ember-cli-resolve-asset

Imperatively resolves assets fingerprinted by broccoli-asset-rev, which allows you to even resolve interpolated paths.

Installation

ember install ember-cli-resolve-asset

If you want to use this in one of your addons, the consuming host application will also need to install ember-cli-resolve-asset. If this not a case, a helpful build error will be shown.

Setup

The following configuration in your ember-cli-build.js is required for this addon to work correctly.

const app = new EmberAddon(defaults, {
  fingerprint: {
    enabled: true, // If false, this addon is disabled also.
    generateAssetMap: true, // Required.
    fingerprintAssetMap: true // Recommended to prevent caching issues.
  },
 
  'ember-fetch': {
    preferNative: true // Recommended to enable faster preloading for browsers that support it.
  }
});

• ember-fetch options

Usage

Utils

resolveAsset

async resolveAsset(path: string, withoutPrepend = false): Promise<string>

Asynchronously resolves the given path from the asset map.

If the asset map is not loaded yet, this function will wait for it. If loading the asset map fails, the returned Promise will reject. If the path is not listed in the asset map, the returned Promise will reject.

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
import fetch from 'fetch';
import resolveAsset from 'ember-cli-resolve-asset';
 
export default class ApplicationRoute extends Route {
  @service intl;
  @service language;
 
  async beforeModel() {
    const preferredLanguage = this.language.getPreferredLanguage();
    const translationsPath = await resolveAsset(
      `translations/${preferredLanguage}.json`
    );
    const translations = await fetch(translationsPath);
 
    this.intl.addTranslations(preferredLanguage, await translations.json());
    this.intl.setLocale(preferredLanguage);
  }
}

resolveAssetSync

resolveAssetSync(path: string, withoutPrepend = false): string

Synchronous version of resolveAsset.

Synchronously resolves the given path from the asset map.

If the asset map is not loaded yet, this function will throw. If the path is not listed in the asset map, this function will throw.

Usage of this function is discouraged in favor of resolveAsset. Only use this function, if using the async version is not feasible and if you can guarantee, that load ran to completion beforehand.

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
import fetch from 'fetch';
import {
  resolveAssetSync,
  load as loadAssetMap
} from 'ember-cli-resolve-asset';
 
export default class ApplicationRoute extends Route {
  @service intl;
  @service language;
 
  async beforeModel() {
    await loadAssetMap();
 
    const preferredLanguage = this.language.getPreferredLanguage();
    const translationsPath = resolveAssetSync(
      `translations/${preferredLanguage}.json`
    );
    const translations = await fetch(translationsPath);
 
    this.intl.addTranslations(preferredLanguage, await translations.json());
    this.intl.setLocale(preferredLanguage);
  }
}

load

async load(): Promise<void>

This function returns a Promise that resolves once the asset map was loaded successfully. Repeatedly calling this function returns the same Promise. After this Promise has resolved, you can use resolveAssetSync.

This function is called automatically by an initializer, to start the loading of the asset map as soon as possible. This means there is no direct need for you to call this function yourself, unless you want to await the asset map explicitly.
