Compatibility & support

Compatibility

• For Ember versions >= 2.4, use the latest published version
• For Ember versions 1.13.0 through < 2.4, use ember-freestyle 0.3.0

Support

Ember Freestyle support is only provided for the 2 latest Ember versions

Installation

This installation process is opinionated in order to get you going quickly.

1. ember install ember-freestyle

   This will do the following:

   • Install the ember-freestyle addon itself
   • Add a freestyle template in your app
   • Add a freestyle controller in your app

   Note: Ember CLI versions < 0.2.3 should use ember install:addon instead of ember install

2. Add this.route('freestyle'); to your router.js file

3. Navigate to /freestyle. You should now see something like:

   

All of the generated output is optional. If you don't want a freestyle route, for example, feel free to get rid of it in and add a freestyle-guide somewhere else in your app.

You can use the freestyle-guide component anywhere you'd like in your app. You can organize your components into multiple Freestyle guides if you want to. You can even use the constituent components like freestyle-usage on their own.

Problems? No problem.

Hopefully the installation instructions got you off to a smooth, seamless start. If you have any problems, feel free to chat with us in the e-freestyle channel in the Ember Community Slack or open an issue. As always, PRs are welcome!

Removing Ember Freestyle from Your Production Payload

We recommend blacklisting Ember Freestyle for production builds using Ember CLI's addon blacklist feature.

var environment = process.env.EMBER_ENV;
var pluginsToBlacklist = environment === 'production' ? ['ember-freestyle'] : [];

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  var app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    addons: {
      blacklist: pluginsToBlacklist
    }
  };
}

Using Ember Freestyle Within an Addon

Dependency Configuration

You should include Ember Freestyle as a devDependency so that apps using your addon will not include Ember Freestyle CSS and JavaScript in their production payloads.

Code Snippets

You will need to tell the build where to search for code snippets as follows:

ember-cli-build.js

var app = new EmberAddon(defaults, {
  // ...
  freestyle: {
    snippetSearchPaths: ['addon', 'tests/dummy/app']
  }
});

• ember serve

Running Tests
