Ember Seamless Immutable

"Immutable data structures which are backwards-compatible with normal Arrays and Objects" provided by the excellent Seamless Immutable library, wrapped and adapted for Ember.

:warning: Experimental. A noop function is defined on all objects made immutable to circumvent Ember defining meta properties on them.

:warning: Array prototype extension incompatiblity. This add-on is incompatible with the Ember array prototype extension. For instructions on disabling prototype extensions consult the Ember guide.

Why Addon?

• Seamless-immutable is imported from node_modules to Ember app (i.e., up-to-date, not bundled)
• Seamless-immutable is configured to your Ember app environment
• Immutable objects are made usable in Ember templates
• Helper that makes properties passed to a component immutable

Installation

ember install ember-seamless-immutable

Usage

import immutable from 'immutable';
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model() {
    return Ember.$.getJSON('/api/contacts').then(response => {
      return immutable(response.contacts);
    });
  }
});

The default export immutable is adapted for Ember. The original named export remains intact:

import { Immutable } from 'immutable';

See Seamless Immutable: API Overview.

Helper

{{contact-detail contact=(immutable contact)}}

An immutable contact object will be passed in to the component.
