It can be attached in either a plain HTML element or an Ember component. + +```hbs + +``` + +The `{{on}}` modifier accepts two arguments: the event name and the function handler. The **event name** is actually the same argument that the vanilla JS API `element.addEventListener(eventName)` accepts. And the **function handler** is any action, meaning any properly bound function. It can either live on the component instance or be passed in as an argument. + +```hbs + + {{! additional HTML }} + +``` + +Check out the full video explaining the `{{on}}` modifier on [EmberMap](https://embermap.com/topics/what-s-new-in-ember/the-on-modifier-3-11)! + +--- + +## [Mut and set autotracking in Octane πŸ“–](https://v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/mut-and-set-and-auto-tracking-in-ember-octane/) + +There's a new blog post πŸŽ‰ by [Chris Krycho (@chriskrycho)](https://github.com/chriskrycho) about some behavior that may surprise you involving auto-tracking when using `mut` or the `set` helper, and how they can differ from the use of actions in Ember Octane. + +Read more about this at [Chris' blog](https://v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/mut-and-set-and-auto-tracking-in-ember-octane/).

Check out his tips and tricks in the writeup [here](https://abhilashlr.in/ember-performance-tweaks-part-1). Highlights include: + +* Speeding up development + * Removing tests from the dev build + * Removing Mirage from the dev build + * Minification, gzip or brotli compression, and fingerprinting +* Asset size + * Analyze bundle size and optimize asset size + * Removing dependencies not needed on app boot + +> The smaller the page assets, the faster it is for the user to view them. The faster it is for the user to view the page with text and UI, the greater trust they have on our apps/websites. + +But wait, there's more! In Abhilash's [second part of the performance blog post series](https://abhilashlr.in/ember-performance-tweaks-part-2) it's all about **optimizing assets** for that perfect Lighthouse score. It teaches you how to reduce the number of requests for application assets to the absolute minimum, optimize your images efficiently and many other modern best practices related to asset handling. + +If you want to make your own app load with the speed of light, be sure to [check out the writeup today](https://abhilashlr.in/ember-performance-tweaks-part-2)! + +--- + +## [Learn about JavaScript invoked helpers with the invokeHelper RFC ✨](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/626) + +Never seen a helper spawn from a JavaScript file before?
