RFC #0460 - Tracking for Yieldable Named Blocks

Expand for Instructions

All teams need to consider a merged RFC to plan any required work. Each team should comment on or edit this with links to issues for the work (or a note to the effect of "No work required").

See the README for more information
See #3 for an example

Under each team, for each repo requiring work for the RFC under that team:
### [repo name](repo url)

- [ ] (issue or pr) description, (issue or pr) link

Remove Repos that do not apply, conversely, there will probably be other repos that need work and should be added.

A very rough idea of the work needed for upgrading in Ember can be seen in the upgrades done to Glimmer.js for the same range:

• Upgrade Glimmer VM dependencies to v0.39.1 glimmerjs/glimmer.js#170
• Bump glimmer-vm to 0.40.1 glimmerjs/glimmer.js#185
• Upgrade Glimmer VM to v0.41.0 glimmerjs/glimmer.js#198
• Update Glimmer VM to v0.42.0 glimmerjs/glimmer.js#212

Is there any rough estimation when we can expect this feature? <=3.14 or later? :)

I'm working on new addon which will use it as core functionality and I'm wondering when I could be able to release it.

Has anyone started on this, thinking of starting this week if no one has yet.

[rwjblue]

Not that I know of. I think that many/most folks with time to work on OSS at the moment are pretty focused on making Octane successful. Not an excuse or anything, just mentioning that as a reason why this is simmering for a bit...

step 1: emberjs/ember.js#18454

There has been progress recently and we are looking to start documenting.
These are roughly the documentation goals:

• [API docs] Adjust documentation of Ember.Templates.helpers yeld for additional named block behavior
• [API docs] Reference yield documentation in the Component class-level documentation.
• [Blog] Write a blog that explains the feature and when a developer might want to use it and how.
• [Guides] Augment the Block Content section with references to named blocks
• [Guides] Augment Patterns for Components with prose on named blocks?

Just wanted to say that the named blocks design is awesome! 🥇
