• What Is Reactivity?

  Ember Octane has landed along with a large number of new features, but none of these features is more exciting to me personally than autotracking. Autotracking is Ember's new reactivity system, which is what allows Ember to know when stateful values (such as @tracked properties) have changed.

• Do You Need EmberObject?

  As native classes have stabilized and more and more of the Ember community has begun converting over to them, I've heard a lot of misinformation being spread around about what they are and aren't capable of. This is a pretty important transition for Ember, so I wanted to set the record straight really quickly about a few key things.

• Ember Octane Update: Async Observers

  Making observers asynchronous may seem like a strange decision at first. After all, observers are functions that are triggered by property changes, so shouldn't they run immediately after the property changes?

• Ember Octane Update: Landing Decorators

  When decorators are officially released, the main change is that all computed(), service(), controller(), and all of the computed property macros will become native decorators directly. You will not need to import them from a separate file path.

• Coming Soon in Ember Octane - Part 4: Modifiers

  Modifiers are similar to Handlebars helpers, they are functions or classes that can be used in templates directly using {{double-curlies}}. The major difference with modifiers is that they are applied directly to elements.

• Coming Soon in Ember Octane - Part 3: Tracked Properties

  Tracked properties are Ember's next iteration on this system. They address all of the above pain points, and then some. The way they work is by explicitly annotating all trackable properties on a class, instead of annotating the dependencies for every single getter, effectively reversing where the annotation occurs.

• Coming Soon in Ember Octane - Part 1: Native Classes

  Maybe you're not convinced by the new syntax - after all, it's not that much different than what we have today. There are many other benefits that'll be coming thanks to native classes, and I'd like to touch on them briefly here.
