What's up Emberistas! 🐹

This week you can read about the Component Templates Co-location RFC 🖇️, the story behind ember-model-select 📔, the launch of ember-intl-analyzer 🚀, and EmberFest 2019 announced 🇩🇰!

@chancancode opened an RFC around placing the component’s class and template in the same directory on the file system. The proposed change is to move the templates from being located at app/templates/components into the app/components directory, co-locating it with the component’s JavaScript file.

This change provides component class/template coupling, a single source of truth for components, resolves deviations from route template conventions, and the lack of a single import. If you'd like to learn more, please take a look at RFC #481. Read, comment, and spread the word about it! 🖊️

Often, inspiration for a new idea comes from combining the best of existing ideas.

For his first blog post, @nickschot shared how he was inspired to create the addon ember-model-select. 🎉

We can use ember-model-select to create a select dropdown that lets users (1) search for a model in Ember Data and (2) see an unlimited amount of data. @nickschot combined three popular addons to solve this problem: ember-power-select, ember-concurrency, and ember-infinity.

To learn more about @nickschot's motivation and solution behind ember-model-select, please check out his blog post. 🙏

ember-intl-analyzer is the newest addition to our i18n toolset, thanks to collaboration between Simplabs and Qonto.

This CLI tool can find unused translations in your component files. Soon, it will be able to find broken and missing translations too!

Try ember-intl-analyzer on your app today. 💛
