Deprecation Guide for Computed Property Volatility

NOTE: There is a bug in Native Getters in 3.9 that was fixed in 3.10. To upgrade to 3.9 directly, just add this to your deprecation workflow, and make the recommended fixes when you move to 3.10 or beyond.

.volatile() is a computed property modifier which makes a computed property recalculate every time it is accessed, instead of caching. It also prevents property notifications from ever occuring on the property, which is generally not the behavior that developers are after. Volatile properties are usually used to simulate the behavior of native getters, which means that they would otherwise behave like normal properties.

To update, use native getters directly instead:

Before:

const Person = EmberObject.extend({
  fullName: computed(function() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }).volatile()
});

After:

const Person = EmberObject.extend({
  get fullName() {
    return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
  }
});
