Chris Ng (@chrisng) has proposed deprecating assist for getWithDefault. This technique, which has existed since Ember 1.0, is meant to assist an Ember object return a default worth.
The issue with getWithDefault lies in its conduct. It returns the default worth solely when the retrieved worth of the property is undefined. Different falsey values, similar to null or '', do not outcome within the default worth. This conduct could or is probably not what you meant.
That will help you write code explicitly, TC39 has give you the nullish coalescing operator, ??, now in Stage 3 proposal. RFC 554 explains that it might be higher to depend on the native implementation.
What are your ideas on deprecating getWithDefault? We encourage you to learn the RFC and take part immediately!
Because of Rajasegar Chandran (@rajasegar) and Ryan Mark (@tylerturdenpants), the ember-codemods-telemetry-helpers addon contains a detailed readme and companion weblog put up. 💞
Historically, Ember codemods have relied on static code evaluation that can assist you (a codemod creator) convert information from one model to the following. In distinction, telemetry-powered codemods can run the app that can assist you collect knowledge on parts, companies, routes, controllers, and so on.
To be taught extra about telemetry helpers, we encourage you to go to Rajasegar’s weblog. You too can take a look at ember-native-class-codemod and ember-no-implicit-this-codemod to learn the way codemods use telemetry helpers immediately!
Godfrey Chan (@chancancode) and Vaidehi Joshi (@vaidehijoshi) additional expanded the Tremendous Leases Tutorial for Ember Octane by releasing half 2 of the tutorial!
This robotically generated tutorial now helps decorators due to Chris Garrett (@pzuraq) who had a repair to exchange all @ symbols inside code blocks with a placeholder, processes them, after which switches them again after processing.
