Intro to Ember.js and Ember-CLI - ThunderPlainsConf 2015

This talk was on Ember.js and Ember-CLi and what I like about the framework as a developer and what i like about it as a designer.

Transcript

1. Ember.js & Ember-CLI Iheanyi Ekechukwu @kwuchu IBM Watson Life http://iheanyi.com
2. What is Ember?
3. A framework for creating ambitious web applications.
4. Why Ember?
5. As a Designer
6. I can make ambitious UIs. Like, really ambitious.
9. Let's see another "ambitious" UI
11. How is this possible?
13. Just kidding. Ember's Router and Nested Routes = <3 Data, URLs, UI, and State are all in sync.
14. import Ember from 'ember'; import config from './config/environment'; var Router = Ember.Router.extend({ location: config.locationType }); export default Router.map(function() { this.route('contacts', function() { this.route('show', {path: '/:id'}); }); });
15. URL:t URL: /contacts/1
16. Animations help take your UI to the next level.
17. Liquid Fire (https://github.com/ef4/liquid- fire)
18. Gif of Barbr here.
19. Wow, that must've been really complicated.
20. ember install liquid-fire
21. {{liquid-outlet}} # previously {{outlet}} <nav class="navbar navbar-default"> <div class="container"> <div class="navbar-header"> {{#link-to 'index' class="navbar-brand"}} Barber Application {{/link-to}} </div> <ul class="nav navbar-nav"> <li>{{link-to 'Barbershops' 'barbershops'}}</li> </ul> <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> {{#if this.currentUser}} <li><p class="navbar-text">Signed in as {{currentUser.username}}</p></li> <li><a class="logout-link" {{action 'logout'}}>Logout</a></li> {{else}} <li>{{link-to "Login" 'login'}}</li> <li>{{link-to 'Register' 'users.new'}}</li> {{/if}} </ul> </div> </nav>
22. export default function() { this.transition( this.fromRoute('index'), this.use('toLeft'), this.reverse('toRight') ); this.transition( this.fromRoute('barbershops'), this.use('toLeft'), this.reverse('toRight') ); }
24. As a Developer
25. Convention over Configuration.
26. HTMLBars for Templating
27. Simple Template Action Handling by Components, Controllers, and Routes
29. <a href="#" class="btn btn-custom btn-social btn-md btn-facebook" {{action 'signIn'}}> <i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Sign In With Facebook </a> {{/if}} {{#if session.isAuthenticated}} <a href="#" class="btn btn-custom btn-social btn-md btn-facebook" {{action 'invalidateSession'}}> <i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Logout </a> {{else}}
30. import Ember from 'ember'; import LoginControllerMixin from 'simple-auth/mixins/login-controller-mixin'; export default Ember.Controller.extend(LoginControllerMixin, { authenticator: 'simple-auth-authenticator:torii', actions: { signIn: function() { var controller = this.controllerFor('index'); var session = this.get('session'); session.authenticate('simple-auth-authenticator:torii', 'facebook- connect').then(function() { controller.transitionToRoute('likes'); }); } });
32. Ember-Data
33. Let's see a quick example/overview.
34. ember generate adapter application create app/adapters/application create tests/unit/adapters/application-test.js
35. import DS from 'ember-data'; export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({ namespace: 'api' });
36. ember generate model contact firstName:string lastName:string \ email:string avatar:string description:string create app/models/contact.js create tests/unit/models/contacts-test.js
37. // app/models/contact.js import DS from 'ember-data'; export default DS.Model.extend({ firstName: DS.attr('string'), lastName: DS.attr('string'), avatar: DS.attr('string'), email: DS.attr('string'), description: DS.attr('string') });
38. ember generate route contacts create app/routes/contacts.js create tests/unit/routes/contacts-test.js
39. // app/routes/contacts.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Route.extend({ });
40. // app/routes/contacts.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Route.extend({ model() { return this.store.findAll('contact'); } });
41. this.store.findAll('contact');
42. this.store.findRecord('contact', params.id);
43. this.store.createRecord('contact', data);
44. this.store.query('contact', query);
45. this.store.findRecord('contact', params.id).then(function(contact) { contact.set('firstName', 'Iheanyi'); contact.save(); }); }
46. contact.deleteRecord();
47. contact.destroyRecord();
48. Computed Properties
49. // app/models/contact.js import DS from 'ember-data'; export default DS.Model.extend({ firstName: DS.attr('string'), lastName: DS.attr('string'), avatar: DS.attr('string'), email: DS.attr('string'), description: DS.attr('string'), fullName: Ember.computed('firstName', 'lastName', function(key, value) { return `${this.get('firstName')} ${this.get('lastName')}`; }) });
50. this.store.createRecord('contact', {firstName: "Iheanyi", lastName: "Ekechukwu"}).then(function(contact) { contact.get('fullName'); // Iheanyi Ekechukwu });
51. import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Controller.extend({ sortProperties: ['fullName'], sortedContacts: Ember.computed.sort('model', 'sortProperties') });
52. Bound Attributes
53. <p>E-Mail: <a href="mailto:{{model.email}}">{{model.email}}</a></p>
54. Components for Reusability
55. ember generate component contact-card create app/components/contact-card.js create app/templates/components/contact-card.hbs installing component-test create tests/integration/components/contact-card-test.js
56. <div class="contact-card"> <h5>{{contact.fullName}}</h5> <p>{{contact.description}}</p> </div> {{yield}}
