#952 1551b33
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Introduce resources as modifiers.
This brings alignment with Starbeam's plans for modifiers as a universal primitive.
In ember-resources, using modifiers as resources looks like this:
import { resource } from 'ember-resources';
import { modifier } from 'ember-resources/modifier';
const wiggle = modifier((element, arg1, arg2, namedArgs) => {
return resource(({ on }) => {
let animation = element.animate([
{ transform: `translateX(${arg1}px)` },
{ transform: `translateX(-${arg2}px)` },
], {
duration: 100,
iterations: Infinity,
});
on.cleanup(() => animation.cancel());
});
});
<template>
<div {{wiggle 2 5 named="hello"}}>hello</div>
</template>
The signature for the modifier here is different from ember-modifier
, where positional args and named args are grouped together into an array and object respectively.
This signature for ember-resource's modifier
follows the plain function invocation signature.
import { resource } from '@starbeam/universal';
function wiggle(element, arg1, arg2, namedArgs) {
return resource(({ on }) => {
let animation = element.animate([
{ transform: `translateX(${arg1}px)` },
{ transform: `translateX(-${arg2}px)` },
], {
duration: 100,
iterations: Infinity,
});
on.cleanup(() => animation.cancel());
});
}
<template>
<div {{wiggle 2 5 named="hello"}}>hello</div>
</template>

#941 bfc432b
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Fix an issue with a new (not yet used feature) where Resources could directly return a Cell
, and it would have its .current
method automatically called when resolving the value of a Resource.
import { resource, cell } from 'ember-resources';
export const Now = resource(({ on }) => {
const now = cell(Date.now());
const timer = setInterval(() => now.set(Date.now()));
on.cleanup(() => clearInterval(timer));
return now;
});
<template>
It is: <time>{{Now}}</time>

#936 6246a3c
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - The use
import from ember-resources
now supports an alternate style of usage.
This is partly to provide consistency across the different kinds of resources (and resource builders), whether or not arguments are provided.
The motivation from this change comes from trying to better align with Starbeam's composition capabilities, and "define something once, use it anywhere" approach to that composition.
For example, before, only this was possible:
import { resource, use } from "ember-resources";
const StuckClock = resource(() => 2);
class MyClass {
@use data = StuckClock;
}
new MyClass().data === 2;
That looks a little awkward, because it looks like data
is set to a constant.
In TypeScript
, this still worked out, and the type of data
would be a number
,
but it still didn't look intuitive.
Now, we can do this:
import { resource, use } from "ember-resources";
const StuckClock = resource(() => 2);
class MyClass {
data = use(this, StuckClock);
}
new MyClass().data.current === 2;
The key difference here is that data
is now a Reactive<number>
, which, like a cell
, has a .current
property.
This is a readonly value -- however current
can still return a mutable data structure.
This style of use
ends up extending nicely to Resources that take arguments:
import { tracked } from "@glimmer/tracking";
import { resource, use, resourceFactory } from "ember-resources";
const Clock = resourceFactory((locale) => resource(/* ... */));
class MyClass {
@tracked locale = "en-US";
data = use(
this,
Clock(() => this.locale),
);
}
<details><summary>Another approach</summary>Note <br> The old way of using
@use
as a decorator is still supported, and has no plans of being deprecated.
I can't recommend this approach for general usage, but it is supported under SemVer (for exploration and feedback).
import { resource, use } from "ember-resources";
const StuckClock = resource(() => 2);
class MyClass {
@use(StuckClock) declare data: number;
}
new MyClass().data === 2;
This should feel familiar as it looks like what we're familiar with when it comes to declaring @tracked
properties as well as @service
s.
However, this has the same problems as @service
-- in TypeScript, it requires you to use declare
and specify a type, which may or may not match the actual type of StuckClock
.
Additionally, whenever we want to pass arguments to the resource, like this:
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
import { resource, use } from 'ember-resources';
const Clock = resourceFactory((locale) => resource( /* ... */);
class MyClass {
@tracked locale = 'en-US';
@use(Clock(() => this.locale) declare data: number;
}
The arrow function passed to Clock
would not have the correct this.
This is confusing, because in every other situation where we use classes,
the arrow function has the same context as the instance of the class.
But due to how decorators are configured / transpiled, the this
is actually the surrounding context around MyClass
, because decorators are statically applied.
class MyClass {
@tracked locale = 'en-US';
@use(Clock( static context here, not instance ) declare data: number;
}
So... that's why I want to recommend property = use(this, Foo)
by default.
class MyClass {
@tracked locale = 'en-US';
data = use(this, (Clock( instance access ));
}

