
||||
assert.ok(find('.user-card'));
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (modern testing patterns):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-card-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { setupIntl } from 'ember-intl/test-support';
|
||||
import UserCard from 'my-app/components/user-card';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-card', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
setupIntl(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders user information', async function (assert) {
|
||||
const user = {
|
||||
name: 'John Doe',
|
||||
email: 'john@example.com',
|
||||
avatarUrl: '/avatar.jpg',
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
await render(<template><UserCard @user={{user}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// qunit-dom assertions
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('John Doe');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-email]').hasText('john@example.com');
|
||||
assert
|
||||
.dom('[data-test-user-avatar]')
|
||||
.hasAttribute('src', '/avatar.jpg')
|
||||
.hasAttribute('alt', 'John Doe');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it handles edit action', async function (assert) {
|
||||
assert.expect(1);
|
||||
|
||||
const user = { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' };
|
||||
const handleEdit = (editedUser) => {
|
||||
assert.deepEqual(editedUser, user, 'Edit handler called with user');
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
await render(<template><UserCard @user={{user}} @onEdit={{handleEdit}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
await click('[data-test-edit-button]');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Component testing with reactive state:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-ts
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/search-box-test.ts
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, fillIn } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { trackedObject } from '@ember/reactive/collections';
|
||||
import SearchBox from 'my-app/components/search-box';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | search-box', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it performs search', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// Use trackedObject for reactive state in tests
|
||||
const state = trackedObject({
|
||||
results: [] as string[],
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
const handleSearch = (query: string) => {
|
||||
state.results = [`Result for ${query}`];
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<SearchBox @onSearch={{handleSearch}} />
|
||||
<ul data-test-results>
|
||||
{{#each state.results as |result|}}
|
||||
<li>{{result}}</li>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await fillIn('[data-test-search-input]', 'ember');
|
||||
|
||||
// State updates reactively - no waitFor needed when using test-waiters
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-results] li').hasText('Result for ember');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing with ember-concurrency tasks:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/async-button.js
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { task } from 'ember-concurrency';
|
||||
|
||||
export default class AsyncButtonComponent extends Component {
|
||||
@task
|
||||
*saveTask() {
|
||||
yield this.args.onSave();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button
|
||||
type="button"
|
||||
disabled={{this.saveTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
{{on "click" (perform this.saveTask)}}
|
||||
data-test-button
|
||||
>
|
||||
{{#if this.saveTask.isRunning}}
|
||||
<span data-test-loading-spinner>Saving...</span>
|
||||
{{else}}
|
||||
{{yield}}
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/async-button-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import AsyncButton from 'my-app/components/async-button';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | async-button', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it shows loading state during task execution', async function (assert) {
|
||||
let resolveTask;
|
||||
const onSave = () => {
|
||||
return new Promise((resolve) => {
|
||||
resolveTask = resolve;
|
||||
});
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<AsyncButton @onSave={{onSave}}>
|
||||
Save
|
||||
</AsyncButton>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Trigger the task
|
||||
await click('[data-test-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
// ember-concurrency automatically registers test waiters
|
||||
// The button will be disabled while the task runs
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-button]').hasAttribute('disabled');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-loading-spinner]').hasText('Saving...');
|
||||
|
||||
// Resolve the task
|
||||
resolveTask();
|
||||
// No need to call settled() - ember-concurrency's test waiters handle this
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-button]').doesNotHaveAttribute('disabled');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-loading-spinner]').doesNotExist();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-button]').hasText('Save');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use test-waiters with ember-concurrency:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **ember-concurrency auto-registers test waiters** - You don't need to manually register test waiters for ember-concurrency tasks. The library automatically waits for tasks to complete before test helpers like `click()`, `fillIn()`, etc. resolve.
