Week 4 - the start of the addon audit

This has been a tough week, in the sense that I see a lot of work coming! As usual, I’ll keep this weekly log short and focus only on a few noticeable points.

Week 3 - supporting @embroider/webpack

At the end of this third week, ember-vite-codemod brings Vite to your Ember app formerly building with @embroider/webpack, and this case is tested by the CI, which is the important part.

Week 2 - releasing the codemod

#web #emberjs #codemod #docs #embroider #vite #vitest

At the end of this second week, we have the first release of ember-vite-codemod! It can make Ember >=5.12 apps building with Vite. Aside from all the AST manipulations, I had the opportunity to have a clearer vision of where we are going with this.

Week 1 - the codemod

Ember’s power is step-by-step improvement. As the framework evolves, the community won’t leave you behind: it will provide you with everything you need to update your app and adopt modern practices at your own pace (Trust me on this; the first version I used was a 2.x, and I did all the way to 4.x). My job now is to help you migrate your classic Ember app to build with Vite. This is the first step of my journey: the codemod to help developers migrate from classic apps to Vite apps.

My journey as a developer working on the Ember Initiative.

Web technologies move fast. Do you imagine using a 13-year-old JS framework in production? It is possible, and it is actually a good choice when it comes to using the amazing irreplaceable Ember JS. Ember is that old, yet it’s still around because it’s the most living framework of all. It grows up with you; it evolves with you; it becomes a better framework year after year as you become a better developer.

In this blog post, we will (re)learn backend basics by building a minimalist web server that displays the content of a minimalist database in the browser using NodeJS, KnexJS, and SQLite3.
