Why prefer Ember.$() vs $()

I see that on lot of Ember-cli projects jQuery is called with Ember.$() instead of $().

Is there a specific reason?

Generally, it's best to use this.$ within your controller, view, or component so that way the element selection stays within the scope of the component.

But if you must access jQuery not bound to a particular element, Ember.$ is the safer way, especially if you're dealing with some of the global jQuery queues, like pending ajax requests. Using Ember.$ you're using the jQuery that's included with ember and not some other instance of JQuery.

Usually Ember has been imported already, and by using Ember.$ you avoid referencing a global dependency. It's not actually that great an idea, and you can actually import jQuery directly.

// you can name the import `$` is you do desire
import jQuery from 'jquery';

jQuery()

Do note, there is a difference between Ember.$() and this.$(). The this version within components is the equivalent of jQuery(this.element).