|
||||
|
||||
- **You still need test-waiters when:**
|
||||
- Using raw Promises outside of ember-concurrency tasks
|
||||
- Working with third-party async operations that don't integrate with Ember's test waiter system
|
||||
- Creating custom async behavior that needs to pause test execution
|
||||
|
||||
- **You DON'T need additional test-waiters when:**
|
||||
- Using ember-concurrency tasks (already handled)
|
||||
- Using Ember Data operations (already handled)
|
||||
- Using `settled()` from `@ember/test-helpers` (already coordinates with test waiters)
|
||||
- **Note**: `waitFor()` and `waitUntil()` from `@ember/test-helpers` are code smells - if you need them, it indicates missing test-waiters in your code. Instrument your async operations with test-waiters instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**Route testing with MSW (Mock Service Worker):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/acceptance/posts-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { visit, currentURL, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { setupApplicationTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
|
||||
import { setupMSW } from 'my-app/tests/helpers/msw';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Acceptance | posts', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupApplicationTest(hooks);
|
||||
const { server } = setupMSW(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('visiting /posts', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/posts', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [
|
||||
{ id: '1', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 1' } },
|
||||
{ id: '2', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 2' } },
|
||||
{ id: '3', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 3' } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/posts');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), '/posts');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-post-item]').exists({ count: 3 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('clicking a post navigates to detail', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/posts', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [{ id: '1', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Test Post', slug: 'test-post' } }],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
http.get('/api/posts/test-post', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: { id: '1', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Test Post', slug: 'test-post' } },
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/posts');
|
||||
await click('[data-test-post-item]:first-child');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), '/posts/test-post');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-post-title]').hasText('Test Post');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Use MSW (Mock Service Worker) for API mocking instead of Mirage. MSW provides better conventions and doesn't lead developers astray. See `testing-msw-setup.md` for detailed setup instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Accessibility testing:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/modal-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import a11yAudit from 'ember-a11y-testing/test-support/audit';
|
||||
import Modal from 'my-app/components/modal';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | modal', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it passes accessibility audit', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Modal @isOpen={{true}} @title="Test Modal">
|
||||
<p>Modal content</p>
|
||||
</Modal>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await a11yAudit();
|
||||
assert.ok(true, 'no a11y violations');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it traps focus', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Modal @isOpen={{true}}>
|
||||
<button data-test-first>First</button>
|
||||
<button data-test-last>Last</button>
|
||||
</Modal>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-first]').isFocused();
|
||||
|
||||
// Tab should stay within modal
|
||||
await click('[data-test-last]');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-last]').isFocused();
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing with data-test attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/user-profile.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
|
||||
class UserProfile extends Component {
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div class="user-profile" data-test-user-profile>
|
||||
<img src={{@user.avatar}} alt={{@user.name}} data-test-avatar />
|
||||
<h2 data-test-name>{{@user.name}}</h2>
|
||||
<p data-test-email>{{@user.email}}</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if @onEdit}}
|
||||
<button {{on "click" (fn @onEdit @user)}} data-test-edit-button>
|
||||
Edit
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Modern testing patterns with `@ember/test-helpers`, `qunit-dom`, and data-test attributes provide better test reliability, readability, and maintainability.

## MSW (Mock Service Worker) Setup for Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Use MSW (Mock Service Worker) for API mocking in tests. MSW provides a cleaner approach than Mirage by intercepting requests at the network level without introducing unnecessary ORM patterns or abstractions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using Mirage with ORM complexity):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// mirage/config.js
|
||||
export default function () {
|
||||
this.namespace = '/api';
|
||||
|
||||
// Complex schema and factories
|
||||
this.get('/users', (schema) => {
|
||||
return schema.users.all();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Need to maintain schema, factories, serializers
|
||||
this.post('/users', (schema, request) => {
|
||||
let attrs = JSON.parse(request.requestBody);
|
||||
return schema.users.create(attrs);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using MSW with simple network mocking):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/helpers/msw.js
|
||||
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
|
||||
|
||||
// Simple request/response mocking
|
||||
export const handlers = [
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json([
|
||||
{ id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
|
||||
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob' },
|
||||
]);
|
||||
}),
|
||||
|
||||
http.post('/api/users', async ({ request }) => {
|
||||
const user = await request.json();
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ id: 3, ...user }, { status: 201 });
|
||||
}),
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why MSW over Mirage:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Better conventions** - Mock at the network level, not with an ORM
|
||||
- **Simpler mental model** - Define request handlers, return responses
|
||||
- **Doesn't lead developers astray** - No schema migrations or factories to maintain
|
||||
- **Works everywhere** - Same mocks work in tests, Storybook, and development
|
||||
- **More realistic** - Actually intercepts fetch/XMLHttpRequest
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install --save-dev msw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Test Helper
|
||||
|
||||
Create a test helper to set up MSW in your tests:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/helpers/msw.js
|
||||
import { setupServer } from 'msw/node';
|
||||
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
|
||||
|
||||
// Define default handlers that apply to all tests
|
||||
const defaultHandlers = [
|
||||
// Add default handlers here if needed
