I need to save a deep object to the server all at once and haven\'t been able to find any examples online that use the latest ember data (1.0.0-beta.4).
For example,
I needed a deep object, instead of a side-loaded one, so based on kingpin2k's answer, I came up with this:
DS.JSONSerializer.reopen({
serializeHasMany: function(record, json, relationship) {
var key = relationship.key,
property = Ember.get(record, key),
relationshipType = DS.RelationshipChange.determineRelationshipType(record.constructor, relationship);
if (property && relationshipType === 'manyToNone' || relationshipType === 'manyToMany' ||
relationshipType === 'manyToOne') {
// Add each serialized nested object
json[key] = [];
property.forEach(function(item, index){
json[key].push(item.serialize());
});
}
}
});
Now when you call child.serialize()
, it will return this object:
{
child: {
name: "Herbert",
toys: [
{
name: 'Kazoo'
}
]
}
}
Which is what I need. Here's the jsfiddle with it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/jgillick/LNXyp/8/
