Events
_create
private
static
Alias DS.Model's create
method to _create
. This allows us to create DS.Model
instances from within the store, but if end users accidentally call create()
(instead of createRecord()
), we can raise an error.
_debugInfo
private
Provides info about the model for debugging purposes by grouping the properties into more semantic groups.
Meant to be used by debugging tools such as the Chrome Ember Extension.
- Groups all attributes in "Attributes" group.
- Groups all belongsTo relationships in "Belongs To" group.
- Groups all hasMany relationships in "Has Many" group.
- Groups all flags in "Flags" group.
- Flags relationship CPs as expensive properties.
adapterDidCommit
If the adapter did not return a hash in response to a commit, merge the changed attributes and relationships into the existing saved data.
adapterDidDirty
private
adapterDidError
private
adapterDidInvalidate
private
adapterWillCommit
private
belongsToDidChange
(record, key)
private
static
Parameters:
- record
- key
belongsToWillChange
(record, key)
private
static
Parameters:
- record
- key
changedAttributes
Object
Returns an object, whose keys are changed properties, and value is an [oldProp, newProp] array.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
App.Mascot = DS.Model.extend({ name: attr('string') }); var person = store.createRecord('person'); person.changedAttributes(); // {} person.set('name', 'Tomster'); person.changedAttributes(); // {name: [undefined, 'Tomster']} |
Returns:
- Object
- an object, whose keys are changed properties, and value is an [oldProp, newProp] array.
clearRelationships
private
create
private
static
Override the class' create()
method to raise an error. This
prevents end users from inadvertently calling create()
instead
of createRecord()
. The store is still able to create instances
by calling the _create()
method. To create an instance of a
DS.Model
use store.createRecord.
deleteRecord
Marks the record as deleted but does not save it. You must call
save
afterwards if you want to persist it. You might use this
method if you want to allow the user to still rollback()
a
delete after it was made.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
App.ModelDeleteRoute = Ember.Route.extend({ actions: { softDelete: function() { this.get('model').deleteRecord(); }, confirm: function() { this.get('model').save(); }, undo: function() { this.get('model').rollback(); } } }); |
destroyRecord
Promise
Same as deleteRecord
, but saves the record immediately.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
App.ModelDeleteRoute = Ember.Route.extend({ actions: { delete: function() { var controller = this.controller; this.get('model').destroyRecord().then(function() { controller.transitionToRoute('model.index'); }); } } }); |
Returns:
- Promise
- a promise that will be resolved when the adapter returns successfully or rejected if the adapter returns with an error.
didDefineProperty
(proto, key, value)
This Ember.js hook allows an object to be notified when a property is defined.
In this case, we use it to be notified when an Ember Data user defines a belongs-to relationship. In that case, we need to set up observers for each one, allowing us to track relationship changes and automatically reflect changes in the inverse has-many array.
This hook passes the class being set up, as well as the key and value being defined. So, for example, when the user does this:
1 2 3 |
DS.Model.extend({ parent: DS.belongsTo('user') }); |
This hook would be called with "parent" as the key and the computed
property returned by DS.belongsTo
as the value.
Parameters:
- proto
- key
- value
eachAttribute
(callback, target)
static
Iterates through the attributes of the model, calling the passed function on each attribute.
The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):
1 |
function(name, meta);
|
name
the name of the current property in the iterationmeta
the meta object for the attribute property in the iteration
Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target
object that will be set as this
on the context.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({ firstName: attr('string'), lastName: attr('string'), birthday: attr('date') }); App.Person.eachAttribute(function(name, meta) { console.log(name, meta); }); // prints: // firstName {type: "string", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "firstName"} // lastName {type: "string", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "lastName"} // birthday {type: "date", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "birthday"} |
Parameters:
- callback Function
- The callback to execute
- target Object
- The target object to use
eachRelatedType
(callback, binding)
static
Given a callback, iterates over each of the types related to a model, invoking the callback with the related type's class. Each type will be returned just once, regardless of how many different relationships it has with a model.
Parameters:
- callback Function
- the callback to invoke
- binding Any
- the value to which the callback's `this` should be bound
eachRelationship
(callback, binding)
Given a callback, iterates over each of the relationships in the model, invoking the callback with the name of each relationship and its relationship descriptor.
Parameters:
- callback Function
- the callback to invoke
- binding Any
- the value to which the callback's `this` should be bound
eachTransformedAttribute
(callback, target)
static
Iterates through the transformedAttributes of the model, calling the passed function on each attribute. Note the callback will not be called for any attributes that do not have an transformation type.
