I originally planned to add component documentation, but as this dragged on and I found that JSDoc-to-Markdown sometimes needed hand-tuning, I decided to skip it and focus on replicating what was already present in Freestyle. Adding documentation is a finite task that can be revisited in the future.
My goal was to migrate everything from Freestyle with as few changes as possible. Some adaptations that I found necessary:
• the DelayedArray and DelayedTruth utilities that delay component rendering until slightly after initial render because without them:
◦ charts were rendering with zero width
◦ the JSON viewer was rendering with empty content
• Storybook in Ember renders components in a routerless/controllerless context by default, so some component stories needed changes:
◦ table pagination/sorting stories access to query params, which necessitates some reaching into Ember internals to start routing and dynamically generate a Storybook route/controller to render components into
◦ some stories have a faux controller as part of their Storybook context that hosts setInterval-linked dynamic computed properties
• some jiggery-pokery with anchor tags
◦ inert href='#' had to become href='javascript:;
◦ links that are actually meant to navigate need target='_parent' so they don’t navigate inside the Storybook iframe
Maybe some of these could be addressed by fixes in ember-cli-storybook but I’m wary of digging around in there any more than I already have, as I’ve lost a lot of time to Storybook confusion and frustrations already 😞
The STORYBOOK=true environment variable tweaks some environment settings to get things working as expected in the Storybook context.
I chose to:
• use angle bracket invocation within stories rather than have to migrate them soon after having moved to Storybook
• keep Freestyle around for now for its palette and typeface components
There are two changes here, and some caveats/commentary:
1. The “State“ table column was actually sorting only by status. The state was not an actual property, just something calculated in each client row, as a product of status, isEligible, and isDraining. This PR adds isDraining as a component of compositeState so it can be used for sorting.
2. The Sortable mixin declares dependent keys that cause the sort to be live-updating, but only if the members of the array change, such as if a new client is added, but not if any of the sortable properties change. This PR adds a SortableFactory function that generates a mixin whose listSorted computed property includes dependent keys for the sortable properties, so the table will live-update if any of the sortable properties change, not just the array members. There’s a warning if you use SortableFactory without dependent keys and via the original Sortable interface, so we can eventually migrate away from it.
As the angle bracket invocation RFC says:
> There is no dedicated syntax for passing an "else" block
> directly. If needed, that can be passed using the named
> blocks syntax.

Unfortunately, using a contextual component doesn’t help as
the yield inside that component will still result in content
rendering that would show when the source isn’t empty. So
we decided to change the interface so you have to check
whether the source is empty before using it, which aligns with
how list-table works.
This is mostly deprecation fixes and blueprint changes. There
are some dependency updates too; the changes to Ember
Basic Dropdown necessitated changing it to angle bracket
component invocation. The conversion of the rest of the
templates will happen separately.
The new streaming-file component takes an arbitrary logger component
along with some mode flags and handles things like polling, DOM updates,
and scroll position.
The draining, eligibility, and status fields now all show under a combined
state column. Draining takes precedence, then (in)eligibility; if neither of
those is true, the status displays.