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
export function setupMSW(hooks, handlers = []) {
|
||||
const server = setupServer(...defaultHandlers, ...handlers);
|
||||
|
||||
hooks.beforeEach(function () {
|
||||
server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: 'warn' });
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
hooks.afterEach(function () {
|
||||
server.resetHandlers();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
hooks.after(function () {
|
||||
server.close();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return { server };
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Re-export for convenience
|
||||
export { http, HttpResponse };
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage in Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/acceptance/users-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { visit, currentURL, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { setupApplicationTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { setupMSW, http, HttpResponse } from 'my-app/tests/helpers/msw';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Acceptance | users', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupApplicationTest(hooks);
|
||||
const { server } = setupMSW(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('displays list of users', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: '1',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: '2',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Bob', email: 'bob@example.com' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), '/users');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').exists({ count: 2 });
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('Alice');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('handles server errors gracefully', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ errors: [{ title: 'Server Error' }] }, { status: 500 });
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-error-message]').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-error-message]').containsText('Server Error');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mocking POST/PUT/DELETE Requests
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { visit, click, fillIn } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
test('creates a new user', async function (assert) {
|
||||
let capturedRequest = null;
|
||||
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.post('/api/users', async ({ request }) => {
|
||||
capturedRequest = await request.json();
|
||||
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json(
|
||||
{
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: '3',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: capturedRequest.data.attributes,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ status: 201 },
|
||||
);
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users/new');
|
||||
await fillIn('[data-test-name-input]', 'Charlie');
|
||||
await fillIn('[data-test-email-input]', 'charlie@example.com');
|
||||
await click('[data-test-submit-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.strictEqual(currentURL(), '/users/3');
|
||||
assert.deepEqual(capturedRequest.data.attributes, {
|
||||
name: 'Charlie',
|
||||
email: 'charlie@example.com',
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('updates an existing user', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users/1', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: '1',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
http.patch('/api/users/1', async ({ request }) => {
|
||||
const body = await request.json();
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: '1',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: body.data.attributes,
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users/1/edit');
|
||||
await fillIn('[data-test-name-input]', 'Alice Updated');
|
||||
await click('[data-test-submit-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('Alice Updated');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('deletes a user', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [{ id: '1', type: 'user', attributes: { name: 'Alice' } }],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
http.delete('/api/users/1', () => {
|
||||
return new HttpResponse(null, { status: 204 });
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users');
|
||||
await click('[data-test-delete-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').doesNotExist();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Parameters and Dynamic Routes
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('filters users by query parameter', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', ({ request }) => {
|
||||
const url = new URL(request.url);
|
||||
const searchQuery = url.searchParams.get('filter[name]');
|
||||
|
||||
const users = [
|
||||
{ id: '1', type: 'user', attributes: { name: 'Alice' } },
|
||||
{ id: '2', type: 'user', attributes: { name: 'Bob' } },
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
const filtered = searchQuery
|
||||
? users.filter((u) => u.attributes.name.includes(searchQuery))
|
||||
: users;
|
||||
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ data: filtered });
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users?filter[name]=Alice');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').exists({ count: 1 });
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('Alice');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('handles dynamic route segments', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users/:id', ({ params }) => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: params.id,
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: `User ${params.id}` },
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users/42');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('User 42');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Delays and Race Conditions
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('handles slow network responses', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', async () => {
|
||||
// Simulate network delay
|
||||
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
|
||||
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [{ id: '1', type: 'user', attributes: { name: 'Alice' } }],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
const visitPromise = visit('/users');
|
||||
|
||||
// Loading state should be visible
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-loading-spinner]').exists();
|
||||
|
||||
await visitPromise;
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-loading-spinner]').doesNotExist();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').exists();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Shared Handlers with Reusable Fixtures
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/helpers/msw-handlers.js
|
||||
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
|
||||
|
||||
export const userHandlers = {
|
||||
list: (users = []) => {
|
||||
return http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ data: users });
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
get: (user) => {
|
||||
return http.get(`/api/users/${user.id}`, () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ data: user });
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
create: (attributes) => {
|
||||
return http.post('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json(
|
||||
{
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: String(Math.random()),
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes,
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ status: 201 },
|
||||
);
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
