Learn EMBER-JS with Real Code Examples

Ember provides a highly opinionated architecture for scalable web apps.

It offers built-in routing, data layer, and CLI tooling out of the box.

Ember focuses on productivity with conventions that eliminate boilerplate and decision fatigue.

Route-driven architecture

Components with Glimmer syntax

Services for shared logic

Ember Data for models and relationships

Computed properties and tracked state

Routes and templates

Glimmer components

Tracked properties

Services for cross-app logic

Models and Ember Data relationships

app/routes - route handlers

app/templates - templates for routes

app/components - UI components

app/models - data structures

config/environment.js - environment config

Generate files using Ember CLI blueprints

Use routes to structure UI and data flow

Create reusable components

Manage state using Ember Data

Run and test with built-in commands
