ember data serializer data mapping

Question

I\'m using ember & ember-data to try and consume a json feed from the server. Here is my code:

App = Ember.Application.create();

DS.RESTAdapter.configur         


        

Answer 1

You have 2 options

• make your server compatible, and let it returns the json as ember data expects it,
• write your own adapter/serializer to support this format.

UPDATE: write your own serializer UPDATE 2: get rid of unused functions

https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/packages/ember-data/lib/serializers/json_serializer.js#L196

You can inherit from the DS.RESTSerializer and change extract with this code

  extract: function(loader, json, type, record) {
    var root = 'data';

    if (json[root]) {
      if (record) { loader.updateId(record, json[root]); }
      this.extractRecordRepresentation(loader, type, json[root]);
    }
  }

This assumes that the content of request will always be under the data key of your json.
