We have 5+ ember.js projects. I've extracted all common features as an addon. Other projects depend my addon with package.json (as npm module).

I want to do some post-processing after my addon upgraded on any project (via npm install). I need to do such processing:

  • Override /app/styles.css file.
  • Override router.js
  • Put some files on /translations directory.

Is there any hook to do these? Is there any documentation for hooks?

The (npm documentation) provides information about the scripts field of package.json. You could use install or postinstall to run an arbitrary script, which processes your desired changes.

What we did:

  • Override /app/styles.css file: We are not using app/styles files. We created a bower addon to keep our styles. In our ember addon's index.js file, there is a hook called included(app). We use app.import calls to place our styles to the apps.
  • Override router.js: We are not overriding router.js. Modification needs occur very rarely. So we announce it on our releases if any modification is needed.
  • Put some files on /translations directory: After upgrading ember-intl#2.8. We will not need to modify /translations directory.
