ember-cli

What is ember-cli?

Ember CLI is the command line interface for managing and developing Ember.js applications. It provides a robust set of tools for scaffolding, building, testing, and deploying Ember.js applications.

What are ember-cli's main functionalities?

Project Creation

This command creates a new Ember.js application with the name 'my-app'. It sets up the project structure, installs dependencies, and configures the build system.

ember new my-app

Generating Blueprints

This command generates a new component called 'my-component'. Blueprints are templates for generating various parts of an Ember.js application, such as components, routes, and services.

ember generate component my-component

Running the Development Server

This command starts a local development server, allowing you to preview your application in the browser. It also watches for file changes and automatically reloads the application.

ember serve

Building the Application

This command builds the Ember.js application for production. It optimizes the assets and outputs them to the 'dist' directory, ready for deployment.

ember build --environment production

Running Tests

This command runs the application's test suite. Ember CLI supports both unit and integration tests, and it can be configured to run tests in different environments.

ember test
