Mastering the Art of Forms
summary
Shows how to refactor bulky form components into small composable pieces using contextual components, turning ~62 lines of template logic into about eight lines of composition and standardizing label/input APIs. Uses an in-component data fetch for option lists with retry logic (willRender plus a task, threshold five) via ember-concurrency, and validates at the appropriate layer using ember-cp-validations. Recommends Ember Data as a client-side facade (unloadRecord after save) and stresses accessible labels, required attributes, logical tabbing, and clear error messages.