// Common fixtures
|
||||
export const fixtures = {
|
||||
users: {
|
||||
alice: {
|
||||
id: '1',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
bob: {
|
||||
id: '2',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Bob', email: 'bob@example.com' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/acceptance/users-test.js
|
||||
import { userHandlers, fixtures } from 'my-app/tests/helpers/msw-handlers';
|
||||
|
||||
test('displays list of users', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(userHandlers.list([fixtures.users.alice, fixtures.users.bob]));
|
||||
|
||||
await visit('/users');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').exists({ count: 2 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Test Setup
|
||||
|
||||
MSW works in integration tests too:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-list-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, waitFor } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import { setupMSW, http, HttpResponse } from 'my-app/tests/helpers/msw';
|
||||
import UserList from 'my-app/components/user-list';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-list', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
const { server } = setupMSW(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('fetches and displays users', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/users', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [{ id: '1', type: 'user', attributes: { name: 'Alice' } }],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<UserList />
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for async data to load
|
||||
await waitFor('[data-test-user-item]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-item]').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('Alice');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define handlers per test** - Use `server.use()` in individual tests rather than global handlers
|
||||
2. **Reset between tests** - The helper automatically resets handlers after each test
|
||||
3. **Use JSON:API format** - Keep responses consistent with your API format
|
||||
4. **Test error states** - Mock various HTTP error codes (400, 401, 403, 404, 500)
|
||||
5. **Capture requests** - Use the request object to verify what your app sent
|
||||
6. **Use fixtures** - Create reusable test data to keep tests DRY
|
||||
7. **Simulate delays** - Test loading states with artificial delays
|
||||
8. **Type-safe responses** - In TypeScript, type your response payloads
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Default handlers for all tests:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/helpers/msw.js
|
||||
const defaultHandlers = [
|
||||
// Always return current user
|
||||
http.get('/api/current-user', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
id: '1',
|
||||
type: 'user',
|
||||
attributes: { name: 'Test User', role: 'admin' },
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**One-time handlers (don't persist):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// MSW handlers persist until resetHandlers() is called
|
||||
// The test helper automatically resets after each test
|
||||
// For a one-time handler within a test, manually reset:
|
||||
test('one-time response', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/special', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ data: 'special' });
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// First request gets mocked response
|
||||
await visit('/special');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-data]').hasText('special');
|
||||
|
||||
// Reset to remove this handler
|
||||
server.resetHandlers();
|
||||
|
||||
// Subsequent requests will use default handlers or be unhandled
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Conditional responses:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
http.post('/api/login', async ({ request }) => {
|
||||
const { email, password } = await request.json();
|
||||
|
||||
if (email === 'test@example.com' && password === 'password') {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: { token: 'abc123' },
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({ errors: [{ title: 'Invalid credentials' }] }, { status: 401 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration from Mirage
|
||||
|
||||
If migrating from Mirage:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Remove `ember-cli-mirage` dependency
|
||||
2. Delete `mirage/` directory (models, factories, scenarios)
|
||||
3. Install MSW: `npm install --save-dev msw`
|
||||
4. Create the MSW test helper (see above)
|
||||
5. Replace `setupMirage(hooks)` with `setupMSW(hooks)`
|
||||
6. Convert Mirage handlers:
|
||||
- `this.server.get()` → `http.get()`
|
||||
- `this.server.create()` → Return inline JSON
|
||||
- `this.server.createList()` → Return array of JSON objects
|
||||
|
||||
**Before (Mirage):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('lists posts', async function (assert) {
|
||||
this.server.createList('post', 3);
|
||||
await visit('/posts');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-post]').exists({ count: 3 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After (MSW):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('lists posts', async function (assert) {
|
||||
server.use(
|
||||
http.get('/api/posts', () => {
|
||||
return HttpResponse.json({
|
||||
data: [
|
||||
{ id: '1', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 1' } },
|
||||
{ id: '2', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 2' } },
|
||||
{ id: '3', type: 'post', attributes: { title: 'Post 3' } },
|
||||
],
|
||||
});
|
||||
}),
|
||||
);
|
||||
await visit('/posts');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-post]').exists({ count: 3 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Use qunit-dom for Better Test Assertions
|
||||
|
||||
Use `qunit-dom` for DOM assertions in tests. It provides expressive, chainable assertions that make tests more readable and provide better error messages than raw QUnit assertions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why qunit-dom:**
|
||||
|
||||
- More expressive and readable test assertions
|
||||
- Better error messages when tests fail
|
||||
- Type-safe with TypeScript
|
||||
- Reduces boilerplate in DOM testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic DOM Assertions
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (verbose QUnit assertions):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/greeting-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | greeting', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Greeting @name="World" /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
const element = this.element.querySelector('.greeting');
|
||||
assert.ok(element, 'greeting element exists');
|
||||
assert.equal(element.textContent.trim(), 'Hello, World!', 'shows greeting');
|
||||
assert.ok(element.classList.contains('greeting'), 'has greeting class');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (expressive qunit-dom):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/greeting-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | greeting', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Greeting @name="World" /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('.greeting').exists('greeting element exists');
|
||||
assert.dom('.greeting').hasText('Hello, World!', 'shows greeting');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Assertions
|
||||
|
||||
**Existence and Visibility:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('element visibility', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<MyComponent />
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Element exists in DOM
