مرحبا Emberistas! 🐹
This week: Discover out what’s new in Ember Inspector and Extensible Ember Inspector 👨💻, learn in regards to the Glimmer Parts RFC ✨, register for EmberConf 2019 📆, and a brand new RFC on Render Component Modifiers 🔨!
The Ember Inspector group has been working arduous over the previous few months to shut out numerous
tremendous previous points (some from a number of years in the past!), in addition to including new
options to Ember Inspector. Because of @nummi
now you can sustain with the modifications being made as effectively! When
you open a brand new model of Ember Inspector, you may now be proven an information tab
with all of the modifications because the final model.
We additionally did a number of third occasion library swaps and updates,
most notably switching from ember-pikaday to
ember-flatpickr
and utilizing ember-table for the info tab.
@rwwagner90 championed the date picker change, which resolved a number of points with
pikaday, and in addition eliminated our dependence on jQuery.
@thorsteinsson championed the ember-table
work and, because of the change, now you can scroll the desk horizontally! 🎉
Lastly, we’re working arduous on the way forward for Ember Inspector, and have an RFC
up for making it extensible, which might enable for issues like swapping out the
information tab to make use of Redux, and many others. Please try the RFC and tell us your
ideas!
@pzuraq put up an RFC (Request for Feedback) for supporting Glimmer elements – which characterize a less complicated, extra declarative and ergonomic method to constructing elements – into Ember’s public API. Glimmer elements would be the new default app expertise in Ember Octane.
Glimmer elements intention to eradicate confusion with traditional elements, by aligning extra intently with trendy template syntax and options corresponding to:
Outer HTML Semantics the place there isn’t a wrapping outer component by default and any dynamic values are explicitly said within the template.
Namespaced Arguments by having Glimmer elements assign their arguments to the args property on their occasion, stopping namespace collisions.
Immutable Arguments for the this.args object, as talked about above, which is able to normalize the best way the info flows by the app. This can even promote the utilization of the {{@arg}} syntax – which refers on to the arguments handed into the invocation of the part – when applicable since it’s extra predictable in nature.
Minimal Lessons the place Glimmer elements received’t have any component/DOM based mostly properties, hooks, occasion handler features (that are supplied as a substitute by component modifiers) to be able to scale back the psychological mannequin and allow customers to be productive out of the field.
Learn and touch upon the full RFC on GitHub.
2019 is quickly approaching, and you have another factor to do earlier than EOY: purchase your EmberConf ticket! This 12 months’s Early-Fowl low cost is important ($50), whereas provides final or till 12/31. So earlier than anything, here is that large shiny button! 🆗
This system has been introduced and is wanting actually nice: so many new faces, and a bunch of acquainted previous ones! Remember to try the full schedule for all the main points.
We’re notably enthusiastic about Inclusiveness at EmberConf this 12 months. In an business missing attendee and speaker variety, EmberConf strives to be an exception. Highlights of this 12 months’s efforts embrace:
A brand new RFC is out by @pzuraq and it’s fairly wonderful. It proposes including two new generic component modifiers, {{did-render}} and {{will-destroy}}, which customers can use to run code throughout the most typical phases of any component’s lifecycle. In case you’ve ever used any of the part hooks corresponding to didInsertElement or didRender, this may almost definitely be fairly helpful for you, since we will concentrate on the setup and teardown code with out worrying in regards to the general lifecycle.
The RFC could be very detailed and has a variety of useful code examples. Bear in mind to go away your ideas as a remark.
This week the brand new Ember Mentorship Program has been formally introduced!
It goals to information the subsequent wave of Ember builders of all expertise ranges into the neighborhood. By making builders reach public talking, discovering their area in a supportive peer group or leveling up their engineering expertise this system is meant for you!
Be taught all about the Ember Mentorship Program and be a part of the neighborhood!
