ember.js Reviews & Product Details

Ember.js supplies a framework that allows our developers to be more productive and not worry about the small things. We maintain several Ember.js applications for a wide variety of clients and it is easy to switch between projects because they all share the same structure and patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The framework is losing popularity and momentum and our clients are often unfamiliar with this specific technology compared to peers like React, Vue or Angular. This also makes it hard to keep investing in our Ember.js knowledge, even though we like the benefits it brings. This also means that new initiatives in the framework's development take langer to release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ember CLI I like how it helps simplify work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thight coupling with JQuery. So in some cases you will need to rewrite something from 0 to customize it to your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mixins and component which was helping in making wcalable app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Old version of ember was not up to the mark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ember has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you master that - web apps are so simple to build. With plugins for Rails controller/route generation - you can forget about needing to write complex server side code and focus mainly on the core in-browser app. The data-binding and computed properties make development in Ember so much fun.

Ember is a beast, if there is a bug - prepare to dig into the source code and hunt. The nice thing now is that there are a lot of devs on the project and using the project - much less frequent bugs. If you ever need to write code that breaks out of the pre-defined structure of Ember, that can get a bit more challenging. While there are ways to hop into the pipeline and break the flow, it is an up-hill battle the whole way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best about Ember is Convention over Configuration in its tool - Ember CLI. The organisation and structure of complex projects is great. Also, the components, the bindings, Ember Data, routing, everything together gives great experience of creating complex SPA applications. Ember Data makes it straightforward to work with your API backend and manage models.

Compared to for example Angular I'm happy that Ember comes with Ember CLI. You have best way how to do things shown in the Ember Guides. You don't have to find how to organise project in some tutorial or article like its in Angular, but you can actually jump right to developing applications by running simple command ember new my-new-application.

What I dislike about Ember is its performance compared to other frameworks. Also, sometimes Ember CLI was really painful to work with (you spend hours on struggling with Ember CLI tool instead of developing you application and writing business logic). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything. We love Ember.js! It is extremely powerful. Their documentation is awesome. The framework is being updated at a high velocity. They have released stable builds in a timely manner. New features are being added frequently. We use this framework for building powerful web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My company started using Ember.js before it even reached version 1.0. The beginning was a little rough, but now that they have stabilized the framework, it works amazing, and there is nothing to worry about! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coming from the wonderful world of Ruby on Rails, I like the down-to-earth no nonsense design which makes it exceedingly easy to get interactive websites up and running in no time. In addition to the now famous "convention over configuration", there are many appealing aspects. Just to name a few: online guide and API documentation, testing is built in from the start, command line interface ember-cli makes it a snap to create and update projects, there's a wide range of add-ons covering pretty much all you need. The best part is that it's just plain fun to use and there's an enthusiastic community out there to help. If the online guides aren't enough, then there's plenty of information available on the Internet as well as several books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You probably need to be more experienced with JavaScript, there's a steep learning curve and still some ongoing functionality changes and/or deprecations that need to be taken into account. Sometimes the exact flow is hard to get your mind wrapped around. It helps if you are familiar with ES6+. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, Ember represent my prefect framework because it give me all what I need and what I will need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ember is MVC based framework. Simple and powerful. CLI as plus for a standalone apps. Good docs and support. Easy to learn if you have any experience with MVC or you are experienced js user. Adapters, json, handlebars\htmlbars(in future) all this cool stuff are included by default. Easy integration with Rails. Best js framework for Rails developer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Repository is updated slowly. Starting Ember.js 2.0 developers reject MVC structure :( Lack of libs\plugins. Hard to keep code up-to-date. Each build comes with hard pack of changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
