About Ember.js
Ember.js is a JavaScript framework for building large web applications with a set of agreed conventions. It includes a router, a data library, a build pipeline and a test setup, so most decisions are made for you.
What it does
Ember CLI generates files in the right places and runs a development server with fast rebuilds and automatic reloads. The router handles nested URLs, query parameters and loading states while data arrives. Ember Data helps you describe models and the relationships between them, and it keeps records up to date across the app.
Key features
- Code generators for routes, components and models
- Router with nested URLs and query parameters
- Ember Data for models and relationships
- Tests generated alongside new parts of the app
Who it's for
Teams that build long-running internal tools or large products and want one shared way of working. It fits developers who prefer a framework that comes with routing, data and testing included rather than assembling those parts themselves.
Pricing and good to know
Ember is open source under the MIT licence and free to use. Its conventions are strong, so the framework works best when a team agrees to follow them. Any data library can be used, but Ember Data is included in new apps by default.
Highlights
- Generators for routes, components and models
- Nested URLs with query parameters
- Ember Data for linked models
- Test files created with each new entity
