copied!<p>So I'm having (what i think is) a general problem w/ Ember-data. I'm wondering how to properly customize the adapter to adapt to the following situation.</p> <p>Pretend I have two objects: <code>Post</code> and <code>Tag</code></p> <p>Calling <code>App.Post.find()</code> returns all the posts by <code>GET</code>ing <code>api.com/posts</code>, <code>App.Post.find(1)</code> is found at <code>api.com/posts/1</code>. This is good.</p> <p><code>App.Tag.find()</code> will return all the tags that are available at <code>api.com/tags</code>. <code>App.Tag.find(1)</code> will return the appropriate tag at the correct url. Also good.</p> <p>If I create new Posts via <code>App.Post.createRecord({...})</code> It will <code>POST</code> to the correct url. The same goes for creating <code>Tags</code>. So far everything is dandy.</p> <p><code>Tags</code> on a <code>Post</code> are embedded because they are "on" that post.</p> <pre><code>App.Adapter.map("App.Post", { tags: {embedded: 'always'} }); </code></pre> <p>During load, Ember-data does everything right and I'm still super happy.</p> <p>So my problem comes from adding a <code>Tag</code> to a <code>Post</code>. I would like to <code>PUT</code> or <code>POST</code> the tag object to <code>api.com/posts/1/tags</code> where the server will do all the server side things.</p> <p>Currently,</p> <ol> <li><p>Ember-data, with the <code>{embedded: 'always'}</code> config set, will send a <code>PUT</code> to <code>api.com/posts/1</code> with the entire <code>Post</code> object (with new <code>Tag</code> object included) as a JSON stringified string.</p></li> <li><p>Without the <code>{embedded: 'always'}</code> config set, ember-data will try to <code>PUT</code> the tag object to <code>api.com/tags</code> and will send in the <code>Tag</code> object with a <code>post_id</code> parameter so the server side can do all the server side things.</p></li> </ol> <p>I'd rather not do 1 because my server isn't set up that way. I'd rather not do 2 because <code>PUT/POST/GET</code>s on <code>api.com/tags</code> should really be for the "Tag management" portion of my application, and not really applying tags to posts. Another example of this behaviour is in the <a href="http://developer.github.com/v3/issues/labels/#add-labels-to-an-issue" rel="noreferrer">Github v3 API for Labels & Issues</a>.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a way of handling this with ember-data? Thanks!</p>
