The Ember Times No. 166 - October 23rd 2020

[amyrlam]

👻 New to The Ember Times? If you want to claim a topic to write about, please comment here on the PR or chat with us in #support-ember-times on the Ember Discord! 👻

🎃 Note: We will set up an issue for 2021 on master and have folks commit PR's directly to master, so that October PR's will count toward Hacktoberfest! (We can then copy over that content here, closer to merge, and clean up things in the repo.) 🎃

(We will rename the file from #794 to the correct year for publishing!)

Readers' Questions

• add something about readers questions, sometimes need more info, pop into our discord channel (:lock: @amyrlam)

What would you use to build a embeddable JS widget today?

• When could we expect Embroider to be part of Ember-cli and start using it for production apps? (Amy from speaking with locks update: maybe will reach out to person directly. We do not have a RFC for using Embroider in apps, much less an estimate. Let's message direct with Times 161 writeup: [META] Embroider Readiness emberjs/ember.js#19099.) (:lock: @amyrlam unfort we don't have the person's contact info. i added it to the form)
• ember-data-model-fragments - Does its release schedule depend on LTS release of Ember Data? (Amy from speaking with locks update: maybe will reach out to person directly and explain it's not an Ember core addon.) (:lock: @amyrlam messaged on discord, hopefully the right person. will adjust the form to ask for discord or email)
• A request for visual models (class diagram and activity diagram) for Ember Data (Amy from speaking with locks update: runspired did this for his EmberFest talk, let's connect him with the submitter) (:lock: @amyrlam messaged on discord)
