Ember-data and MongoDB, how to handle _id

Question

I\'m using ember-data with rails and MongoDB and am having problem with the way IDs are stored in MongoDB - in a _id field.

Ember-data will use id as the default field f

Answer 1

Ahh, instead of including _id in your JSON, you could craft the JSON to instead use the id method rather than the _id attribute. Ways:

You could use rabl, and the JSON could be like:

object @user 
attributes :id, :email
node(:full_name) {|user| "#{user.first_name} #{user.last_name}"}

You could also craft the as_json method

class User
  def as_json(args={})
    super args.merge(:only => [:email], :methods => [:id, :full_name])
  end
end
