no-empty-glimmer-component-classes

✅ The "extends": "plugin:ember/recommended" property in a configuration file enables this rule.

This rule will catch and prevent the use of empty backing classes for Glimmer components.

Rule Details

This rule aims to disallow the use of empty backing classes for Glimmer components when possible. Template-only Glimmer components where there is no backing class are much faster and lighter-weight than Glimmer components with backing classes, which are much lighter-weight than Ember components. Therefore, you should only have a backing class for a Glimmer component when absolutely necessary.

To fix violations of this rule:

  • In apps: Remove the backing class entirely until it is actually needed.
  • In in-repo addons: Replace the backing class depending on what the host app is doing. That is, if template-only-glimmer-components is enabled, remove the backing class. Otherwise, replace it with a templateOnly export.
  • In other addons: Replace the backing class with a templateOnly export. This is necessary because you can't assume template-only-glimmer-components is enabled.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

import Component from '@glimmer/component';

class MyComponent extends Component {}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

import Component from '@glimmer/component';

class MyComponent extends Component {
  foo() {
    return this.args.bar + this.args.baz;
  }
}
import templateOnly from '@ember/component/template-only';

const MyComponent = templateOnly();

export default MyComponent;
