# Move the deprecation workflow library to be installed in apps by default

## Summary

Historically, folks have benefitted from [ember-cli-deprecation-workflow](https://github.com/mixonic/ember-cli-deprecation-workflow). This behavior is _so useful_, that it should be built in to folks applications by default.

## Motivation

Everyone needs a deprecation-workflow, and yet `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow` is not part of the default blueprint.

This RFC proposes how we can ship deprecation workflow handling behavior in apps by default, which may give us a blessed path for better integrating with build time deprecations as well (though that is not the focus of this RFC).


## Detailed design


Have `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow` installed by default.

1. applications must have `@embroider/macros` installed by default.
2. the app.js or app.ts can conditionally import a file which sets up the deprecation workflow
```diff app/app.js
import Application from '@ember/application';
+ import { importSync, isDevelopingApp, macroCondition } from '@embroider/macros';

import loadInitializers from 'ember-load-initializers';
import Resolver from 'ember-resolver';
import config from 'test-app/config/environment';

+ if (macroCondition(isDevelopingApp())) {
+ importSync('./deprecation-workflow');
+ }

export default class App extends Application {
modulePrefix = config.modulePrefix;
podModulePrefix = config.podModulePrefix;
Resolver = Resolver;
}

loadInitializers(App, config.modulePrefix);
```
3. then in `app/deprecation-workflow.js` would use the already public API,
```js
import setupDeprecationWorkflow from 'ember-cli-deprecation-workflow';

setupDeprecationWorkflow({
/**
false by default, but if a developer / team wants to be more aggressive about being proactive with
handling their deprecations, this should be set to "true"
*/
throwOnUnhandled: false,
handlers: [
/* ... handlers ... */
]
});
```


This follows the README of [ember-cli-deprecation-workflow](https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli-deprecation-workflow?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started).



## How we teach this

We'd want to add a new section in the guides under [`Application Concerns`](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/applications/) that talks about deprecations, how and how to work through those deprecations.

All of this content already exists using a similar strategy as above, here, [under "Configuring Ember"](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/configuring-ember/handling-deprecations/#toc_deprecation-workflow), and also walks through how to use `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow`.

This README of [ember-cli-deprecation-workflow](https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli-deprecation-workflow?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started) also explains, in detail, how to use this tool / workflow, and that content can be copied in to the guides.

## Drawbacks

For older projects, this could be _a_ migration. But as it is additional blueprint boilerplate, it is optional.

## Alternatives

There are only a few features of `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow` that we need to worry about:
- enabled or not - do we check deprecations at all, or ignore everything (current default)
- `throwOnUnhandled` - this is the most aggressive way to stay on top of your deprecations, but can be frustrating for folks who may not be willing to fix things in `node_modules` when new deprecations are introduced.

- `window.flushDeprecations()` - prints the list of deprecations encountered since the last page refresh
- Matchers - a fuzzier way to match deprecation messages rather than strictly matching on the deprecation id (sometimes deprecation messages have information about surrounding / relevant context, and these could be used to more fine-grainedly work through large-in-numbers deprecations)
- Logging / Ignoring / Throwing - when encountering a matched deprecation (whether by id or by regex, how should it be handled?)


However, folks can get a basic deprecation-handling workflow going in their apps without the above features,

1. applications must have `@embroider/macros` installed by default.
2. the app.js or app.ts can conditionally import a file which sets up the deprecation workflow
```diff app/app.js
import Application from '@ember/application';
+ import { importSync, isDevelopingApp, macroCondition } from '@embroider/macros';

import loadInitializers from 'ember-load-initializers';
import Resolver from 'ember-resolver';
import config from 'test-app/config/environment';

+ if (macroCondition(isDevelopingApp())) {
+ importSync('./deprecation-workflow');
+ }

export default class App extends Application {
modulePrefix = config.modulePrefix;
podModulePrefix = config.podModulePrefix;
Resolver = Resolver;
}

loadInitializers(App, config.modulePrefix);
```
this conditional import is now easily customizable for folks in their apps, so they could opt to _not_ strip deprecation messages in production, and see where deprecated code is being hit by users (reported via Sentry, BugSnag, or some other reporting tool) -- which may be handy for folks who have a less-than-perfect test suite (tests being the only current way to automatically detect where deprecated code lives).
3. the `app/deprecation-workflow.js` would use the already public API, [`registerDeprecationHandler`](https://api.emberjs.com/ember/5.6/functions/@ember%2Fdebug/registerDeprecationHandler)
```ts
import { registerDeprecationHandler } from '@ember/debug';

import config from '<app-moduleName>/config/environment';

const SHOULD_THROW = config.environment !== 'production';
const SILENCED_DEPRECATIONS: string[] = [
// Add ids of deprecations you temporarily want to silence here.
];

registerDeprecationHandler((message, options, next) => {
if (!options) {
console.error('Missing options');
throw new Error(message);
}

if (SILENCED_DEPRECATIONS.includes(options.id)) {
return;
} else if (SHOULD_THROW) {
throw new Error(message);
}

next(message, options);
});
```


This simple implementation of deprecation workflow may work for libraries' test-apps, but it is not as robust as what `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow` offers, per the above-listed set of features that folks are used to.

