What is ember-router-generator?
The ember-router-generator npm package is a utility for programmatically manipulating Ember.js router files. It allows developers to add, remove, and modify routes in an Ember.js application with ease.
What are ember-router-generator's main functionalities?
Add Route
This feature allows you to add a new route to the Ember.js router file. The `addRoute` function takes the path to the router file and an object representing the new route, and returns the updated router content.
const { addRoute } = require('ember-router-generator');
const routerFile = 'app/router.js';
const newRoute = { name: 'about', path: '/about' };
const updatedRouter = addRoute(routerFile, newRoute);
console.log(updatedRouter);
Remove Route
This feature allows you to remove an existing route from the Ember.js router file. The `removeRoute` function takes the path to the router file and the name of the route to be removed, and returns the updated router content.
const { removeRoute } = require('ember-router-generator');
const routerFile = 'app/router.js';
const routeName = 'about';
const updatedRouter = removeRoute(routerFile, routeName);
console.log(updatedRouter);
Modify Route
This feature allows you to modify an existing route in the Ember.js router file. The `modifyRoute` function takes the path to the router file, the name of the route to be modified, and an object representing the new route, and returns the updated router content.
const { modifyRoute } = require('ember-router-generator');
const routerFile = 'app/router.js';
const routeName = 'about';
const newRoute = { name: 'about-us', path: '/about-us' };
const updatedRouter = modifyRoute(routerFile, routeName, newRoute);
console.log(updatedRouter);
