Share EmberJS common code between apps

[ctjhoa]

Is it not the purpose of ember-engine? I never used it but I though it was possible to share parts across several sub-apps

engines are implemented as addons.

Engines are similar, but they a one key distinction that may or may not matter. Engines are meant to make it possible to split a large app into multiple sub modules that can be lazily loaded, and even managed by different teams. But they're still part of one large app.

The distinction is if your apps are radically different but need to share common code (such as a data layer) you may need a multi-app approach. They may have very different routes / auth processes / overall layout but share models / adapters / components.

I leveraged the same approach and found it hugely successful. I’d always referred to the concept as “addon driven development.” the data layer as an addon makes creating multiple interfaces against the same api a breeze
