EmberJS-EmberJS app scaffolding and guidance

Example

// app/routes/post.js import Route from '@ember/routing/route'; export default class PostRoute extends Route { model(params) { return this.store.findRecord('post', params.post_id); } } <!-- app/templates/post.hbs --> <h1>{{this.model.title}}</h1> {{outlet}}

Scenario

Content-heavy apps (blogs, docs, e-commerce, admin consoles) where deep linkability, bookmarking, and server-driven data loading are requirements. The route model hook centralizes data fetching, allows you to handle loading/error substates declaratively, and makes nested UIs and transition behavior predictable across a large app.

Example

// app/components/modal.js import Component from '@glimmer/component'; import { action } from '@ember/object'; export default class ModalComponent extends Component { @action close() { this.args.onClose?.(); } } <!-- app/components/modal.hbs --> <div class="modal"> <header>{{yield to="header"}}</header> <section>{{yield}}</section> <footer>{{yield to="footer"}}</footer> </div> Usage examples: <Modal as |m|> <m.header>Title</m.header> <m>Body</m> <m.footer>Actions</m.footer> </Modal> Also: angle-bracket invocation (<MyComponent />), built-in modifiers like {{on}} for DOM events, and third-party modifiers for low-level DOM lifecycles.

Scenario

Design systems and reusable UI libraries: Glimmer components are small, testable, and fast. Teams building a shared component library (buttons, forms, modals, grids) benefit from Ember's conventions (file layout, naming) which make components discoverable and consistent across large codebases.

Example

// app/services/session.js import Service from '@ember/service'; import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking'; import { inject as service } from '@ember/service'; export default class SessionService extends Service { @service store; @tracked currentUser = null; async authenticate(credentials) { let user = await this.store.queryRecord('user', { login: credentials.username }); this.currentUser = user; } } // usage in a component import Component from '@glimmer/component'; import { inject as service } from '@ember/service'; export default class NavbarComponent extends Component { @service session; } <!-- app/templates/components/navbar.hbs --> {{#if this.session.currentUser}} Welcome, {{this.session.currentUser.name}} {{else}} <a href="/login">Log in</a> {{/if}}

Scenario

Applications that must coordinate server state, client caches, authentication, and cross-cutting behavior (notifications, feature flags, websockets). Ember Data provides adapters/serializers to map API shapes; services provide singletons for shared state (session, socket manager); the store centralizes queries, caching and relationships.