#925 e320cf8
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Fix situation where, when composing with blueprint/factory-creted Resources, the owner was not passed to the tused
d resource.
const Now = resourceFactory((ms = 1000) =>
resource(({ on }) => {
let now = cell(nowDate);
let timer = setInterval(() => now.set(Date.now()), ms);
on.cleanup(() => clearInterval(timer));
return () => now.current;
})
);
const Stopwatch = resourceFactory((ms = 500) =>
resource(({ use }) => {
let time = use(Now(ms));
return () => format(time);
})
);
await render(<template><time>{{Stopwatch 250}}</time></template>);
The owner is part of the hooks API for resource
and an error is thrown when it is undefined - regardless if used.
const Demo = resource(({ on, use, owner }) => {
// ...
});

#866 e1e4f66
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Add the ability to compose function resources.
This is enabled only for function resources as class-based resources could already compose.
let formatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", {
hour: "numeric",
minute: "numeric",
second: "numeric",
hour12: false,
});
let format = (time) => formatter.format(time.current);
// representing the current time.
// This could be rendered directly as {{Now}}
// but Date does not serialize nicely for humans (Date.now() is a number)
const Now = resource(({ on }) => {
let now = cell(Date.now());
let timer = setInterval(() => now.set(Date.now()), 1000);
on.cleanup(() => clearInterval(timer));
return () => now.current;
});
const Clock = resource(({ use }) => {
let time = use(Now);
return () => format(time);
});
// Rendered, Clock is always the formatted time

<time>{{ Clock }}</time>

#715 e8155b2
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Drop support for TypeScript < 4.8 in order to support Glint.
#778 901ae9a
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - The map
utility resource has changed its first type-argument for better inference.
The utility already supported inference, so this change should not impact too many folks.
<details><summary>Migration and Reasoning</summary>When explicit type-arguments were specified,
class Demo {
// previously
a = map<Element>(this, {
data: () => [
/* ... list of Element(s) ... */
],
map: (element) => {
/* some transform */
},
});
// now
a = map<Element[]>(this, {
data: () => [
/* ... list of Element(s) ... */
],
map: (element) => {
/* some transform */
},
});
}
This is advantageous, because with @tsconfig/ember
, the option noUncheckedIndexedAccess
is enabled by default. This is a great strictness / quality option to have enabled,
as arrays in javascript are mutable, and we can't guarantee that they don't change between
index-accesses.
However the map
utility resource explicitly disallows the indicies to get out of sync
with the source data
.
But!, with noUncheckedIndexedAccess
, you can only infer so much before TS goes the safe route,
and makes the returned type X | undefined
.
For example, in these type-tests:
import { map } from "ember-resources/util/map";
import { expectType } from "ts-expect";
const constArray = [1, 2, 3];
b = map(this, {
data: () => constArray,
map: (element) => {
expectType<number>(element);
return element;
},
});
// index-access here is *safely* `| undefined`, due to `constArray` being mutable.
expectType<number | undefined>(b[0]);
expectType<number | undefined>(b.values()[0]);
// but when we use a const as const array, we define a tuple,
// and can correctly infer and return real values via index access
const tupleArray = [1, 2, 3] as const;
c = map(this, {
data: () => tupleArray,
map: (element) => {
expectType<number>(element);
return element;
},
});
// No `| undefined` here
expectType<number>(c[0]);
expectType<number>(c.values()[0]);