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-output]').exists();
|
||||
|
||||
// Element doesn't exist
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-deleted]').doesNotExist();
|
||||
|
||||
// Element is visible (not display: none or visibility: hidden)
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-visible]').isVisible();
|
||||
|
||||
// Element is not visible
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-hidden]').isNotVisible();
|
||||
|
||||
// Count elements
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-item]').exists({ count: 3 });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Text Content:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('text assertions', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Article @title="Hello World" /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Exact text match
|
||||
assert.dom('h1').hasText('Hello World');
|
||||
|
||||
// Contains text (partial match)
|
||||
assert.dom('p').containsText('Hello');
|
||||
|
||||
// Any text exists
|
||||
assert.dom('h1').hasAnyText();
|
||||
|
||||
// No text
|
||||
assert.dom('.empty').hasNoText();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('attribute assertions', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Button @disabled={{true}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Has attribute (any value)
|
||||
assert.dom('button').hasAttribute('disabled');
|
||||
|
||||
// Has specific attribute value
|
||||
assert.dom('button').hasAttribute('type', 'submit');
|
||||
|
||||
// Attribute value matches regex
|
||||
assert.dom('a').hasAttribute('href', /^https:\/\//);
|
||||
|
||||
// Doesn't have attribute
|
||||
assert.dom('button').doesNotHaveAttribute('aria-hidden');
|
||||
|
||||
// Has ARIA attributes
|
||||
assert.dom('[role="button"]').hasAttribute('aria-label', 'Close dialog');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Classes:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('class assertions', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Card @status="active" /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Has single class
|
||||
assert.dom('.card').hasClass('active');
|
||||
|
||||
// Doesn't have class
|
||||
assert.dom('.card').doesNotHaveClass('disabled');
|
||||
|
||||
// Has no classes at all
|
||||
assert.dom('.plain').hasNoClass();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Form Elements:**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('form assertions', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<form>
|
||||
<input type="text" value="hello" />
|
||||
<input type="checkbox" checked />
|
||||
<input type="radio" disabled />
|
||||
<select>
|
||||
<option selected>Option 1</option>
|
||||
</select>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Input value
|
||||
assert.dom('input[type="text"]').hasValue('hello');
|
||||
|
||||
// Checkbox/radio state
|
||||
assert.dom('input[type="checkbox"]').isChecked();
|
||||
assert.dom('input[type="checkbox"]').isNotChecked();
|
||||
|
||||
// Disabled state
|
||||
assert.dom('input[type="radio"]').isDisabled();
|
||||
assert.dom('input[type="text"]').isNotDisabled();
|
||||
|
||||
// Required state
|
||||
assert.dom('input').isRequired();
|
||||
assert.dom('input').isNotRequired();
|
||||
|
||||
// Focus state
|
||||
assert.dom('input').isFocused();
|
||||
assert.dom('input').isNotFocused();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Chaining Assertions
|
||||
|
||||
You can chain multiple assertions on the same element:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('chained assertions', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Button @variant="primary" @disabled={{false}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('button')
|
||||
.exists()
|
||||
.hasClass('btn-primary')
|
||||
.hasAttribute('type', 'button')
|
||||
.isNotDisabled()
|
||||
.hasText('Submit')
|
||||
.isVisible();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Error Messages
|
||||
|
||||
Add custom messages to make failures clearer:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('custom messages', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><UserProfile @user={{this.user}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-username]')
|
||||
.hasText(this.user.name, 'username is displayed correctly');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-avatar]')
|
||||
.exists('user avatar should be visible');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Counts
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('list items', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template>
|
||||
<TodoList @todos={{this.todos}} />
|
||||
</template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// Exact count
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-todo]').exists({ count: 5 });
|
||||
|
||||
// At least one
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-todo]').exists({ count: 1 });
|
||||
|
||||
// None
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-todo]').doesNotExist();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessibility Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Use qunit-dom for basic accessibility checks:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
test('accessibility', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><Modal @onClose={{this.close}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
// ARIA roles
|
||||
assert.dom('[role="dialog"]').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('[role="dialog"]').hasAttribute('aria-modal', 'true');
|
||||
|
||||
// Labels
|
||||
assert.dom('[aria-label="Close modal"]').exists();
|
||||
|
||||
// Focus management
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-close-button]').isFocused();
|
||||
|
||||
// Required fields
|
||||
assert.dom('input[name="email"]').hasAttribute('aria-required', 'true');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use data-test attributes** for test selectors instead of classes:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Good
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-submit-button]').exists();
|
||||
|
||||
// Avoid - classes can change
|
||||
assert.dom('.btn.btn-primary').exists();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Make assertions specific**:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Better - exact match
|
||||
assert.dom('h1').hasText('Welcome');
|
||||
|
||||
// Less specific - could miss issues
|
||||
assert.dom('h1').containsText('Welc');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Use meaningful custom messages**:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-error]').hasText('Invalid email', 'shows correct validation error');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Combine with @ember/test-helpers**:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { click, fillIn } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
await fillIn('[data-test-email]', 'user@example.com');
|
||||
await click('[data-test-submit]');
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-success]').exists();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Test user-visible behavior**, not implementation:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Good - tests what user sees
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-greeting]').hasText('Hello, Alice');
|
||||
|
||||
// Avoid - tests implementation details
|
||||
assert.ok(this.component.internalState === 'ready');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
qunit-dom makes your tests more maintainable and easier to understand. It comes pre-installed with `ember-qunit`, so you can start using it immediately.

