Hooked Components

Overview:

The hooks-component addon bridges the gap between React's hooks API and Ember.js applications, allowing developers to leverage the popular React-style programming model within the Ember ecosystem. This innovative approach introduces both React and Ember-style hooks, enabling users to create components that feel more modern and efficient. With the capability of utilizing familiar patterns, developers can enhance their productivity while maintaining Ember's powerful features.

This addon not only simplifies the state management and lifecycle methods of components but also retains the unique benefits that Ember offers. By offering a dual approach to hooks, it provides flexibility depending on the developer's preference or use case, making it a valuable tool for both seasoned Ember developers and those transitioning from React.

Features:

• React Way Hooks Implementation: Allows components to utilize a React-style hooks API, executing the component function on every re-render for dynamic updates.

• Ember Way Hooks: Offers an Ember-style hooks API that calls component functions only on the first render, optimizing performance with effects tracked only when properties change.

• Built-in Hooks Support: Includes essential hooks like useEffect, useState, and useLayoutEffect, mirroring the functionality found in React, making it easier for developers to adopt.

• Service and Controller Lookup: Convenient hooks such as getService and getController enable seamless access to services and controllers, simplifying dependency injection in components.

• Custom Hook Creation: Facilitates the development of custom hooks through methods like getContextId and getRerender, empowering developers to encapsulate logic and state management easily.

• Efficient Update Handling: The useEffect methodology patch updates without re-invoking effects, enhancing reactiveness while maintaining performance.

• Comprehensive Testing Support: Equipped with robust testing commands, it ensures components are reliable and maintain high quality across different Ember versions.

• MIT License: The hooks-component addon is open-source and freely available, encouraging community collaboration and contributions.
