Ember CLI - How do I use it in discourse?

Development

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around using Ember CLI with Discourse. Initially, drew0101 encountered issues running Ember commands, but sam clarified that Ember CLI is not used for developing Discourse, and instead, Rails should be configured.

drew0101 asked if there was a downside to configuring Rails to use Ember-CLI, to which sam replied that it would be a massive change due to Discourse’s custom asset pipeline.

spirobel inquired about the documentation for the asset pipeline to use Ember code in a plugin. The documentation’s location remains unclear, as andersonmmi also asked for it.

However, codinghorror mentioned that eviltrout is working on getting Discourse up to date with Ember CLI, a challenging task due to the age of the Ember application and the large number of plugins and themes that need to be considered.

Hello,

I am about to start hacking away at discourse, but I am confused how ember is used. Running commands such as ‘ember version’ or ‘ember g ’ give the error ‘ember: No such file or directory’. Do I need to install the ember cli separately?

We do not use Ember CLI to develop Discourse. You need to configure Rails and run it. To make life easier use our docker dev environment. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/bin/docker

This would be a GIANT Ginormous change. We have a very custom asset pipeline.

L’asset pipeline è documentata da qualche parte? Vorrei utilizzare un codice Ember come questo, ad esempio in un plugin:

Come posso procedere? Devo copiare manualmente il codice?

Hai mai trovato la documentazione sull’asset pipeline?

Wow, questo argomento è vecchio, ma @eviltrout sta lavorando per portarci su Ember CLI negli ultimi mesi – è un lavoro enorme!

Sì, la nostra applicazione Ember è piuttosto vecchia in questo momento e non abbiamo ancora completamente abbandonato alcune delle nostre vecchie abitudini. Inoltre, l’aggiornamento è più lento perché abbiamo centinaia di plugin e temi che non vogliamo rompere durante il processo.

Tuttavia, mi aspetto di fare buoni progressi presto!
