I am very surprised not to get DS models upon generating ember-cli model
ember -v ember-cli: 2.4.3 node: 5.10.1 os: darwin x64 ember g model rental
The new generated code should look like the following,
import Model from 'ember-data/model'; import attr from 'ember-data/attr' ; export default Model.extend({ title: attr('string'), owner: attr('string') });
