ember-lifecycle-component

For situations where you don't need a template.

• WebGL Integration
• Other DOM-less situations

The LifeCycleComponent has the same interface as @glimmer/component, but with some additional hooks.

Generally, you do not need this. Nearly all side-effecting code can be represented as computed/tracked properties and regular getters while causing changes via the functions that would have started the side-effect anyway.

All the hooks available for use are:

• constructor(owner, args)
• didReceiveArgs(prev, next)
• didUpdate()
• willDestroy()

Installation

ember install ember-lifecycle-component

Usage

More examples here, in the tests

import { LifeCycleComponent } from 'ember-lifecycle-component';

import THREE from 'three';

let geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry( 2, 2, 2 );
let material = new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial();

export default class SceneBoxComponent extends LifeCycleComponent {
  constructor(owner, args) {
    super(owner, args);

    this.mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);

    let { rx, ry, rz } = this.args;

    this.#updateRotation(rx, ry, rz);
    this.mesh.position.set(0, 0, 0);

    args.scene.add(this.mesh);
  }

  didUpdate() {
    let { rx, ry, rz } = this.args;
    this.#updateRotation({ rx, ry, rz });
  }

  willDestroy() {
    this.args.scene.remove(this.mesh);
  }

  #updateRotation({ rx, ry, rz }) {
    this.mesh.rotation.set(rx, ry, rz);
  }
}
