I just started working with Ember-CLI 0.0.36 and I'm stuck with the Gravatar example code from the Ember.js homepage.
I did
> bower install --save JavaScript-MD5
> ember generate component gravatar-image
Brocfile.js
[...]
app.import('vendor/JavaScript-MD5/js/md5.js');
[...]
app/components/gravatar-image.js
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Component.extend({
size: 200,
email: '',
gravatarUrl: function() {
var email = this.get('email'),
size = this.get('size');
return 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/' + md5(email) + '?s=' + size;
}.property('email', 'size')
});
After starting ember server I'll get the following error message:
xyz/components/gravatar-image.js: line 11, col 48, 'md5' is not defined.
1 error
How can I tell the component to use JavaScript-MD5?
To get this to work I used:
bower install blueimp-md5 --save-dev
and added import in Brocfile.js
app.import('bower_components/blueimp-md5/js/md5.js');
then add "md5" to predef array as mentioned by Oliver to suppress md5 warning.
JavaScript-MD5 does't export any AMD-Modules, if I see it right. But it defines window.md5. So your app.import will include it in vendor.js and you can call window.md5 in the component.
That's just a jshint linter message.
Open your .jshintrc file, add "md5" to the "predef" object and you are fine.
You might need to install the ember-cli-md5 package. This will install all the required dependencies in your node modules.
Use this npm install --save-dev ember-cli-md5 to install ember-cli-md5.
Once installed you will need to generate md-5 which will install the browser package via bower.
Use this to generate md-5 ember generate md-5.
So, you need to perform following two steps:-
npm install --save-dev ember-cli-md5
ember generate md-5

Trying to use howler.js (https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js#documentation) in a Controller.
There is no addon for Howler but it exists as a npm package.
I did an npm install and subsequently got an update in package.json like this :
"dependencies": {
"bootswatch": "^4.0.0",
"howler": "^2.0.9",
"npm": "^5.8.0"
}
In the controller I added this import
import {Howl} from 'howler';
But when I try to execute the code I get a runtime error
Could not find module 'howler' imported from 'foo/controllers/bar'
When I do a find for *howl* this is what I find
./node_modules/howler/dist/howler.js
./node_modules/howler/dist/howler.core.min.js
./node_modules/howler/dist/howler.min.js
./node_modules/howler/dist/howler.spatial.min.js
./node_modules/howler/src/howler.core.js
./node_modules/howler/src/plugins/howler.spatial.js
Should my import have a path to these files as part of it ? If so which one ?
Would appreciate some advice about whether there's something obviously wrong in what I've done there.
Emberjs version is 3.0.
Thanks
You can import the howler.js inside your ember-cli-build.js like this
app.import('node_modules/howler/dist/howler.min.js')
Then you can use Howl as global variable inside you ember app.
EDIT: this is actually about any npm package which is not designed to play along with ember. In my case, I tried to make crypto-js work, but it seems to be always the same trouble with any npm package not specially designed for ember cli.
I want to use cryptoJS in my ember app, which I'm currently refactoring with ember cli, but I'm having a lot of trouble importing all the third party packages and libraries I'm already using, like for example cryptoJS.
CryptoJS at least has a package for npm, I don't even want to think about what happens if some of my included libraries don't have a package...
Am I just missing the point in the documentation of ember-cli or is it really not described how to import other npm packages and also how to inlcude non-package libraries properly to keep them under version control and dependency control?
If I follow the description of the crypto-js package manual:
var CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");
console.log(CryptoJS.HmacSHA1("Message", "Key"));
I get and error in my ember build
utils/customauthorizer.js: line 1, col 16, 'require' is not defined.
Thanks for any help on this, I'm very excited about the ember cli project, but importing my existing ember app has been quite painful so far...
EDIT:
Just importing unfortunately does not work.
import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
throws during the build

The easiest and recommended answer is to use ember-browserify. (as support for bower packages will be removed in the future.)
This is an example for using the npm package dexie within an Ember CLI app.
Install browserify: npm install ember-browserify --save-dev
Install dexie (or whatever module you need): npm install dexie --save-dev
Import the module like this: import Dexie from 'npm:dexie';
UPDATE (April 2021):
ember-browserify has now been is deprecated in favor of either ember-auto-import or ember-cli-cjs-transform
(see the deprecation warning at the top of ember-browserify)
UPDATE: I got this to work much better and straight forward! Thanks to the comment of #j_mcnally!
Will leave the first answer down there so everyone can see what trouble I was coming from :)
What I did:
bower install crypto-js=svn+http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/#~3.1.2 --save
In my file Brocfile.js I could just do app.import('bower_components/crypto-js/build/rollups/hmac-md5.js');
No manual downloading or moving files, just managing a dependency, much better solution!
