EmberApp specific helper for an upgradeable default brocfile.

[stefanpenner]

It has been a common pain point during upgrades, also a little intimidating for early users.

The goal for this is not to hide broccoli, as custom usage should not be discouraged.
Anything reasonable that now cannot be done should be considered a bugfix.

Most if not all features should still be available

Please note, as we improve our add-on story the legacyFilesToAppend + ignoredModules + ignoredModules should vanish.

• bring back validation
• finish
• feedback
• bugfixes
• website docs
• changelog entry

Likely what it would look like today (without the addon work)

/* global require, module */

var env = require('broccoli-env').getEnv();
var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
var push = Array.prototype.push;

var app = new EmberApp(env, {
  name: require('./package.json').name,

  legacyFilesToAppend: [
    'jquery.js',
    'handlebars.js',
    'ember.js',
    'ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js',
    'ember-data.js',
    'app-shims.js',
    'ember-resolver.js',
    'ember-load-initializers.js',
    'emberfire.js'
  ],

  // AKA whitelisted modules
  ignoredModules: [
    'ember',
    'ember/resolver',
    'ember/load-initializers',
    'ic-ajax'
  ],

 whitelistedImports: {
    // ... again, we don't get enough information from our plugins yet, to do this automatically.
  }
  // hack
  getEnvJSON: require('./config/environment')
});

if (env !== 'production') {
  push.apply(app.ignoredModules, [
    'qunit',
    'ember-qunit'
  ]);

  push.apply(app.legacyFilesToAppend, [
    'qunit/qunit/qunit.js',
    'test-shims.js',
    'ember-qunit/dist/named-amd/main.js'
  ]);
}

module.exports = app.toTree();

Once we have a better add-on solution it will eventually look more like:

var env = require('broccoli-env').getEnv();
var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');

module.exports = new EmberApp(env, {
  name: require('./package.json').name,
  getEnvJSON: require('./config/environment') // hack for now
});

Could we add this to the prototype to make it easier to use from custom trees (and possible override)?

[stefanpenner]

nah, I consider this still a hack. Once we have a proper solution for this, i will expose that.

@stefanpenner - Excellent work here. From all of our users everywhere: Thank you!

[stefanpenner]

@rjackson I hope this to be a foundation for us to iterate on.
