Question 1

How to use ember-wormhole for modals in Ember?

Accepted Answer

Wrap your modal content in an ember-wormhole block targeting a top-level DOM element with an id, like 'modal-root'. This renders it outside the component tree while preserving Ember bindings and actions. Ensure the destination is within the Ember app's DOM for proper functionality, as per the README.

Question 2

Ember wormhole vs in-element: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose ember-wormhole if you need advanced features like renderInPlace, dynamic targeting, or compatibility with older Ember versions. For Ember 3.21+ projects with basic teleportation needs, the native in-element helper is often sufficient and reduces dependencies, as highlighted in the README comparison.

Question 3

Can I dynamically change where ember-wormhole renders content?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by using the destinationElement property to pass an element object instead of an id, you can change the target dynamically based on app state. This is useful for scenarios like rendering tooltips to different elements or managing multiple destinations, as shown in the README examples.

Question 4

How to handle if/else blocks inside ember-wormhole?

Accepted Answer

Wrap conditional content in a stable root element, such as a div, to avoid issues in Ember 2.10+. The README explicitly notes this requirement to ensure proper rendering when using conditional logic within the wormhole block, preventing orphaned nodes.

Question 5

Is ember-wormhole compatible with Ember Octane?

Accepted Answer

Ember-wormhole is compatible with Ember 1.13 and higher, including Octane editions, but check the README for specific version notes. The addon is maintained, but for new Octane apps, consider if the native in-element helper suffices to minimize addon dependencies.
