Function trackedFunction

An example utilty that uses [[resource]]

Any tracked data accessed in a tracked function before an await will "entangle" with the function -- we can call these accessed tracked properties, the "tracked prelude". If any properties within the tracked payload change, the function will re-run.

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
import { trackedFunction }  from 'ember-resources/util/function';

class Demo extends Component {
  @tracked id = 1;

  request = trackedFunction(this, async () => {
    let response = await fetch(`https://swapi.dev/api/people/${this.id}`);
    let data = await response.json();

    return data; // { name: 'Luke Skywalker', ... }
  });

  updateId = (event) => this.id = event.target.value;

  // Renders "Luke Skywalker"
  <template>
    {{this.request.value.name}}

    <input value={{this.id}} {{on 'input' this.updateId}}>
  </template>
}

Note, this example uses the proposed <template> syntax from the First-Class Component Templates RFC

Also note that after an await, the this context should not be accessed as it could lead to destruction/timing issues.
