feat: Add ember-template-lint-plugin-warp-drive with always-use-request-content rule

Open Copilot opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

This PR introduces a new ember-template-lint plugin that lints against using the <Request> component's :content block without consuming the actual request result, which often indicates an anti-pattern where the result is being indirectly consumed by accessing the resource in the store via other means.

What's Added

  • New package: packages/ember-template-lint-plugin-warp-drive
  • New rule: always-use-request-content that validates proper usage of <Request> component's content blocks

Rule Behavior

The rule flags the following problematic patterns:

Content block without yielded parameters:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  <:content>Hello World</:content>
</Request>

Content block with unused yielded parameters:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  <:content as |result|>Hello World</:content>
</Request>

Using default content instead of named blocks:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  Hello World
</Request>

No blocks at all:

<Request @request={{@request}} />

Allowed Patterns

Content block that uses the yielded result:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  <:content as |result|>{{result.data.name}}</:content>
</Request>

Content block using state parameter:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  <:content as |result state|>Online: {{state.isOnline}}</:content>
</Request>

Using other named blocks without content:

<Request @request={{@request}}>
  <:loading>Loading...</:loading>
  <:error as |error|>{{error.message}}</:error>
  <:idle>Waiting</:idle>
</Request>

Usage

Add the plugin to your .template-lintrc.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['ember-template-lint-plugin-warp-drive'],
  extends: ['ember-template-lint-plugin-warp-drive:recommended'],
};

Or configure the rule individually:

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['ember-template-lint-plugin-warp-drive'],
  rules: {
    'always-use-request-content': true,
  },
};

Implementation Details

  • AST-based detection: Properly parses Handlebars/Glimmer template AST to identify named blocks vs default content
  • Variable usage analysis: Traverses the template AST to detect if yielded parameters are actually referenced
  • Flexible parameter support: Allows using either the result parameter (first) or state parameter (second) or both
  • Comprehensive test coverage: 43 tests covering all usage patterns and edge cases

Fixes #10058.

Things to fix:

Package Setup

  • Set up eslint. Can use packages/eslint-plugin-warp-drive as an example: https://github.com/emberjs/data/tree/main/packages/eslint-plugin-warp-drive
  • Add these keywords to your plugin's package.json file to make it easy for others to find: ember-template-lint ember-template-lint-plugin
  • Package license should be copied from https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/main/packages/eslint-plugin-warp-drive/LICENSE.md
  • Remove changelog as it will be auto-generated during release

Documentation

  • format README and rule documentation like the eslint plugin: e.g. README, docs for each rule in a /docs folder

Tests

  • Use ESM format for tests as shown in the ember-template-lint plugin docs: https://github.com/ember-template-lint/ember-template-lint/blob/master/docs/plugins.md#rule-tests . You shouldn't need mocha or chai. verifyResults doesn't appear to be defined. Follow the example in the linked docs! The actual test cases look good though.

General

  • CI failures. Looks like you didn't pnpm install? Did you actually run the tests?
