An Ember Data adapter for Sails.js v0.9. This package contains 2 Adapters, DS.SailsSocketAdapter and DS.SailsRESTAdapter.

bower install ember-data-sails-adapter

<script type="text/javascript" src="/bower_components/ember-data-sails-adapter/ember-data-sails-adapter.js"></script>

The SailsSocketAdapter uses Sails's websocket support to find, create and delete records. This has the benifit of automatically subscribing to the Sails' update, create and delete events for for the model. The adapter will add or update records in the store when a Sails emits an update, create and delete event.

App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsSocketAdapter.extend({
    namespace: '/api/v1',
    log: false,
    modelNameMap: {
      userprofile: 'UserProfile'
    }
});

The SailsRESTAdapter works similarly to the Ember RESTAdapter. The main differences are this adapter automatically attempts to use the JSONSerializer instead of the RESTSerializer because it more closely matches the JSON response from Sails. Additionally it will re-format the error messages returned by Sails to match the format that Ember Data expects. With the SailsRESTAdapter you will not get the live updateing that comes with the SailsSocketAdapter. However, because websockets do not support compression using the SailsRESTAdapter may be benificial when you are expecting a large response from the Sails api.

App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsRESTAdapter.extend({
    namespace: '/api/v1'
});

In Sails v0.9, the SailsSocketAdapter and SailsRESTAdapter both work best using the JSONSerializer. As a result of a bug in the stock JSONSerializer it is recommend that you create an ApplicationSerializer by extending the JSONSerializer like in the example below.

App.ApplicationSerializer = DS.JSONSerializer.extend({
  // Fix broken extractArray see:
  // https://github.com/emberjs/data/pull/1479
  extractArray: function(store, type, arrayPayload) {
    var serializer = this;
    return map.call(arrayPayload, function(singlePayload) {
      return serializer.extractSingle(store, type, singlePayload);
    });
  },
  // Allow JSONSerializer to work with RESTAdapter
  // https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/7e83ed158034cf7fedf2a7113a82de5d5ce67e76/packages/ember-data/lib/adapters/rest_adapter.js#L379
  serializeIntoHash: function(hash, type, record, options) {
    Ember.merge(hash, this.serialize(record, options));
  }
});

The options below are for the SailsSocketAdapter. To see a list of options for the SailsRESTAdapter see the RESTAdapter docs.

Type: String Default value: ''

The prefix to add to the request uris.

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Set to true if you would like to see a log of all requests in the command line.

Type: Object Default value: {}

Used to map lowercase model names that sails uses to model names that ember can understand.