|

## Use Appropriate Render Patterns in Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Choose the right rendering pattern based on whether your component needs arguments, blocks, or attributes in the test.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (using template tag unnecessarily):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/loading-spinner-test.js
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import LoadingSpinner from 'my-app/components/loading-spinner';
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ❌ Unnecessary template wrapper for component with no args
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<LoadingSpinner />
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-spinner]').exists();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (direct component render when no args needed):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/loading-spinner-test.js
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import LoadingSpinner from 'my-app/components/loading-spinner';
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Simple: pass component directly when no args needed
|
||||
await render(LoadingSpinner);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-spinner]').exists();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 1: Direct component render (no args/blocks/attributes):**
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/loading-spinner-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import LoadingSpinner from 'my-app/components/loading-spinner';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | loading-spinner', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders without arguments', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Simple: pass component directly when no args needed
|
||||
await render(LoadingSpinner);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-spinner]').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-spinner]').hasClass('loading');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 2: Template tag render (with args/blocks/attributes):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/user-card-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import UserCard from 'my-app/components/user-card';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | user-card', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders with arguments', async function (assert) {
|
||||
const user = { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' };
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Use template tag when passing arguments
|
||||
await render(<template><UserCard @user={{user}} /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-user-name]').hasText('John Doe');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders with block content', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Use template tag when providing blocks
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<UserCard>
|
||||
<:header>Custom Header</:header>
|
||||
<:body>Custom Content</:body>
|
||||
</UserCard>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-header]').hasText('Custom Header');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-body]').hasText('Custom Content');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders with HTML attributes', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Use template tag when passing HTML attributes
|
||||
await render(<template><UserCard class="featured" data-test-featured /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-featured]').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-featured]').hasClass('featured');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Complete example showing both patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/button-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import Button from 'my-app/components/button';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | button', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders default button', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ No args needed - use direct render
|
||||
await render(Button);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('button').exists();
|
||||
assert.dom('button').hasText('Click me');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders with custom text', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Needs block content - use template tag
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Button>Submit Form</Button>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('button').hasText('Submit Form');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it handles click action', async function (assert) {
|
||||
assert.expect(1);
|
||||
|
||||
const handleClick = () => {
|
||||
assert.ok(true, 'Click handler called');
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Needs argument - use template tag
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Button @onClick={{handleClick}}>Click me</Button>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
await click('button');
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it applies variant styling', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Needs argument - use template tag
|
||||
await render(
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<Button @variant="primary">Primary Button</Button>
|
||||
</template>,
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('button').hasClass('btn-primary');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing template-only components:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/icon-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import Icon from 'my-app/components/icon';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | icon', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders default icon', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Template-only component with no args - use direct render
|
||||
await render(Icon);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-icon]').exists();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
test('it renders specific icon', async function (assert) {
|
||||
// ✅ Needs @name argument - use template tag
|
||||
await render(<template><Icon @name="check" @size="large" /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-icon]').hasAttribute('data-icon', 'check');
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-icon]').hasClass('icon-large');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision guide:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Pattern | Example |
|
||||
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| No arguments, blocks, or attributes | `render(Component)` | `render(LoadingSpinner)` |
|
||||
| Component needs arguments | `render(<template>...</template>)` | `render(<template><Card @title="Hello" /></template>)` |
|
||||
| Component receives block content | `render(<template>...</template>)` | `render(<template><Card>Content</Card></template>)` |
|
||||
| Component needs HTML attributes | `render(<template>...</template>)` | `render(<template><Card class="featured" /></template>)` |
|
||||
| Multiple test context properties | `render(<template>...</template>)` | `render(<template><Card @data={{this.data}} /></template>)` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this matters:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simplicity**: Direct render reduces boilerplate for simple cases
|
||||
- **Clarity**: Template syntax makes data flow explicit when needed
|
||||
- **Consistency**: Clear pattern helps teams write maintainable tests
|
||||
- **Type Safety**: Both patterns work with TypeScript for component types
|
||||
|
||||
**Common patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// ✅ Simple component, no setup needed
|
||||
await render(LoadingSpinner);
|
||||
await render(Divider);
|
||||
await render(Logo);
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Component with arguments from test context
|
||||
await render(
|
||||

Card content
|
||||
</Card>
|

</template>,
|

);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using the appropriate render pattern keeps tests clean and expressive.

||||
|
||||
## Use Test Waiters for Async Operations
|
||||
|
||||
Instrument async code with test waiters instead of using `waitFor()` or `waitUntil()` in tests. Test waiters abstract async implementation details so tests focus on user behavior rather than timing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Test Waiters Matter:**
|
||||
|
||||
Test waiters allow `settled()` and other test helpers to automatically wait for your async operations. This means:
|
||||
|
||||
- Tests don't need to know about implementation details (timeouts, polling intervals, etc.)
