Update on studying ember to write discourse plugins:
Basically, ember is a lot like other JS web dev frameworks including VueJS; and I'm already familiar with VueJS because I redesigned the usercp experience in the old forums using VueJS a while back.
Since Discourse is based on ember, I started to learn the basics of ember so I could easily write plugins for Discourse. However, the documentation on this (on the Discourse side) is very sketchy, and their advise is "read the code".
So, being a cooperative team player (
) , I have read a lot of Discourse plugin code (
)
, read all the tutorials on the meta site about plugins (
) , and have created a number of ember tutorial apps on my desktop (
) .
Still, I am as confused (
) as ever as to exactly where "ember ends" and "discourse begins".
The answer to this problem at meta is "read the code", so I guess I will keep reading Discourse and discourse plugin source code until I finally can understand where the system interfaces are.
Working and studying more emberjs tutorials seems to be not the best use of my time at the moment, because whatever I create in the ember-cli framework does not work in the discourse framework.

Excellent tutorial by Robin Ward (eviltrout), co-founder of Discourse on using the Chrome Ember Inspector:
How to debug an Ember.js application (2014)
Watch this video (especially the Q&A at the end) to understand more about Discourse:
This Medium tutorial was OK:
However, I had to change this line in the tutorial:
gem “ember-cli-rails”
to this:
gem 'ember-cli-rails', '~> 0.10.0'
and I could not get this final "getting embers up and running" part to work after this line:
And finally let’s configure rails routes file,
Rails.application.routes.draw do mount_ember_app :ember-frontend, to: "/" end```
So, I'm still not "there" with this tutorial.
Still trying to understand this high level architecture better:
redis basics for dummies
Better ... sidekiq, redis, rails
More sidekiq, redis