57. {{contact-card contact=model}}
58. Community
59. Community
60. Ember Community Slack Channel (https://ember-community- slackin.herokuapp.com/)
61. Tooling
62. Ember-Inspector (https://github.com/ emberjs/ember-inspector)
65. Let's talk more about Ember- CLI (www.ember-cli.com)
66. What's the hype around Ember-CLI?
67. ES6
69. But Iheanyi, what about third party libraries or preprocessors?
70. bower install bootstrap --save
71. // ember-cli-build.js var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app'); module.exports = function(defaults) { var app = new EmberApp(defaults, { // Add options here }); app.import('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'); return app.toTree(); };
72. Cool! What about for JavaScript libraries?
73. bower install moment --save
74. // ember-cli-build.js var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app'); module.exports = function(defaults) { var app = new EmberApp(defaults, { // Add options here }); ... app.import('bower_components/moment/moment.js'); return app.toTree(); };
75. And preprocessors?
76. ember install ember-cli-sass mv app/styles/app.css app/styles/app.scss
78. RemEMBER those conventions?
79. Generators
80. ember generate [options] <type> <name> [properties]
81. acceptance-test adapter adapter-test addon addon-import app blueprint component component-addon component-test controller controller-test helper helper-test http-mock http-proxy in-repo-addon initializer initializer-test lib mixin mixin-test model model-test resource route route-test serializer serializer-test server service service-test template test-helper transform transform-test util util-test view view-test
82. Addons
83. Ember Observer (http://emberobserver.com/)
85. There's an addon for almost everything.
86. User Authentication?
88. Mock Data/API Services?
90. // app/mirage/factories/contact.js import Mirage, {faker} from 'ember-cli-mirage'; export default Mirage.Factory.extend({ firstName: faker.name.firstName, lastName: faker.name.lastName, email: faker.internet.email, avatar: faker.internet.avatar, description: faker.lorem.paragraphs(4) });
91. // app/mirage/config.js export default function() { this.namespace = '/api'; this.get('/contacts', function(db, request) { return {contacts: db.contacts}; }); this.get('/contacts/:id', function(db, request) { return {contacts: db.contacts.find(request.params.id)}; }); }
92. // app/mirage/scenarios/default.js export default function( server ) { // Seed your development database using your factories. This // data will not be loaded in your tests. server.createList('contact', 10); }
93. // app/routes/contacts.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Route.extend({ model() { return this.store.findAll('contact'); } });
94. <div class="container"> <h1>Contacts Route</h1> <div class="contacts__sidebar"> <ul class="contacts__list"> {{#each sortedContacts as |contact|}} <li class="contacts__list__item"> {{#link-to 'contacts.show' contact.id}} <div class="contacts-list-item-detail"> <img class="contact__sidebar__picture" src={{contact.avatar}}> <span class="contact__sidebar__name">{{contact.fullName}}</span> </div> {{/link-to}} </li> {{/each}} </ul> </div> <div class="contacts__detail"> {{outlet}} </div> </div>
96. Testing
97. QUnit
98. ember generate acceptance-test list-contacts
99. import Ember from 'ember'; import { module, test } from 'qunit'; import startApp from 'front-porch-demo/tests/helpers/start-app'; var application; module('Acceptance: ListContacts', { beforeEach: function() { application = startApp(); }, afterEach: function() { Ember.run(application, 'destroy'); } }); test('visiting /contacts should list 10 contacts', function(assert) { server.createList('contact', 10); // Thanks Mirage! visit('/contacts'); andThen(function() { assert.equal(find('.contacts__list__item').length, 10); }); });
101. Like Mocha? No problem.
102. ember install ember-cli-mocha
103. /* jshint expr:true */ import { describe, it, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'mocha'; import { expect } from 'chai'; import Ember from 'ember'; import startApp from '../helpers/start-app'; describe('Acceptance: ListContacts', function() { var application; beforeEach(function() { application = startApp(); }); afterEach(function() { Ember.run(application, 'destroy'); }); it('can visit /contacts and see 10 contacts', function() { server.createList('contact', 10); visit('/contacts'); andThen(function() { expect(currentPath()).to.equal('contacts.index'); expect(find('.contacts__list__item').length).to.equal(10); }); }); });
105. Just wanna test from the CLI? Ember-CLI has your back.
106. ember test
107. ember test ... 1..32 # tests 32 # pass 24 # fail 8
108. ember test --server
109. Deploying
111. Adapters for Azure, Redis, and S3
112. npm install ember-cli-deploy --save-dev
113. ember deploy --environment production
114. Firebase
116. npm install -g firebase-tools
117. firebase init
118. firebase deploy
119. Trying to deploy to Heroku or IBM Bluemix?
120. There's a buildpack for that. (https://github.com/tonycoco/ heroku-buildpack-ember-cli)
121. heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/tonycoco/heroku-buildpack-ember-cli.git
122. cf push ember_contacts_demo -b \ https://github.com/tonycoco/heroku-buildpack-ember-cli.git
123. All of these deployment methods run the Ember Build command prior to deployment.
124. Getting started with Ember-CLI is easy enough.
125. npm install -g ember-cli
126. ember new ember-demo-project
127. Now you're ready to dive in.