#815 54e2b50
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - The RemoteData
resource now has the same state changes and semantics as trackedFunction
.
Breaking Changes:
isResolved
is only true when the request succeeds. During migration, you may use isFinished
for previous behavior.#779 a471d9b
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - trackedFunction
has a new API and thus a major version release is required.
Work by @lolmaus
tl;dr: the breaking changes:
isResolved
is only true on successother changes:
trackedFunction
is a wrapper around ember-async-data
's TrackedAsyncData
ember-async-data
will need to be installed in the consumer's app to continue using trackedFunction
This keeps installs minimal for folks using ember-resources and are not using trackedFunction
NOTE: trackedFunction
is an example utility of how to use auto-tracking with function invocation,
and abstract away the various states involved with async behavior. Now that the heavy lifting is done by ember-async-data
,
trackedFunction
is now more of an example of how to integrated existing tracked utilities in to resources.
Previously, the state's isResolved
property on trackedFunction
was true
on both success and error.
now, isFinished
can be used instead.
isResolved
is now only true when the function runs to completion without error, aligning with the semantics of promises.
class Demo {
foo = trackedFunction(this, async () => {
/* ... */
});
<template>
{{this.foo.isFinished}} =
{{this.foo.isResolved}} or
{{this.foo.isError}}
</template>
}
Previously, trackedFunction
could take an initial value for its second argument.
class Demo {
foo = trackedFunction(this, "initial value", async () => {
/* ... */
});
}
This has been removed, as initial value can be better maintained and made more explicit in user-space. For example:
class Demo {
foo = trackedFunction(this, async () => {
/* ... */
});
get value() {
return this.foo.value ?? "initial value";
}
}
Or, in a template:
{{#if this.foo.value}}
{{this.foo.value}}
{{else}}
initial displayed content
{{/if}}
Or, in gjs/strict mode:
const withDefault = (value) => value ?? 'initial value';
class Demo extends Component {
foo = trackedFunction(this, async () => { /* ... */ });
<template>
{{withDefault this.foo.value}}
</template>
}

#785 66cee0e
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - The import path ember-resources/util/function-resource
has been removed,
as all the relevent exports have been available from ember-resources
since v5.
#797 18adb86
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Add link() and @link, importable from ember-resources/link
.
NOTE: for existing users of ember-resources
, this addition has no impact on your bundle.
import { link } from 'ember-resources/link';
class MyClass { ... }
export default class Demo extends Component {
// This usage does now allow passing args to `MyClass`
@link(MyClass) myInstance;
}
</details>
<details><summary>Example inline usage</summary>
import Component from "@glimmer/component";
import { cached } from "@glimmer/tracking";
import { link } from "ember-resources/link";
export default class Demo extends Component {
// To pass args to `MyClass`, you must use this form
// NOTE though, that `instance` is linked to the `Demo`s lifecycle.
// So if @foo is changing frequently, memory pressure will increase rapidly
// until the `Demo` instance is destroyed.
//
// Resources are a better fit for this use case, as they won't add to memory pressure.
@cached
get myFunction() {
let instance = new MyClass(this.args.foo);
return link(instance, this);
}
}
</details>
This abstracts away the following boilerplate:
import { getOwner, setOwner } from "@ember/owner";
import { associateDestroyableChild } from "@ember/destroyable";
class MyClass {
/* ... */
}
export default class Demo extends Component {
@cached
get myInstance() {
let instance = new MyClass();
associateDestroyableChild(this, instance);
let owner = getOwner(this);
if (owner) {
setOwner(instance, owner);
}
return instance;
}
}

Fixes the issue described at #793 If the task was called multiple times and the last returned value was null or undefined, then trackedTask will return the previous value instead of the current one.
#838 acbf03d
Thanks @NullVoxPopuli! - Fixes #835 - resolves regression introduced by PR: #808 which aimed to correctly return the previous task instance's value if the current task hasn't finished yet. The regression described by #835 was that if a task in cancelled (e.g.: dropped), it is considered finished, and that canceled task's value would be used instead of the last compuleted task. In normal ember-concurrency APIs, this is abstracted over via the .lastSuccessful
property on the TaskProperty
. The goal of the .value
on trackedTask
is to mimic the property chain: taskProperty.lastSuccessful?.value
.
