Question 1

Why is ember-cli-template-lint deprecated?

Accepted Answer

It's deprecated due to Ember CLI's shift away from bundled linting addons, as explained in the linked RFCs and pull requests in the README. This change standardizes using core tools like ember-template-lint directly without CLI wrappers for better flexibility and maintenance.

Question 2

How to migrate from ember-cli-template-lint to ember-template-lint?

Accepted Answer

First, uninstall ember-cli-template-lint using npm or yarn, then install ember-template-lint. Update your project's configuration to use ember-template-lint's setup, which may involve modifying the .template-lintrc.js file and ensuring linting runs in your build process, as per the ember-template-lint documentation.

Question 3

What's the difference between ember-cli-template-lint and ember-template-lint?

Accepted Answer

ember-cli-template-lint is an Ember CLI addon that wraps ember-template-lint for seamless integration, while ember-template-lint is the core linting library. With the deprecation, using ember-template-lint directly is recommended for more control, updates, and avoiding the addon overhead.

Question 4

Can I still use ember-cli-template-lint with the latest Ember version?

Accepted Answer

It may still work, but since it's deprecated, compatibility with new Ember versions isn't guaranteed. The README advises using ember-template-lint directly for ongoing support and to avoid potential breaking changes in future Ember CLI updates.

Question 5

How do I configure custom rules in ember-cli-template-lint?

Accepted Answer

You configure rules by creating a .template-lintrc.js file in your project root, where you define enabled and disabled rules based on ember-template-lint's rule set. The README links to the ember-template-lint documentation for details on available rules and configuration options.

Question 6

What are the alternatives to ember-cli-template-lint for Ember template linting?

Accepted Answer

The main alternative is using ember-template-lint directly, which is now the standard. Other options might include integrating template linting via ESLint plugins, but for Ember.js Handlebars templates, ember-template-lint is the recommended and most comprehensive tool.
