This is the eleventh in our DecEmber series-"Countdown to The New Year: 31 Days of Ember Addons". We plan to highlight a new addon each day until the new year, and we hope you'll join us for the fun!

Day 11

This addon ember-page-title provides a helper for changing the browser tab title of the page within your application.

What It Does

The ember-page-title addon is helpful for many reasons, but an important reason is that it is a WCAG success criteria (2.4.2) to provide a page title. A quick tip about page titles! The title of each Web page should:

• Identify the subject of the Web page
• Make sense when read out of context, for example by a screen reader or in a site map or list of search results
• Be short

Why I Like It

Thanks to ember-page-title, you can provide users with an HTML browser title tag so they know where they are within your single-page application (SPA).

How to use it:

1. Run ember install ember-page-title
2. Add {{head-layout}} to your application.hbs file
3. Include the title helper to each page's template. For example, if you had an "About" route, add {{title "About Us"}} to that template. This helper also gives you the ability to add custom separators, for example {{title "About" separator=">"}}. More information can be found at the Ember Page Title Docs Site.

This addon is Octane-ready!
