ember-template-modifier-import

forked from https://github.com/crashco/ember-template-component-import and changed to allow modifier imports This is to be used alongside https://github.com/crashco/ember-template-component-import

This addon allows you to use import-style syntax to create local bindings to a modifier within a template file.

• More concise modifier invocation while making it explicit where it comes from
• No hyphens needed!
• Relative imports!

Installation

ember install ember-template-modifier-import

Usage

Use the same kind of import syntax you are familiar with from Javascript:

{{import mymodifier from 'ui/modifier'}}

{{mymodifier 'a'}}

{{import modifier as asmodifier from "ui/modifiers" }}
{{import a as amodifier from "ui/modifiers" }}
{{import "* as modifiers" from "u/modifiersi" }}
{{import "a, b" from "ui/modifiers" }}
{{import "a as x, b as y" from "ui/modifiers" }}
{{import "a as z, modifier" from "ui/modifiers" }}

The modifier is looked up from the given string using a direct lookup pattern.

Motivation

ember-template-component-import already gives us import for components, but I really miss the modifier imports. So I went ahead and added this functionality :)

But what about Module Unification?

Once Module Unification lands fully, this addon will be largely obsolete. MU provides all these benefits and more.

So on the one hand, your templates will start to look something kinda like MU a little sooner, which is nice.

But be warned - any official tooling to codemod templates into a new MU world likely won't support this addon. So weigh the pros and cons carefully before widely adopting this addon.
