Adopted Ember Addons has adopted ember-sortable, an addon which provides Sortable UI primitives for Ember. The addon was created by Jamie White (@jgwhite) over four years ago and he has been maintaining it all this time! The time has come however for the addon to get some new love ❤ under the Adopted Ember Addons umbrella.
The goal of Adopted Ember Addons is to give Ember addons a place to stay maintained when the original maintainer decides that they would like to pass the mantle. The program guidelines explain how the program works.
Maintaining these addons takes work by real people. The program is always on the lookout for helpful people to contribute and help maintain these addons. Ember wouldn't be where it is today without the amazing addon ecosystem. If you would like to help out in maintaining these addons, please come join us on Discord in #adopted-ember-addons. ❤
Last week, the Ember community went on an extraordinary trip into the metropolitan wilderness of Illinois: EmberCamp 2019 took place in Chicago on September 16th and was insightful, exciting and entertaining as always!
With twelve, versed speakers, the schedule offered thoughtful insights into:
Missed out on the conference, but still want to catch up before the recordings are out? Be sure to check out Jordan Hawker's (@elwayman02) comprehensive EmberCamp summary, including talk notes and slides for the entire programme.
Can't wait to make it to the camping trip next year? Be sure to let the EmberCamp team know on Twitter or via old-school e-mail!
Now the Octane Guides have documentation on how to use the new conventional APIs for creating and adding event handlers and actions to your components and templates:
The @action decorator
The {{ opening_double_curly() }}on{{ closing_double_curly() }} modifier
The {{ opening_double_curly() }}fn{{ closing_double_curly() }} helper
This documentation change provides much needed information on the benefits and how to get used to using these new APIs.
Ember SVG Jar, an addon that lets you easily add SVG images, now features the Assets Viewer. Think of Assets Viewer as a hub where you can meet all SVG images available in your project. You can search for the image that you need and copy the helper code to render that image in your app.