|
||||
- Tests are written from a user's perspective ("click button, see result")
|
||||
- Code refactoring doesn't break tests
|
||||
- Tests are more reliable and less flaky
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (testing implementation details):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/data-loader-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click, waitFor } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import DataLoader from 'my-app/components/data-loader';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | data-loader', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it loads data', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><DataLoader /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
await click('[data-test-load-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
// BAD: Test knows about implementation details
|
||||
// If the component changes from polling every 100ms to 200ms, test breaks
|
||||
await waitFor('[data-test-data]', { timeout: 5000 });
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-data]').hasText('Loaded data');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (using test waiters):**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/data-loader.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|

import { buildWaiter } from '@ember/test-waiters';
|

const waiter = buildWaiter('data-loader');
|

export class DataLoader extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked data = null;
|
||||
@tracked isLoading = false;
|
||||
|
||||
loadData = async () => {
|
||||
// Register the async operation with test waiter
|
||||
const token = waiter.beginAsync();
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
this.isLoading = true;
|
||||
|
||||
// Simulate async data loading
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/data');
|
||||
this.data = await response.json();
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isLoading = false;
|
||||
// Always end the async operation, even on error
|
||||
waiter.endAsync(token);
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|

<div>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.loadData}} data-test-load-button>
|
||||
Load Data
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.isLoading}}
|
||||
<div data-test-loading>Loading...</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
|
||||
{{#if this.data}}
|
||||
<div data-test-data>{{this.data}}</div>
|
||||
{{/if}}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/integration/components/data-loader-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { render, click, settled } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
import DataLoader from 'my-app/components/data-loader';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Integration | Component | data-loader', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it loads data', async function (assert) {
|
||||
await render(<template><DataLoader /></template>);
|
||||
|
||||
await click('[data-test-load-button]');
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: settled() automatically waits for test waiters
|
||||
// No knowledge of timing needed - tests from user's perspective
|
||||
await settled();
|
||||
|
||||
assert.dom('[data-test-data]').hasText('Loaded data');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Test waiter with cleanup:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/polling-widget.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { registerDestructor } from '@ember/destroyable';
|
||||
import { buildWaiter } from '@ember/test-waiters';
|
||||
|
||||
const waiter = buildWaiter('polling-widget');
|
||||
|
||||
export class PollingWidget extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked status = 'idle';
|
||||
intervalId = null;
|
||||
token = null;
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(owner, args) {
|
||||
super(owner, args);
|
||||
|
||||
registerDestructor(this, () => {
|
||||
this.stopPolling();
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
startPolling = () => {
|
||||
// Register async operation
|
||||
this.token = waiter.beginAsync();
|
||||
|
||||
this.intervalId = setInterval(() => {
|
||||
this.checkStatus();
|
||||
}, 1000);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
stopPolling = () => {
|
||||
if (this.intervalId) {
|
||||
clearInterval(this.intervalId);
|
||||
this.intervalId = null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// End async operation on cleanup
|
||||
if (this.token) {
|
||||
waiter.endAsync(this.token);
|
||||
this.token = null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
checkStatus = async () => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/status');
|
||||
this.status = await response.text();
|
||||
|
||||
if (this.status === 'complete') {
|
||||
this.stopPolling();
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.startPolling}} data-test-start>
|
||||
Start Polling
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
<div data-test-status>{{this.status}}</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Test waiter with Services:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/services/data-sync.js
|
||||
import Service from '@ember/service';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { buildWaiter } from '@ember/test-waiters';
|
||||
|
||||
const waiter = buildWaiter('data-sync-service');
|
||||
|
||||
export class DataSyncService extends Service {
|
||||
@tracked isSyncing = false;
|
||||
|
||||
async sync() {
|
||||
const token = waiter.beginAsync();
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
this.isSyncing = true;
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await fetch('/api/sync', { method: 'POST' });
|
||||
const result = await response.json();
|
||||
|
||||
return result;
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
this.isSyncing = false;
|
||||
waiter.endAsync(token);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// tests/unit/services/data-sync-test.js
|
||||
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
|
||||
import { setupTest } from 'ember-qunit';
|
||||
import { settled } from '@ember/test-helpers';
|
||||
|
||||
module('Unit | Service | data-sync', function (hooks) {
|
||||
setupTest(hooks);
|
||||
|
||||
test('it syncs data', async function (assert) {
|
||||
const service = this.owner.lookup('service:data-sync');
|
||||
|
||||
// Start async operation
|
||||
const syncPromise = service.sync();
|
||||
|
||||
// No need for manual waiting - settled() handles it
|
||||
await settled();
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await syncPromise;
|
||||
assert.ok(result, 'Sync completed successfully');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Multiple concurrent operations:**
|
||||
|
||||
```glimmer-js
|
||||
// app/components/parallel-loader.gjs
|
||||
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
|
||||
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
|
||||
import { buildWaiter } from '@ember/test-waiters';
|
||||
|
||||
const waiter = buildWaiter('parallel-loader');
|
||||
|
||||
export class ParallelLoader extends Component {
|
||||
@tracked results = [];
|
||||
|
||||
loadAll = async () => {
|
||||
const urls = ['/api/data1', '/api/data2', '/api/data3'];
|
||||
|
||||
// Each request gets its own token
|
||||
const requests = urls.map(async (url) => {
|
||||
const token = waiter.beginAsync();
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(url);
|
||||
return await response.json();
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
waiter.endAsync(token);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
this.results = await Promise.all(requests);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
<template>
|
||||
<button {{on "click" this.loadAll}} data-test-load-all>
|
||||
Load All
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
{{#each this.results as |result|}}
|
||||
<div data-test-result>{{result}}</div>
|
||||
{{/each}}
|
||||
</template>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **User-focused tests**: Tests describe user actions, not implementation
|
||||
2. **Resilient to refactoring**: Change timing/polling without breaking tests
|
||||
3. **No arbitrary timeouts**: Tests complete as soon as operations finish
|
||||
4. **Automatic waiting**: `settled()`, `click()`, etc. wait for all registered operations
|
||||
5. **Better debugging**: Test waiters show pending operations when tests hang
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use test waiters:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Network requests (fetch, XHR)
|
||||
- Timers and intervals (setTimeout, setInterval)
|
||||
- Animations and transitions
|
||||
- Polling operations
|
||||
- Any async operation that affects rendered output
|
||||
|
||||
**When NOT needed:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ember-concurrency already registers test waiters automatically
|
||||
- Promises that complete before render (data preparation in constructors)
|
||||
- Operations that don't affect the DOM or component state
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle:** If your code does something async that users care about, register it with a test waiter. Tests should never use `waitFor()` or `waitUntil()` - those are code smells indicating missing test waiters.

