Ember.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building web applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the basics of Ember.js and how to get started with it.
- Installation – To get started with Ember.js, you need to first install the Ember CLI. You can install the Ember CLI globally by running the following command in your terminal:
Copy codenpm install -g ember-cli
- Creating a new project – Once you have installed the Ember CLI, you can create a new Ember.js project by running the following command:
javascriptCopy codeember new my-app
- Understanding the file structure – Ember.js projects have a specific file structure that is important to understand. The main components of an Ember.js project include:
app
folder – Contains the core components of your application, including the models, controllers, and templates.public
folder – Contains static files that are served by the application.config
folder – Contains configuration files for the application, including environment-specific configurations.
- Routing – Ember.js uses a routing system to handle navigation in your application. You can define routes in the
app/router.js
file. For example, to create a route for a “about” page, you would add the following code:
javascriptCopy codeRouter.map(function() {
this.route('about');
});
- Components – Components are the building blocks of an Ember.js application. You can create a new component by running the following command:
perlCopy codeember generate component my-component
- Templates – Ember.js uses Handlebars templates to render the UI. You can create a new template by creating a new file in the
app/templates
folder. For example, to create a template for the “about” page, you would create a file namedabout.hbs
in theapp/templates
folder. - Models – Models are the data layer of your Ember.js application. You can create a new model by running the following command:
perlCopy codeember generate model my-model
These are the basics of Ember.js and how to get started with it. With regular practice and exploration, you can become a proficient Ember.js developer
