👋 Emberistas! 🐹
Find out about the Ember 3.26 release, updated release of Unstable Ember Language Server, and addon roundup.
Ember 3.26 released 🥳
Ember 3.26 release was announced on April 12, 2021. The release patched a few bug fixes in ember-source
and ember-cli
. It also introduced several deprecations in ember-source
in preparation of the upcoming Ember 4.0 release.
We encourage you to make time to address deprecated patterns in your apps and addons. The Deprecations Guide provides examples of how you might update your code.
Here are 3 quick tips for what you can do for Ember 3.26:
-
To make a route transition in a controller or route, inject the
router
service and use itstransitionTo
orreplaceWith
method. You can check the API Guides to learn more about therouter
service.For new code, using the
router
service shouldn't cause an issue. When you update existing code, however, your app may behave differently when the route transition occurs. Before any update, write tests that cover the intended behavior. When you invoke the
<LinkTo>
component with angle brackets, use named arguments to improve code readability. The arguments include@route
,@model
,@models
, and@query
.If you use Ember Data in a controller or route, inject the
store
service.

channel on Ember Discord.
Updated release of Unstable Ember Language Server ✨
A new version of Unstable Ember Language Server has been published thanks to Suchita Doshi (@suchitadoshi1987) and Alex Kanunnikov (@lifeart).
The Unstable Ember Language Server is a VSCode extension that provides VSCode users features like auto complete, goto definition and diagnostics for Ember projects. While the name contains the word “unstable,” it is very stable and is actually a fork of the original Ember Language Server project.
This recent release adds batman syntax support (namespaces) to Unstable Ember Language Server so try it out today on your VSCode!
Addon roundup 🙌
We wanted to highlight some recent happenings around the web! Check them out and give them a try! 😎
- Do you want to use OAuth in your Ember app? Sinan Keskin (@sinankeskin) wrote a new addon, ember-oauther, which allows you to sign in and register a user with OAuth easily! OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used to help a user register or log in to a web app via their login for Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.
- ember-resize-monitor provides a did-resize modifier for detecting resize events on the element or component it's attached to. These events could include window resizing CSS changes, content updates, and more. Jordan Hawker (@elwayman02) published a v0.2.0 and gave a shoutout to Tamas Sule (@xjmdoo) for improving the addon's performance by 10x!
-
ember-a11y-testing v4.0.4 is here! ember-a11y-testing is a wrapper around Deque Labs' axe-core accessibility testing engine. The addon can be integrated in your testing environment either as a one-time setup, or in individual tests using an
a11yAudit()
test helper. Raise your Lighthouse score and improve the web at the same time! Thank you to the team that made this happen, including these recent contributors: Andrew A Lee (@drewlee), Dan Wenzel (@danwenzel), Melanie Sumner (@MelSumner), Steve Calvert (@scalvert), Robert Jackson (@rwjblue), Travis Hoover (@thoov), and Steve Zelaznik (@zelaznik). - Suchita Doshi (@suchitadoshi1987) published a new experimental language server addon, els-addon-import-specifiers, that jumps to the line of an import directly, instead of the parent file. Nice!
