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

I don't know exactly when this was added, but you can just tell Ember-Data that the primaryKey is _id:

DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  serializer: DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
    primaryKey: '_id'
  })
});
