@glimmer/interfaces

What is @glimmer/interfaces?

@glimmer/interfaces is a TypeScript package that provides type definitions and interfaces for the Glimmer VM, which is a rendering engine used in Ember.js and other frameworks. It helps in defining the structure and types of various components, templates, and other elements used in Glimmer applications.

What are @glimmer/interfaces's main functionalities?

Component Interface

Defines the structure of a basic component with an id and a render method.

interface Component { id: string; render(): void; }

Template Interface

Defines the structure of a template with a compile method that returns a string.

interface Template { compile(): string; }

Environment Interface

Defines the structure of an environment with a method to get a property from an object.

interface Environment { getProperty(obj: object, key: string): any; }

Other packages similar to @glimmer/interfaces

typescript

TypeScript is a language that builds on JavaScript by adding static type definitions. It is used to define types and interfaces, similar to @glimmer/interfaces, but is more general-purpose and not specific to the Glimmer VM.

prop-types

PropTypes is a library for type-checking props in React components. While it is used for a similar purpose of defining and checking types, it is specific to React and does not provide the same level of integration with the Glimmer VM.

io-ts

io-ts is a runtime type system for IO decoding/encoding in TypeScript. It provides a way to define and validate types at runtime, which can be used in a similar way to @glimmer/interfaces for ensuring type safety.