To get all of those features from `ember-cli-deprecation-workflow`, we could define a function, `setupDeprecationWorkflow`, taken from the [Modernization PR on ember-cli-deprecation-workflow](https://github.com/mixonic/ember-cli-deprecation-workflow/pull/159), this is what the deprecation-workflow file could look like:

<details><summary>ember-cli-deprecation-workflow/index.js</summary>

```js
import { registerDeprecationHandler } from '@ember/debug';

const LOG_LIMIT = 100;

export default function setupDeprecationWorkflow(config) {
self.deprecationWorkflow = self.deprecationWorkflow || {};
self.deprecationWorkflow.deprecationLog = {
messages: {},
};

registerDeprecationHandler((message, options, next) =>
handleDeprecationWorkflow(config, message, options, next),
);

registerDeprecationHandler(deprecationCollector);

self.deprecationWorkflow.flushDeprecations = flushDeprecations;
}

let preamble = `import setupDeprecationWorkflow from 'ember-cli-deprecation-workflow';

setupDeprecationWorkflow({
workflow: [
`;

let postamble = ` ]
});`;

export function detectWorkflow(config, message, options) {
if (!config || !config.workflow) {
return;
}

let i, workflow, matcher, idMatcher;
for (i = 0; i < config.workflow.length; i++) {
workflow = config.workflow[i];
matcher = workflow.matchMessage;
idMatcher = workflow.matchId;

if (typeof idMatcher === 'string' && options && idMatcher === options.id) {
return workflow;
} else if (typeof matcher === 'string' && matcher === message) {
return workflow;
} else if (matcher instanceof RegExp && matcher.exec(message)) {
return workflow;
}
}
}

export function flushDeprecations() {
let messages = self.deprecationWorkflow.deprecationLog.messages;
let logs = [];

for (let message in messages) {
logs.push(messages[message]);
}

let deprecations = logs.join(',\n') + '\n';

return preamble + deprecations + postamble;
}

export function handleDeprecationWorkflow(config, message, options, next) {
let matchingWorkflow = detectWorkflow(config, message, options);
if (!matchingWorkflow) {
if (config && config.throwOnUnhandled) {
throw new Error(message);
} else {
next(message, options);
}
} else {
switch (matchingWorkflow.handler) {
case 'silence':
// no-op
break;
case 'log': {
let key = (options && options.id) || message;

if (!self.deprecationWorkflow.logCounts) {
self.deprecationWorkflow.logCounts = {};
}

let count = self.deprecationWorkflow.logCounts[key] || 0;
self.deprecationWorkflow.logCounts[key] = ++count;

if (count <= LOG_LIMIT) {
console.warn('DEPRECATION: ' + message);
if (count === LOG_LIMIT) {
console.warn(
'To avoid console overflow, this deprecation will not be logged any more in this run.',
);
}
}

break;
}
case 'throw':
throw new Error(message);
default:
next(message, options);
break;
}
}
}

export function deprecationCollector(message, options, next) {
let key = (options && options.id) || message;
let matchKey = options && key === options.id ? 'matchId' : 'matchMessage';

self.deprecationWorkflow.deprecationLog.messages[key] =
' { handler: "silence", ' + matchKey + ': ' + JSON.stringify(key) + ' }';

next(message, options);
}
```

</details>

and at this point, we may as well build it into `ember` and not use an additional library at all, **and this is what the primary proposal of this RFC: build the deprecation workflow setup function in to ember**, so re-running through the setup steps:

1. applications must have `@embroider/macros` installed by default.
2. the app.js or app.ts can conditionally import a file which sets up the deprecation workflow
```diff app/app.js
import Application from '@ember/application';
+ import { importSync, isDevelopingApp, macroCondition } from '@embroider/macros';

import loadInitializers from 'ember-load-initializers';
import Resolver from 'ember-resolver';
import config from 'test-app/config/environment';

+ if (macroCondition(isDevelopingApp())) {
+ importSync('<app-moduleName>/deprecation-workflow');
+ }

export default class App extends Application {
modulePrefix = config.modulePrefix;
podModulePrefix = config.podModulePrefix;
Resolver = Resolver;
}

loadInitializers(App, config.modulePrefix);
```
this conditional import is now easily customizable for folks in their apps, so they could opt to _not_ strip deprecation messages in production, and see where deprecated code is being hit by users (reported via Sentry, BugSnag, or some other reporting tool) -- which may be handy for folks who have a less-than-perfect test suite (tests being the only current way to automatically detect where deprecated code lives).
3. the `app/deprecation-workflow.js` would use the already public API, [`registerDeprecationHandler`](https://api.emberjs.com/ember/5.6/functions/@ember%2Fdebug/registerDeprecationHandler)
```js
import { setupDeprecationWorkflow } from '@ember/debug';

setupDeprecationWorkflow({
throwOnUnhandled: true,
handlers: [
/* ... handlers ... */
]
});
```
