In this week's brand new Readers’ Question it's all about Embroider: What is it about and should you use it in your Ember app?
In her write-up @jessica-jordan will give a high-level overview of the motivation for the project, its benefits and where to learn more about it. Read the full answer on the offical Ember forum.
Wondering about something related to Ember, Ember Data, Glimmer, or addons in the Ember ecosystem, but don't know where to ask? Readers’ Questions are just for you!
Submit your own short and sweet question under bit.ly/ask-ember-core. And don’t worry, there are no silly questions, we appreciate them all - promise! 🤞
@ef4 has opened the first Embroider RFC to discuss the v2 spec of Ember packages. Please note, there will be additional RFCs to address what addons can currently do in v1.
@jgwhite started a quest issue to track the outstanding work required to have full Prettier support for Ember templates.
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that ensures that all outputted code conforms to a consistent style in order to avoid bikeshedding about styling rules or nit picks. It does this by parsing your code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and reprinting it from scratch disregarding all original styling. Today, Prettier already works for JavaScript including ES2017 so this work revolves around supporting Ember templates.
