Ember powerselect8/2/2023 ![]() When an attorney opens a patent application file, they will have their primary prose window, and then also might simultaneously open a drawings window and a tools window (and there are several other special-purpose windows like a splash screen and a landing page). Rowan Patents brings together the prose and drawings, along with a number of other efficiency tools, into a single multi-window desktop application. Most patents consist of a bunch of pages of prose, and some pages of drawings, so most patent attorneys use Microsoft Word and Visio for their patent drafting. I work at Rowan Patents, and our main Ember app is a desktop ( ember-electron) application for patent attorneys to use to draft patent applications - somewhat analogous to an IDE like VSCode. ![]() Hopefully reading about my experience will help others through the same process, and help accelerate polishing and adoption of embroider within the Ember ecosystem. In the case of non-component templates, that context is the current controller, while in the case of component templates, it is the parent component (if there is one), or again the current controller if the component is not nested.I spent the last 3.5 weeks or so switching our primary app over to using embroider, and getting it working with all the optimized settings plus code splitting across routes. The general rule is that actions are fired on the current context. What makes this worse is that no error message is logged the parent component just swallows the error. That trips up a lot of people since they expect the action to be fired the same way that actions from route-driven templates are, on the controller (and then bubbling up on the active routes). When the user clicks the “Fave this” button, the faveBand action gets triggered, which fires the component’s faveAction that was passed in ( setAsFavorite, in the above case), on its parent component, band-list. ndAction('faveAction', this.get('band')) Let’s now see the template and component definition of band-list-item: // app/templates/components/band-list-item.hbs The action name that should be invoked when the user clicks on the button is passed into the band-list-item component, and becomes the value of its faveAction property. ![]() Let’s assume we have the following routes in our application: Router.map(function() 1: Expecting the Model Hook to Fire When All Context Objects Are Passed In With the following post, I hope to provide a map to evade these. But, as with any advanced framework, there are still pitfalls Ember developers may fall into. ![]() As the reasoning goes, it is better to take the time to get the solution for the core problem right, and then bake it into the framework, instead of throwing up our hands and letting everybody fend for themselves when they need to find a solution.Įmber.js is constantly evolving to make development even easier. However, finding the right abstraction, and covering all the cases, takes time and input from the whole community. One of its tenets is “convention over configuration,” and the conviction that there is a very large part of development common to most web applications, and thus a single best way to solve most of these everyday challenges. Ember.js is a comprehensive framework for building complex client-side applications. ![]()
