ember-embedded-snippet
Embed your Ember app as a WebComponent into external pages with a simple JavaScript snippet.
Compatibility
- Ember.js v3.16 or above
- Ember CLI v3.20 or above
- Node.js v12 or above
Installation
ember install ember-embedded-snippetTo allow compatibility with ember-auto-import v2 and Embroider, since v0.7.0 the addon requires some manual
setup to postprocess Ember's build.
In your ember-cli-build.js change the last part:
module.exports = function (defaults) {
let app = new EmberAddon(defaults, {
// ...
});
- return app.toTree();
+ return require('ember-embedded-snippet').process(app, app.toTree());
}Then you should also add the custom element invocation to your app/index.html, so when running locally using ember serve
the app is bootstrapped the same way as when it is embedded in production. See also the "Usage" below!
<body>
{{content-for "body"}}
+ <my-app-name></my-app-name>
<script src="{{rootURL}}assets/vendor.js"></script>
<script src="{{rootURL}}assets/<%= name %>.js"></script>
{{content-for "body-footer"}}
</body>Note: doing this also for
tests/index.htmlwill not work, you should keep that file as-is. That means tests use the default bootstrapping process of Ember.
Usage
Add a snippet like this to your static or server rendered HTML page:
<script src="https://www.your-deployed-ember-app.com/embed.js"></script>
<my-app-name></my-app-name>my-app-name is the name of your app. As custom elements require to contain a dash, if your app name is a single word, append the -app suffix.
Shadow DOM
To prevent styles leaking from the parent page into your app or vice versa, you can enable shadow DOM support:
<my-app-name shadow></my-app-name>Note that even with shadow DOM, inherited styles will also be inherited by your shadow DOM, thus leak into your app. So you might want to reset inheritable styles
Custom arguments
Any other attributes added to the custom element are taken as custom arguments, that you can read from the embedded service's args property:
<my-app-name foo="bar" enable-foo></my-app-name>import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
export default class FooController extends Controller {
@service
embedded;
get foo() {
return this.embedded.args.hasOwnProperty('enable-foo') ? this.embedded.args.foo : null;
}
