Turning Glimmer Component into a generic class about glimmer.js HOT 6 CLOSED

This sounds like an interesting idea 👍 I think the best way to get this going is to create a PR. Furthermore the core-devs are very active in the Slack Channel, maybe you can get in touch with them there too.

What are the advantages over typing args in the class itself?

E.g.

class MyComponent extends Component {
  args: {
    example: number;
  }
}

@t-sauer I didn't know that it is possible to define args when there is already a get args(). I need to test if this wouldn't change behavior. If it works I also like your solution since its less overhead to write. I'm not sure which version is more sound. But type check handlebar templates, as well as code completion and IntelliSense in templates, would be a very nice feature 😃

@tschoartschi what is the relationship between generic Component and template completion?

from glimmer.js.

@locks to be honest, I don't know. I think the idea of @dkundel sounds great and he mentioned that we could write an extension for type checking on templates. So I think it's better to ask @dkundel directly. But improving the dev-experience for templates would be awesome. This is why I wanted to start a discussion on this issue.

Hey! It wouldn't be something that we would get directly out of the box but it would help setting the foundation for it. It would require Glimmer to have its own language server similar to @angular/language-server. The result could be an extension similar to this one for Angular and VS Code. It shows the concept pretty nicely.

I'll see if I can get a PR for the generic part done in the next two weeks :) holidays and stuff ^^