But honestly, it was still a lot of vodoo! Until I found the documentation... sweet: http://bower.io/docs/api/#install
OLD approach
I got this to work, but I can not tell how pretty or correct that approach is. Including third party packages or libraries with ember cli is pretty far away from straight forward or self explaining.
The ressources which led me to my working solution were:
how to use third party javascript from ember-cli route
https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/issues/757
The following steps I took to get it working:
I manually downloaded the library https://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/downloads/detail?name=CryptoJS%20v3.1.2.zip and unziped it
I manually created a directory in my vendor directory: mkdir vendor/crypto-js
I appended app.import('vendor/crypto-js/hmac-md5.js'); to the Brocfile.js file
I added "CryptoJS" to the "predef" key in the .jshintrc file
Then the build worked and I could eventually use the library.
Sadly I didn't get the npm package to work! I had to manually download the zip file, unzip it and move it to the correct location and if the version changes, it's not under any version/dependency control... I will not mark this as an answer, since it does not satisfy me at all, but at least I wanted to share what I did to make it work for me.
As Timm describes, using browserify gets the code injected into your ember app. However, I was having trouble actually using the injected module. In order to do that I had to actually create the module with New before I could use it:
In order to import an NPM module.
1) install browserify:
npm install ember-browserify --save-dev
2) install your modele:
npm install my-module --save-dev
3) Import your module into your ember file of interest (app/controller/post.js):
import Module from 'npm:my-module';
4) use the module from within your code by creating the module with New:
var output = new Module(var1, var2, etc.);
even though this is an old thread thought I would contribute as I spent a while doing this. The specific package I was trying to link to ember was 'd3plus' and had to do a variety of things to get it to work.
npm install ember-browserify --save-dev
npm install d3plus --save-dev
ember install ember-cli-coffeescript
npm install --save-dev coffeeify coffeescript
then in your component do
import d3plus from 'npm:d3plus';
For a long time I was getting runtime errors when it was searching for the coffescript and figured this would be helpful for people specifically looking for d3plus.
As stated by Pablo Morra on a comment of the simplabs' post "Using npm libraries in Ember CLI", third party npm modules can be imported on Ember.js from version 2.15 directly without the need of addons or wrappers:
https://www.emberjs.com/blog/2017/09/01/ember-2-15-released.html#toc_app-import-files-within-node_modules
Unfortunately documentation is still on work and it doesn't say that npm modules can be imported, only bower and vendor ones:
https://github.com/emberjs/guides/issues/2017
https://guides.emberjs.com/v3.0.0/addons-and-dependencies/managing-dependencies/
I've gotten 2 solutions to import third party npm modules directly on Ember.js from the Ember CLI documentation about managing dependencies, although it's also out-of-date and says that npm modules can't be imported, only bower and vendor ones:
npm module as Standard Anonymous AMD Asset
https://ember-cli.com/managing-dependencies#standard-anonymous-amd-asset
AMD: Asynchronous Module Definition
I prefer and use this way because it avoids global variables and follows the import convention of Ember.js.
ember-cli-build.js:
app.import('node_modules/ic-ajax/dist/amd/main.js', {
using: [
{ transformation: 'amd', as: 'ic-ajax' }
]
});
amd is the type of transformation applied, and ic-ajax is the module name to be used when it's imported on a javascript file.
on Ember.js javascript file (router, component...):
import raw from 'ic-ajax';
// ...
icAjaxRaw( /* ... */ );
raw is a module exported by ic-ajax.
That's the way it worked for me although the Ember CLI documentation shows the import other way that didn't work for me, maybe because of the specific package I was importing:
import { raw as icAjaxRaw } from 'ic-ajax';
//...
icAjaxRaw( /* ... */ );
npm module as global variable
https://ember-cli.com/managing-dependencies#standard-non-amd-asset
ember-cli-build.js:
app.import('node_modules/moment/moment.js');
on Ember.js javascript file (router, component...):
/* global moment */
// No import for moment, it's a global called `moment`
// ...
var day = moment('Dec 25, 1995');
/* global moment */ is an annotation for ESLint not to show an error when building the project because moment() is not defined in the file.
npm module as Standard Named AMD Asset
https://ember-cli.com/managing-dependencies#standard-named-amd-asset
Ember CLI also shows a third option that didn't work for me, maybe because of the specific package I was importing:
ember-cli-build.js:
app.import('node_modules/ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js');
on Ember.js javascript file (router, component...):
import { raw as icAjaxRaw } from 'ic-ajax';
//...
icAjaxRaw( /* ... */ );
npm module as AMD JavaScript modules
https://guides.emberjs.com/v3.0.0/addons-and-dependencies/managing-dependencies/#toc_amd-javascript-modules
The way described on Ember.js documentation about Managing Dependencies didn't work for me either, maybe because of the specific package I was importing:
ember-cli-build.js:
app.import('node_modules/ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js', {
exports: {
'ic-ajax': [
'default',
'defineFixture',
'lookupFixture',
'raw',
'request'
]
}
});
on Ember.js javascript file (router, component...):
import { raw as icAjaxRaw } from 'ic-ajax';
//...
