How can I clone an Ember Data record, including relationships?

Question

I\'ve figured out that I can clone an Ember Data record and copy its Attributes, but none of the belongsTo/hasMany relationships are cloned. Can I do t

Answer 1

Here is a clone function that I use. Takes care of the belongs to associations.

 DS.Model.reopen({
   clone: function() {
    var model = this,
        attrs = model.toJSON(),
        class_type = model.constructor;

    var root = Ember.String.decamelize(class_type.toString().split('.')[1]);

    /**
     * Need to replace the belongsTo association ( id ) with the
     * actual model instance.
     *
     * For example if belongsTo association is project, the
     * json value for project will be:  ( project: "project_id_1" )
     * and this needs to be converted to ( project: [projectInstance] )
     *
     */
    this.eachRelationship(function(key, relationship){
      if (relationship.kind == 'belongsTo') {
        attrs[key] = model.get(key)
      }
    })

    return this.store.createRecord(root, attrs).save();
  }

})
