In other news, the Guides have received a good amount of updates this week, with an update to the hbs helper part of the tutorial here, improved code example line descriptions here and there, as well as further updates to the section on Routes and Templates, Ember CLI and the Addon Installation. Some more typos and inconsistencies have been fixed here,here and there, the spacing in the documentation for computed properties is looking even better and the Docker config for the Guides has been updated here.
With the release of Ember v2.16, the new recommended way to import application modules is the JavaScript modules APIas developed through the original RFC. In this regard, we’d not only like to highlight this excellent codemodthat you can use to migrate your own Ember apps over to the new Module imports syntax today, but also this very handy cheat sheeton the RFC-176-data repository, listing all the @ember modules you'd need in your applications and code examples on how to import them. Be sure to check it out and share it with your Ember colleagues & friends! 🐹
This week the first changes for allowing Glimmer’s API to pass down arguments to top-level componentshas landed. This now allows the public renderComponent API to take on these top-level args as parameters.
Also, an important partials bug fix affecting Glimmer applications and Ember applications from v2.15 onwards has landed this week, lifting an issue with contexts not being passed down to partials which are nested down further than one level. In this "context" ( 🤓 ), further improvements and changes to the original PR landed here and also there. Several fixes to Glimmer interfaces landed this week, too.
Last year, 20+ speakers and workshop leaders presented at EmberConf 2017. Will you be on stage for 2018? Whether you think of yourself as “new to Ember” or as an expert, a team of people are ready to support you as you draft a proposal, prepare a presentation, and practice. The Call for Proposals is open from now until November 21st. If you have something you would like to talk about at EmberConf 2018, please submit your ideas here.
“Take chances. Make mistakes. Get messy.”- Ms. Frizzle
Feel free to submit several ideas or proposals that you haven’t polished to perfection yet, early on in the CfP process. The friendly EmberConf Program Committee will give you valuable feedback for improving your submission further. Also, if you have any questions beforehand, be sure to check out the dedicated #conf-emberconf channel on the Ember Community Slack Chat. EmberConf also has a mentorship program for women interested in speaking. Drop by #women-in-ember on Slack for more details.
A huge thank you to @wifelette and her support team organizing the CfP and the conference itself!
This week brings two new patch versions of the 2.16 release to the community, including an important bug fix for deeply nested partials and others which you can read more about in the Changelogs for 2.16.1 and 2.16.2.
To make this week’s contribution work to Ember resources even more“partially” focused, a new RFC opened up which aims to make the context available to partials more predictable. You can read more about the motivation in the description of the RFC itself. This RFC is also accompanied by further improvements here, here and also here.
Finally, several dependencies have been cleaned up here and there in different Ember packages.
