Is there a way in Ember to configure a custom REST url for a specific Model?
Like with this model:
App.Post = DS.Model.extend({
title: DS.attr('string'),
comments: DS.hasMany('App.Comment')
});
App.Comment = DS.Model.extend({
content: DS.attr('string'),
post: DS.belongsTo('App.Post')
});
And this Store:
app.Store = DS.Store.extend({
revision : 11,
adapter : DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
namespace : 'rest'
})
});
I want that the comments are retrieved via /rest/post/{id}/comments instead of /rest/comments which is the default behaviour.
Is it possible to configure a rest-url for one specific Model?
You can register an additional adapter and 'scope' it to your model.
App.Store.registerAdapter('App.Post', DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
url: "/rest/post/"
}));
Is this for literally just for one model across your entire app or is this the default "hasMany" uri that your REST backend uses? I ask because my api (django rest framework) uses this exact uri and it required a full blown pull request on the ember-data project because to build the URL the adapter needs the related "parent" or "owner" (something rails devs never needed so it didn't exist).
I would write your own adapter (just subclass the base adapter so you only override the single hasMany that is different). The method I wrote for my adapter is below and here is my full blown adapter for reference.

findMany: function(store, type, ids, parent) {
var json = {}
, root = this.rootForType(type)
, plural = this.pluralize(root)
, ids = this.serializeIds(ids)
, url = this.buildFindManyUrlWithParent(store, type, ids, parent);
this.ajax(url, "GET", {
success: function(pre_json) {
json[plural] = pre_json;
Ember.run(this, function(){
this.didFindMany(store, type, json);
});
}
});
},
