ember-angle-bracket-invocation-polyfill

This addon provides a polyfill for angle bracket invocation syntax as described in RFC 311 and RFC 457. It's the same components you know and love, no longer surrounded by mustaches. \o/

Build Status

Installation

ember install ember-angle-bracket-invocation-polyfill

You will additionally need to ensure ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompile is at least version 1.0.3.

Usage

The best usage guide are the RFCs themselves (emberjs/rfcs#311 emberjs/rfcs#457), but here are a few examples of "before"/"after" to whet your appetite:

Before:

{{site-header user=this.user class=(if this.user.isAdmin "admin")}}

{{#super-select selected=this.user.country as |s|}}
  {{#each this.availableCountries as |country|}}
    {{#s.option value=country}}{{country.name}}{{/s.option}}
  {{/each}}
{{/super-select}}

After:

<SiteHeader @user={{this.user}} class={{if this.user.isAdmin "admin"}} />

<SuperSelect @selected={{this.user.country}} as |s|>
  {{#each this.availableCountries as |country|}}
    <s.option @value={{country}}>{{country.name}}</s.option>
  {{/each}}
</SuperSelect>
