That is the third in our DecEmber sequence–”Countdown to The New Yr: 31 Days of Ember Addons”. We plan to focus on a brand new addon every day till the brand new 12 months, and we hope you may be part of us for the enjoyable!
Right now we’re going to have a look at a rising star in our addon ecosystem- ember-modifier.
What It Does
The ember-modifier addon supplies an API for authoring aspect modifiers in Ember. It mirrors Ember’s helper API, and has varieties for writing each easy useful modifiers and extra difficult class modifiers.
A modifier can add personalized, automated habits to a DOM aspect, resembling monitoring scroll place or including new occasion listeners. After you write a modifier, you should use it in a template like this:
<div >
Some extra content material
</div>
Builders who’ve tried out the Octane preview may already be conversant in ember-render-modifiers, which offer some modifiers like {{did-insert}} out of the field. With ember-modifiers, you may transcend the field to construct no matter your app wants!

Why I Like It
I believe this addon is a extremely nice instance of the Ember neighborhood coming collectively and gathering round a single answer that everybody can profit from.
This addon was initially a number of completely different addons- ember-oo-modifiers, ember-functional-modifiers, and ember-class-based-modifier. The authors got here collectively and labored to create a single method – as soon as once more, giving the neighborhood the present of sturdy conventions which are so well-loved and recognized in Ember.
I particularly beloved Spencer Value’s discuss modifiers at EmberCamp Chicago this year- Modifiers: the Good and the Camp. Test it out if you have not seen it but. It is an informative and entertaining speak!
