RFC #0236 - Tracking for Ember.String deprecation

Champion: @locks

Expand for Instructions

All teams need to consider a merged RFC to plan any required work. Each team should comment on or edit this with links to issues for the work (or a note to the effect of "No work required").

See the README for more information
See #3 for an example

Under each team, for each repo requiring work for the RFC under that team:
### [repo name](repo url)

- [ ] (issue or pr) description, (issue or pr) link

Remove Repos that do not apply, conversely, there will probably be other repos that need work and should be added.

Misc

• investigate if we should build a codemod for moving people off of the Ember.String prototype extension

Ember.js Team

• ember.js
  • Deprecate loc entirely (should be replaced with e.g. ember-intl) (PR)
  • Deprecate String.prototype extensions (PR)
  • Deprecate Ember.String namespace (deprecates importing from @ember/string without the addon installed) (PR)
  • Deprecate importing isHtmlSafe and htmlSafe from @ember/string (done via linting)
• @ember/string
  • extract addon
  • publish to npm
  • deprecate loc
  • Don't include duplicated code (?)
  • publish 2.0 without loc (PR)

Ember CLI Team

• ember-cli-babel
  • blacklist @ember/string if present
• babel-plugin-ember-modules-api-polyfill
  • make it aware of @ember/string
• ember-rfc176-data
  • Move htmlSafe and isHTMLSafe to @ember/template

Ember Data Team

• ember-data
  • add @ember/string as a dependency [PR]
  • potentially remove usages of @ember/string?

Learning Team

• deprecation-app
  • add entry for loc deprecation (PR)
  • add entry for prototype extension deprecation (PR)
  • add entry for Ember.String deprecation (deprecates importing from @ember/string without the addon installed)

Steering Committee

No work required.

FYI: Effective as of Ember 3.25, importing isHtmlSafe and htmlSafe from @ember/string has now been formally deprecated in the code (emberjs/ember.js#19339) and in the deprecation app (ember-learn/deprecation-app#758).
