The release is v1.4.1, with a contribution credited to community member Matt Sumner. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I install EmberFire in an Ember CLI app? Run 'ember install emberfire' from the app directory, which adds Firebase as a dependency in bower.json and generates app/adapters/application.js. Then set the config.firebase variable in config/environment.js to your Firebase URL, and your data syncs automatically with the Ember Data store. EmberFire 1.4.1 works with Ember Data beta-11 through beta-14.x. _daily.dev helps developers wiring up Ember and Firebase track integration updates like this one._ ### How do I query Firebase data by height or another field using findQuery in Ember? EmberFire 1.4.1 added findQuery support so you can call this.store.find with an object specifying orderBy and limitToLast (or limitToFirst) parameters. For example, orderBy 'height' with limitToLast 2 returns the two tallest records in a Firebase collection, letting Ember Data queries map directly onto Firebase's realtime query methods. _Developers building Ember apps on Firebase can follow query-feature updates like findQuery on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#javascript](https://daily.dev/tags/javascript), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase), [#emberjs](https://daily.dev/tags/emberjs) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/new-features-in-emberfire-hmo3rggyh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"New Features in EmberFire","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/new-features-in-emberfire-hmo3rggyh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/new-features-in-emberfire-hmo3rggyh"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:18:23.084Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:33:20.689Z","description":"EmberFire, the official Firebase bindings for Ember.js, gained two major features: improved Ember CLI support (installable as a CLI addon with auto-initialized...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/new-features-in-emberfire-hmo3rggyh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"javascript,firebase,emberjs","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"New Features in EmberFire"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/new-features-in-emberfire-hmo3rggyh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I install EmberFire in an Ember CLI app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Run 'ember install emberfire' from the app directory, which adds Firebase as a dependency in bower.json and generates app/adapters/application.js.
