Simple, flexible infinite scroll addon for Ember CLI applications, with service-based state management.
Ember Infinity is an addon for Ember CLI applications that simplifies implementing infinite scrolling. It manages pagination, loading states, and caching automatically, allowing developers to fetch and display large datasets seamlessly as users scroll. It integrates with Ember Data and supports customizable backend APIs.
Ember.js developers building data-intensive applications like dashboards, feeds, or product listings that require efficient, paginated data loading without full page refreshes.
Developers choose Ember Infinity for its simplicity out-of-the-box, flexible customization options, and robust service-based architecture that handles complex state management and caching automatically.

Uses a service-component approach to manage long-term state and caching, reducing boilerplate in routes and components while enabling features like optional timestamp-based cache invalidation.
Supports custom query parameters, cursor-based pagination, and integration with various backends (e.g., Kaminari Gem), allowing adaptation to non-standard API responses through configuration options like perPageParam and pageParam.
Enables fetching and managing multiple infinite scroll models within a single route, facilitating complex UIs with independent scrollable sections without extra setup.
Offers timestamp-based caching to minimize network requests and provides event hooks like afterInfinityModel for custom post-fetch logic, enhancing performance and extensibility.
Requires servers to return pagination metadata in specific fields (e.g., meta.total_pages), which may not align with all API designs, necessitating additional configuration or backend changes.
Tightly integrated with Ember.js and Ember Data, making it unsuitable for projects outside the Ember ecosystem or those using alternative data stores without custom integration efforts.
Customizing pagination for cursor-based or complex APIs involves extending InfinityModel and writing custom logic, adding development time and complexity compared to drop-in solutions.
