Linter for Ember or Handlebars templates
Role in this project:Front-end Developer
Front-end DeveloperContributions:6 commits, 2 PRs, 2 comments in 1 year 10 months
Contributions summary:Pablo focused on improving the functionality and robustness of the Ember template linter. Their primary contribution was adding a new rule (`no-unbalanced-curlies`) to catch errors related to incorrect curly brace usage within Ember templates. This involved writing the rule logic, creating corresponding unit tests, and adjusting the code to cover various edge cases, ultimately improving the accuracy and reliability of the template linting process. They also addressed some edge cases by covering good cases with newlines in the expression.
