Overview of this book

Ember.js is an open source JavaScript framework that will make you more productive. It uses common idioms and practices, making it simple to create amazing single-page applications. It also lets you create code in a modular way using the latest JavaScript features. Not only that, it has a great set of APIs to get any task done. The Ember.js community is welcoming newcomers and is ready to help you when needed. This book provides in-depth explanations on how to use the Ember.js framework to take you from beginner to expert. You’ll start with some basic topics and by the end of the book, you’ll know everything you need to know to build a fully operational Ember application. We’ll begin by explaining key points on how to use the Ember.js framework and the associated tools. You’ll learn how to effectively use Ember CLI and how to create and deploy your application. We’ll take a close look at the Ember object model and templates by examining bindings and observers. We’ll then move onto Ember components, models, and Ember Data. We’ll show you examples on how to connect to RESTful databases. Next we’ll get to grips with testing with integration and acceptance tests using QUnit. We will conclude by covering authentication, services, and Ember add-ons. We’ll explore advanced topics such as services and initializers, and how to use them together to build real-time applications.

Defining an application template

To work with templates, we need to understand the basics on how properties bind with controllers and components. Here are a few recipes that go over how to accomplish this.

Getting ready

Before we get started, we'll need to generate a template.

We'll first create a new application using Ember CLI:
```
$ ember new HelloWorldApp
$ cd HelloWorldApp
```
This command will generate a new application that we can use for this recipe.
Next, create a new route that will add a new template:
```
$ ember g route helloworld
```
This command will generate the template and routes file as well as unit tests. The template file is called helloworld.hbs and will be generated in the app/templates folder. The route file is called helloworld.js and is located in the app/routes folder. The route.js file will also get modified with the new helloworld route. We'll discuss more about routes in Chapter 4, Ember Router.
After this, we'll need to generate a controller:
```
$ ember g controller helloworld
```
