👋 Emberistas! 🐹

New release of Unstable Ember Language Server, share code snippets on Twitter using Ember, the difference between ember serve and npm run start, and an addon roundup!

Release of uELS v2.0.16 ✅

Unstable Ember Language Server is a fully featured fork of Ember Language Server. While the name says unstable it actually has been stable and ready to use for day-to-day development!

Thanks to both Alex LaFroscia (@alexlafroscia) and Alex Kanunnikov (@lifeart) for new version release which provides:

• Support workspace/didChangeConfiguration event
• Improved startup speed by delaying template tokenization
• Autocomplete now use global registry and file change events, not fs lookup, but we still do fs lookup on project initialization
• Added template-lint severity support
• Improved template-linting speed

Try out uELS today:

• VSCode Marketplace
• neoVim
• Emacs using lsp-mode
• Use Open VSX for hosting extensions with GitPod, Onivim, Coder, VSCodium, and Theia.

Do you want to share demos, gifs, or code snippets on Twitter? Try limber.glimdown.com from @NullVoxPopuli, built with Ember! Code snippets on limber.glimdown.com can be copied as text or images. Check out how it works on Twitter.

The difference between ember serve and npm run start 🖥

Jesse Jordan (@jayjayjpg) blogged about some subtle differences between npm run start and ember serve, inspired by this question on StackOverflow. Even when using nvm, there can be some dependency gotchas with globally installed packages. Check out Jesse's dev.to post for more info.

Addon roundup 🌐

• Using empress-blog? If you're not familiar with it, empress-blog is the fully-functional, SEO friendly static site implementation of a blog system built on Ember. Check out Michal Bryxí (@MichalBryxi)'s bite-sized blog posts posts on how to set up Mixpanel tracking events in empress-blog and how to add a tag page to your empress-blog main menu.
• Want to migrate your Ember projects to Tailwind CSS, but don't know where to start? Rajasegar Chandran (@rajasegar) created the ember-tailwind-codemod addon to make your migrations less painful. Give it a spin on your repos and check out the README for contribution ideas.
• Rajasegar Chandran (@rajasegar) created another new addon, ember-plantuml, which allows you to visualize your Ember components and models via PlantUML. You can also download the UML diagrams as SVG files. Look forward to trying it out, seems promising for visual learners!
