Tools for building playgrounds and repls with and for ember. Useful for interactive styleguides, too

Overview

The ember-repl package has transitioned to a new home, emphasizing its functionality in creating a robust Ember Playground and Interactive Style Guide for design systems. This tool is designed to streamline the implementation process for developers, ensuring that they can iterate quickly without compromising on performance. With dependencies tailored for Ember and Glimmer, along with the integration of @babel/standalone, this package enhances your development experience significantly.

Leveraging features such as automatic bundle splitting and strict mode compatibility, ember-repl is aimed at optimizing time-to-interactive metrics, making it an essential utility for developers using Ember.js. With strict mode requiring all globals to be imported and facilitating advanced error handling, it promises a more structured coding environment that ultimately leads to improved applications.

Features

  • Strict Mode Compatibility: Enforces the use of strict mode for component imports, enhancing code reliability and preventing unintended global access.
  • Automatic Bundle Splitting: Optimizes initial load times by automatically splitting application bundles, improving user experience with faster interactivity.
  • Support for Latest Technologies: Compatible with Ember.js v3.27+, Ember CLI v3.27+, Webpack v5+, and Node.js v14+, ensuring you are using modern development practices.
  • Component Invocation: Promotes clean code by requiring components to be passed to the scope option, which enhances modularity and reusability.
  • Error Handling Mechanism: Provides built-in functionalities to handle compilation errors gracefully, maintaining a smooth development workflow.
  • Future-Ready Architecture: Plans to transition to web-worker support with import maps for even faster, security-focused REPL interaction as browser capabilities expand.
  • API Methods: Offers essential methods like compileJS and compileHBS to compile JavaScript and template-only components efficiently, ensuring seamless integration into your app.
  • Configuration Flexibility: Allows users to customize their build output through the buildComponentMap function, particularly for those using the Embroider packager with maximum strictness enabled.
ember
Ember

Ember.js is a productive, battle-tested JavaScript framework for building modern web applications. It includes everything you need to build rich UIs that work on any device.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.

webpack
Webpack

Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
