library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

The `ember-cli-ic-ajax` package is an Ember CLI addon designed to integrate the `ic-ajax` library into an Ember.js application, making its functionality available within the `vendor.js` build output. `ic-ajax` itself serves as an Ember-friendly wrapper around jQuery's `$.ajax` method, primarily created to provide RSVP promises for asynchronous operations and to simplify AJAX testing through fixture support. This package represents an approach to AJAX management prevalent in earlier Ember ecosystems, preceding the widespread adoption of native `fetch` API or the official `ember-ajax` service (which is now also deprecated in favor of `ember-fetch`). The current stable version, 1.0.0, was released approximately 10 years ago, and both `ember-cli-ic-ajax` and its underlying `ic-ajax` library are no longer actively maintained. Developers should consider modern alternatives like `ember-fetch` for new projects or migrating existing ones, as this package is effectively abandoned.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

request

✓ import { request } from 'ic-ajax';

✗ const request = require('ic-ajax').request;

While older Ember CLI setups might have relied on globals, modern Ember (even when using old libraries) prefers explicit ESM imports. The `ic-ajax` library itself ships with AMD/CJS/Global support.

ajax

✓ import ajax from 'ic-ajax';

✗ const ajax = require('ic-ajax');

This provides the default export which is the `ic.ajax` object, allowing calls like `ajax.request()`.

ic.ajax

✓ const { request } = window.ic.ajax; // or Ember.$.ajax for jQuery compatibility

✗ import { ic.ajax } from 'ic-ajax';

For very old Ember CLI applications where `ic-ajax` was globally exposed via `vendor.js`, direct access to `window.ic.ajax` or `ic.ajax` was common. This pattern is not recommended in modern Ember.

Demonstrates fetching data using `ic-ajax`'s `request` method within an Ember component, handling success and error states.

import Component from '@ember/component'; import { action } from '@ember/object'; import { request } from 'ic-ajax'; export default class DataFetcherComponent extends Component { message = 'Click button to fetch data'; data = null; @action async fetchData() { this.set('message', 'Fetching data...'); try { const response = await request('/api/data', { method: 'GET', dataType: 'json' }); this.set('data', response); this.set('message', 'Data fetched successfully!'); } catch (error) { console.error('AJAX Error:', error); this.set('message', `Failed to fetch data: ${error.message || error.statusText}`); } } }

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe `ember-cli-ic-ajax` addon and its underlying `ic-ajax` library are abandoned and have not been updated for approximately 10 years. They are incompatible with modern Ember.js features, best practices, and JavaScript ecosystems.

fix

Migrate to `ember-fetch`, `ember-ajax-fetch`, or native `fetch` for AJAX operations. For Ember Data integration, use the built-in adapter mechanisms or a modern network adapter.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaRelies on jQuery for its AJAX implementation. Modern Ember applications increasingly reduce their reliance on jQuery. If jQuery is not available or is removed, `ic-ajax` will fail.

fix

Ensure jQuery is present in your Ember application's build, or preferably, migrate to a modern AJAX solution that does not depend on jQuery.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotcha`ic-ajax` (and by extension `ember-cli-ic-ajax`) is incompatible with Ember's FastBoot server-side rendering, as it directly uses browser-specific jQuery `$.ajax` methods.

fix

For FastBoot-compatible AJAX, use `ember-fetch` or `ember-ajax-fetch`, which provide isomorphic solutions for both browser and Node.js environments.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe primary `ember-ajax` addon, which was a successor to `ic-ajax`, is also now deprecated in favor of `ember-fetch` or `ember-ajax-fetch`.

fix

Avoid using `ember-cli-ic-ajax` and its direct successors. Prioritize `ember-fetch` or `ember-ajax-fetch` for new development.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

`ic-ajax` is a wrapper around jQuery's `$.ajax` method, and this error indicates jQuery is not loaded or available in the global scope.

fix

Ensure jQuery is correctly included in your Ember application's build process. In modern Ember CLI, this typically involves ensuring `ember-cli-jquery` or similar is installed and configured, or explicitly importing `jquery` if tree-shaken.

Error: Could not find module `ic-ajax` imported from `(unknown entry)`

This error occurs when the `ic-ajax` module cannot be resolved by Ember CLI's module loader, often due to improper installation, a missing `app.import` statement for older addons, or attempting to import a globally exposed library as a module.

fix

Verify that `ember-cli-ic-ajax` is installed correctly via `npm install --save-dev ember-cli-ic-ajax`. If using an older Ember CLI setup, check `ember-cli-build.js` for `app.import('bower_components/ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js', { exports: { 'ic-ajax': ['default', 'request', 'raw', 'defineFixture', 'lookupFixture'] } });` or similar configuration if not handled automatically by the addon blueprint.