icAjaxRaw( /* ... */ );
Hi I am trying to use ember-calender library
I did the following thing
npm install ember-cli-moment
updated .jshintrc with moment: true
npm install ember-cli-calendar from emberaddons.com site
and
in login.hbs
<h2>Login</h2>
{{ember-calendar
eventsMode=eventsMode
gridMode='month'
allEvents=eventList
}}
I am getting error
Uncaught Error: <venuehunt#view:default::ember522> Handlebars error: Could not find property 'ember-calendar' on object <venuehunt#controller:login::ember396>.
VM204:993ProfileManager.ended VM204:993flush
VM204:2067fn vendor.js:13478DeferredActionQueues.invoke
vendor.js:13808DeferredActionQueues.flush vendor.js:13858Backburner.end
vendor.js:13321Backburner.run vendor.js:13376executeTimers
vendor.js:13701(anonymous function)
I faced a similar issue the other day.
It appears that Ember does not see the addon 'ember-calendar' and tries to look it up as a property from controllers.
The solution was adding the addon to project's package.json devDependencies:
{
....
"ember-cli-calendar": "*"
}
A shortcut for adding would be:
npm install ember-cli-calendar --save-dev
Hope this helps!
I've recently upgraded from ember-cli 0.0.36 to 0.0.37 and have been struggling to import ember-data. Although seemingly simple, it's not working for me. In the Brocfile.js, the old import was
app.import({
development: 'vendor/ember-data/ember-data.js',
production: 'vendor/ember-data/ember-data.prod.js'
});
This was modified to comply with the new syntax:
app.import('vendor/ember-data/ember-data.js', { exports: { ember: ['default'] } });
however, I get the following error:
app.import(vendor/ember-data/ember-data.js) - Passing modules object is deprecated. Please pass an option object with modules as export key (see http://git.io/H1GsPw for more info).
I'm not sure how to proceed with this one so any help is much appreciated.
The new syntax is detailed here
As mentioned in the deprecated message this is the new syntax.
app.import({
development: 'vendor/ember-data/ember-data.js',
production: 'vendor/ember-data/ember-data.prod.js'
}, {
exports: {
'ember-data': ['default']
}
});
This error message was the result of leftovers from the old ember-cli-ember-data shim which was set to version 0.0.4 in the package.json file. I've changed it to 0.1.0 which is the latest as of this writing, removed (deleted) the old ember-cli-ember-data directory from the node_modules package directory and reran npm install. This resulted in the warning message disappearing.
I'm using ember-cli v0.0.23, and am trying to get the broccoli-compass package working with my project, and I've run into some problems.
First, in my Brocfile, I have replaced the standard Ember-CLI "blueprint" version of:
var styles = preprocessCss(appAndDependencies, prefix + '/styles', '/assets');
with the following:
var compileCompass = require('broccoli-compass');
var styles = compileCompass(appAndDependencies, 'app/styles/app.scss', {
outputStyle: 'expanded',
sassDir: 'app/styles',
imagesDir: 'public/images/'
});
However, when I run an ember build, I receive the following output:
$ ember build
[broccoli-compass] Error: Command failed: Errno::ENOENT on line ["155"] of /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/compass-0.12.6/lib/compass/compiler.rb: No such file or directory - /Users/gaker/Sites/project/tmp/tree_merger-tmp_dest_dir-GrWa8Zva.tmp/app/styles/app.scss
Run with --trace to see the full backtrace. The command-line arguments was: `compass compile app/styles/app.scss --relative-assets --sass-dir app/styles --output-style expanded --images-dir public/images/ --css-dir "../compass_compiler-tmp_dest_dir-eFsq51BG.tmp"`
If I try to run the compass command that is output in the error in my terminal, it does create the file, only it is up one directory from my project root (notice --css-dir in the output).
I have tried many combinations of options sassDir, imagesDir, etc when calling compileCompass and this is the closest I've gotten.
So any ideas on what I can do to successfully get compass, broccoli-compass and ember-cli playing nicely?
Thanks in advance
You can use ember-cli-compass-compiler addon to compile compass in ember-cli apps.
Just do the following in your ember-cli app:
npm install --save-dev ember-cli-compass-compiler
This is all you need to do, everything works as expected from now on. It compiles your appname.scss file into appname.css on ember build or ember serve command.
Try this (added prefix and cssDir):
var compileCompass = require('broccoli-compass');
var styles = compileCompass(appAndDependencies, prefix + '/styles/app.scss', {
outputStyle: 'expanded',
sassDir: prefix + '/styles',
imagesDir: 'public/images/',
cssDir: '/assets'
});
