Ember.js - Testing on Rails
Ember.js - Testing on Rails
About the Book
Now that Ember.js is stabilizing many developers are looking for information on how to create a comprehensive test suite for their apps. Integrating Ember with Ruby on Rails is great for developer happiness, but building an automated test suite which integrated the Ember fronted seems to be an area that needs more information.
In this book I will cover
- Building an app with Rails 4 and Ember.js
- Creating an automated test suite which covers both front and backend
- The hooks available in Ember to allow testing
- Testing relationships in Ember
- Developing your own testing helpers
I hope you enjoy the book and look forward to your feedback.
In order to prevent any potential disappointment - this is not a beginners level book for Rails and JavaScript, there's an expectation that you know the basics. I make every attempt to keep everything as straightforward as possible, but the focus here is on testing and integrating the two frameworks. If you've got a fair bit of experience with Ember, you may find the book of limited use.
---------
If you're not a Rails developer, you'll still find benefit from the testing strategies, but the book has a significant Rails focus.
Just to be really clear, Ember is still in constant development, but I will aim to keep up to date with what's going on and will adjust the book to deal with any changes that affect the content. If you discover a problem, let me know and I'll get on to it as soon as possible!
WARNING - Given the speed with which Ember has developed much of the information is now outdated. I'm leaving it out here for FREE now because the information about working in a test driven style is still relevant, but much of the implementation is no longer functional.
