Jon Kilroy (@jkusa) launched the ember-arg-types library which offers a decorator (@arg) that maps glimmer arguments to native part properties. This permits default values and kind checking to be declared and documented in your part JS file.
On this instance, sortBy will return the string argument handed or will default to the string ’id’:
@arg(string)
sortBy = 'id';
As a substitute of writing one thing like this:
get sortBy() {
const { sortBy='id' } = this.args;
assert('`sortBy` have to be a string', typeof sortBy === 'string');
return sortBy;
}
Moreover ember-arg-types leverages the fb/prop-types library by importing kind validators for runtime kind checking. For instance, the identify argument beneath is required to be a string.
import Element from '@glimmer/part';
import { arg } from 'ember-arg-types';
import { string } from 'prop-types';
export default class CharacterComponent extends Element {
// `identify` string arg that's required
@arg(string.isRequired)
identify;
}
Attempt it out at this time by ember putting in ember-arg-types!
