ember-cli-cjs-transform

ember-cli-cjs-transform is an Ember CLI addon that allows developers to import CommonJS format files directly into their Ember applications using the standard app.import functionality introduced in ember-cli 2.16. This eliminates the need for additional shim packages and simplifies dependency management when integrating CommonJS libraries.

Key Features

• CommonJS Import Support — Enables importing CommonJS modules via app.import without requiring AMD transformation.
• Automatic Dependency Resolution — Automatically follows internal require calls at build time and includes all dependencies in the final build output.
• Rollup Plugin Integration — Supports custom Rollup plugins to handle edge cases like Node.js built-in modules (e.g., require('path')).
• Simplified Library Integration — Allows direct import of libraries like showdown and showdown-highlight without extra shim addons.

Philosophy

The project aims to streamline the integration of CommonJS modules into Ember applications by leveraging existing Ember CLI build pipelines, reducing configuration overhead and improving developer experience.
