ember-data-save-relationships

NOTE: I have taken over maintenance from frank06/ember-data-save-relationships

------

Include this mixin in your serializers and it will save your hasMany and belongsTo relationships' records.

For example:

``javascript
// app/serializers/artist.js

import JSONAPISerializer from 'ember-data/serializers/json-api';
import SaveRelationshipsMixin from 'ember-data-save-relationships';

export default JSONAPISerializer.extend(SaveRelationshipsMixin, {
attrs: {
albums: { serialize: true }
}
});
`

Now an Artist payload may include attributes like:

`javascript
data: {
id: null,
type: "artist",
attributes: {
name: "Radiohead"
},
relationships: {
albums: {
data: [
{
id: null,
type: "albums",
attributes: {
name: "Kid A",
__id__: "0internal-model"
}
}
]
}
}
}
`

Installation

* npm install --save-dev 'laborvoices/ember-data-save-relationships#master'

Notes

- A temporary ID (__id__) will be sent along with the relationship's data attributes. Your server API must return this attribute intact along with a proper id after saving the relationship records:
`
{
data: {
id: "1",
type: 'albums',
attributes: { name: "Kid A"},
relationships: {
artists: {
data: {
id: "1",
type: "artists",
attributes: {
name: "Radiohead XXXX",
__id__: internalId
}
}
}
}
}
}
`
Or it may alternatively be returned using the included array:
`
{
data: {
id: "1",
type: 'albums',
attributes: { name: "Kid A"},
relationships: {
artists: {
data: {
id: "1",
type: "artists"
}
}
}
},

included: [
{
id: "1",
type: "artists",
attributes: {
name: "Radiohead XXXX",
__id__: internalId
}
}
]
}
`
- Calling serialize: true on cyclic dependencies will result in a stack overflow
- At this point in time, if your server returns updated attributes`, these will not be updated in the Ember Data store