## VSCode Extensions and MCP Configuration for Ember Projects
|
||||
|
||||
Set up recommended VSCode extensions and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for optimal Ember development experience.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (no extension recommendations):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"recommendations": []
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (recommended extensions for Ember):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"recommendations": [
|
||||
"emberjs.vscode-ember",
|
||||
"vunguyentuan.vscode-glint",
|
||||
"esbenp.prettier-vscode",
|
||||
"dbaeumer.vscode-eslint"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended VSCode Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `.vscode/extensions.json` file in your project root to recommend extensions to all team members:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"recommendations": [
|
||||
"emberjs.vscode-ember",
|
||||
"vunguyentuan.vscode-glint",
|
||||
"esbenp.prettier-vscode",
|
||||
"dbaeumer.vscode-eslint"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Ember Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
**ember-extension-pack** (or individual extensions):
|
||||
|
||||
- `emberjs.vscode-ember` - Ember.js language support
|
||||
- Syntax highlighting for `.hbs`, `.gjs`, `.gts` files
|
||||
- IntelliSense for Ember-specific patterns
|
||||
- Code snippets for common Ember patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Glint 2 Extension** (for TypeScript projects):
|
||||
|
||||
- `vunguyentuan.vscode-glint` - Type checking for Glimmer templates
|
||||
- Real-time type errors in `.gts`/`.gjs` files
|
||||
- Template-aware autocomplete
|
||||
- Hover information for template helpers and components
|
||||
|
||||
Install instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Via command palette
|
||||
# Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)
|
||||
# Type: "Extensions: Install Extensions"
|
||||
# Search for "Ember" or "Glint"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Configure MCP servers in `.vscode/settings.json` to integrate AI coding assistants with Ember-specific context:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"github.copilot.enable": {
|
||||
"*": true,
|
||||
"yaml": false,
|
||||
"plaintext": false,
|
||||
"markdown": false
|
||||
},
|
||||
"mcp.servers": {
|
||||
"ember-mcp": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["@ember/mcp-server"],
|
||||
"description": "Ember.js MCP Server - Provides Ember-specific context"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chrome-devtools": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-chrome-devtools"],
|
||||
"description": "Chrome DevTools MCP Server - Browser debugging integration"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"playwright": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["@playwright/mcp-server"],
|
||||
"description": "Playwright MCP Server - Browser automation and testing"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Server Benefits

## Complete VSCode Settings Example
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
|
||||
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
|
||||
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
|
||||
"source.fixAll.eslint": "explicit"
|
||||

|
||||
},
|
||||
"[glimmer-ts]": {
|
||||
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"files.associations": {
|
||||
"*.gjs": "glimmer-js",
|
||||
"*.gts": "glimmer-ts"
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"glint.enabled": true,
|
||||
"glint.configPath": "./tsconfig.json",
|
||||
|
||||
"github.copilot.enable": {
|
||||
"*": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
"mcp.servers": {
|
||||
"ember-mcp": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["@ember/mcp-server"],
|
||||
"description": "Ember.js MCP Server"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chrome-devtools": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-chrome-devtools"],
|
||||
"description": "Chrome DevTools MCP Server"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## TypeScript Configuration (when using Glint)
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure your `tsconfig.json` has Glint configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
// ... standard TS options
|
||||
},
|
||||
"glint": {
|
||||
"environment": ["ember-loose", "ember-template-imports"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install extensions** (prompted automatically when opening project with `.vscode/extensions.json`)
|
||||
2. **Install Glint** (if using TypeScript):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install --save-dev @glint/core @glint/environment-ember-loose @glint/environment-ember-template-imports
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Configure MCP servers** in `.vscode/settings.json`
|
||||
4. **Reload VSCode** to activate all extensions and MCP integrations
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
- **Consistent team setup**: All developers get same extensions
|
||||
- **Type safety**: Glint provides template type checking
|
||||
- **AI assistance**: MCP servers give AI tools Ember-specific context
|
||||
- **Better DX**: Autocomplete, debugging, and testing integration
|
||||
- **Reduced onboarding**: New team members get productive faster
