Delete JSON root element for POST/PUT operations in Ember Data

Question

I\'m consuming a web service that in POST/PUT verbs expects a JSON like this:

{
    \"id\":\"CACTU\",
    \"companyName\": \"Cactus Comidas para llevar\",
    \

You'll want to override one of the serialize methods, I think serializeIntoHash might work:

App.CustomerSerializer = DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
  serializeIntoHash: function(hash, type, record, options) {
    Ember.merge(hash, this.serialize(record, options));
  }
});

This is instead of the normal serializeIntoHash which looks like this:

  serializeIntoHash: function(hash, type, record, options) {
    hash[type.typeKey] = this.serialize(record, options);
  }
