+until: 7.0.0
+since: 6.5.0

+
+With the introduction of native class syntax in JavaScript, Ember is deprecating its classic class syntax, which includes `extend`, `reopen`, and `reopenClass`. This guide will help you migrate your code to the modern syntax.
+
+### `extend`
+
+The `extend` method was used to create a new class that inherited from a parent class. This can be replaced with the `class` and `extends` keywords in native JavaScript.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```javascript
+import EmberObject from '@ember/object';
+
+const MyComponent = EmberObject.extend({
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```javascript
+import EmberObject from '@ember/object';
+
+class MyComponent extends EmberObject {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+### `reopen`
+
+The `reopen` method was used to modify an existing class by adding new properties and methods. This is a risky pattern because it modifies the class for all consumers, which can lead to unexpected behavior. There is no direct replacement for `reopen`. Instead, you should refactor your code to avoid modifying classes at runtime. If you must add functionality, consider using composition or creating a subclass.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```javascript
+import MyComponent from './my-component';
+
+MyComponent.reopen({
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+There is no direct replacement for `reopen`. You should refactor your code to avoid this pattern. If you need to add functionality, consider creating a subclass:
+
+```javascript
+import MyComponent from './my-component';
+
+class ExtendedComponent extends MyComponent {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+### `reopenClass`
+
+The `reopenClass` method was used to add static properties and methods to a class. This can be replaced with the `static` keyword in native JavaScript.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```javascript
+import MyComponent from './my-component';
+
+MyComponent.reopenClass({
+  isMyComponent: true,
+});
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```javascript
+import EmberObject from '@ember/object';
+
+class MyComponent extends EmberObject {
+  static isMyComponent = true;
+}
+```
