Ember Support?

[austin-thrive]

Hi. So I would like to help move the needle on a legacy(ish) Ember-driven system. This includes starting to migrate reusable components to a process that will reduce load in the future as we migrate. Is there anything I need to be mindful of if we opt to use shoelace for this?

I know a while ago Shoelace used Stencil which has a mention of it in their documentation for an adapter but it's been collecting dust for ~4 years so I'm not exactly jumping at the opportunity to rely on it.

I noticed that Shoelace has since migrated to lit which is far more active, but has questionable knowledge about Ember. I understand it's been quite some time since Ember has been a competitor in the front-end space but I am currently seeking anything that might give me confidence in moving forward with any of these options.

I will be prototyping regardless to see how everything might be able to fit together, but I wanted to ask here in case there are any upcoming pitfalls I should be aware of.

The page you linked to is about Reactive Controllers, which is a feature of Lit. It's not indicative of whether or not web components will work with any of the libs/frameworks listed therein.

That said, I'm not sure how well Ember plays with custom elements. It's not listed on Custom Elements Everywhere, and I've personally never used Ember. Sorry I can't be of more help here.

I'd be interested to hear more about your experience, though, so please keep me updated!

Ah! Okay. I could have sworn it was at one point but I might be thinking of Svelte when it was in its early stages of really selling itself to the market because it had 100% support whereas React was lagging behind.

To what you've said though, I guess it goes to show how early into the research phase I am with this.

We already have an established design system so determination will have to be made between theming Shoelace or creating our own based on the frameworks I already highlighted above.

Thanks regardless!

If you pick Shoelace, please let me know what problems you encounter theming it. I recently started working on tooling to make the process easier, and need to know what issues people encounter theming their own apps.
