Example Project for Nested Models

It has generally been difficult to deal with nested API urls from within an Ember Data model. This repo is simply a testing ground to determine how to use links within a custom adapter to allow the nested API URL's to be used.

How does it work?

I have created a custom adapter that you can inherit from, and add a buildRecordURL function that returns the url for your nested API call.

The magic happens in config/adapters/nested_url.es6.erb, which overrides the default createRecord, deleteRecord, and updateRecord hooks with ones that will call buildURL and pass the record into it.

This allows us to override the buildURL to check for a buildRecordURL method, which we call if it exists. If you do not provide a buildRecordURL then the standard buildURL is called, and the normal ED url scheme is used.

How do I use it?

1. Include the nested_url adapter in your project.
2. Inherit from it for your nested models.
3. Define a buildRecordURL method that returns the URL needed for create/update/delete.

For an example see config/adapters/comment.es6.