The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):
1 |
function(name, type);
|
name
the name of the current property in the iterationtype
a tring contrining the name of the type of transformed applied to the attribute
Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target
object that will be set as this
on the context.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({ firstName: attr(), lastName: attr('string'), birthday: attr('date') }); App.Person.eachTransformedAttribute(function(name, type) { console.log(name, type); }); // prints: // lastName string // birthday date |
Parameters:
- callback Function
- The callback to execute
- target Object
- The target object to use
loadedData
private
loadingData
(promise)
private
Parameters:
- promise Promise
notFound
private
pushedData
private
reload
Promise
Reload the record from the adapter.
This will only work if the record has already finished loading
and has not yet been modified (isLoaded
but not isDirty
,
or isSaving
).
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
App.ModelViewRoute = Ember.Route.extend({ actions: { reload: function() { this.get('model').reload(); } } }); |
Returns:
- Promise
- a promise that will be resolved with the record when the adapter returns successfully or rejected if the adapter returns with an error.
rollback
If the model isDirty
this function will which discard any unsaved
changes
Example
1 2 3 4 5 |
record.get('name'); // 'Untitled Document' record.set('name', 'Doc 1'); record.get('name'); // 'Doc 1' record.rollback(); record.get('name'); // 'Untitled Document' |
save
Promise
Save the record and persist any changes to the record to an extenal source via the adapter.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
record.set('name', 'Tomster'); record.save().then(function(){ // Success callback }, function() { // Error callback }); |
Returns:
- Promise
- a promise that will be resolved when the adapter returns successfully or rejected if the adapter returns with an error.
serialize
(options)
Object
Create a JSON representation of the record, using the serialization strategy of the store's adapter.
serialize
takes an optional hash as a parameter, currently
supported options are:
includeId
:true
if the record's ID should be included in the JSON representation.
Parameters:
- options Object
Returns:
- Object
- an object whose values are primitive JSON values only
setupData
(data, partial)
private
Parameters:
- data Object
- partial Boolean
- the data should be merged into the existing data, not replace it.
suspendRelationshipObservers
(callback, binding)
private
The goal of this method is to temporarily disable specific observers that take action in response to application changes.
This allows the system to make changes (such as materialization and rollback) that should not trigger secondary behavior (such as setting an inverse relationship or marking records as dirty).
The specific implementation will likely change as Ember proper provides better infrastructure for suspending groups of observers, and if Array observation becomes more unified with regular observers.
Parameters:
- callback
- binding
toJSON
(options)
Object
Use DS.JSONSerializer to get the JSON representation of a record.
toJSON
takes an optional hash as a parameter, currently
supported options are:
includeId
:true
if the record's ID should be included in the JSON representation.
Parameters:
- options Object
Returns:
- Object
- A JSON representation of the object.
trigger
(name)
private
Override the default event firing from Ember.Evented to also call methods with the given name.
Parameters:
- name
typeForRelationship
(name)
subclass of DS.Model
static
For a given relationship name, returns the model type of the relationship.
For example, if you define a model like this:
1 2 3 |
App.Post = DS.Model.extend({ comments: DS.hasMany('comment') }); |
Calling App.Post.typeForRelationship('comments')
will return App.Comment
.
Parameters:
- name String
- the name of the relationship
Returns:
- subclass of DS.Model
- the type of the relationship, or undefined
unloadRecord
private
updateRecordArrays
private
updateRecordArraysLater
private
attributes
{Ember.Map}
static
A map whose keys are the attributes of the model (properties described by DS.attr) and whose values are the meta object for the property.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({ firstName: attr('string'), lastName: attr('string'), birthday: attr('date') }); var attributes = Ember.get(App.Person, 'attributes') attributes.forEach(function(name, meta) { console.log(name, meta); }); // prints: // firstName {type: "string", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "firstName"} // lastName {type: "string", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "lastName"} // birthday {type: "date", isAttribute: true, options: Object, parentType: function, name: "birthday"} |
clientId
{Number|String}
private
The clientId
property is a transient numerical identifier
generated at runtime by the data store. It is important
primarily because newly created objects may not yet have an
externally generated id.
currentState
{Object}
private
data
{Object}
private
dirtyType
{String}
If the record is in the dirty state this property will report what kind of change has caused it to move into the dirty state. Possible values are:
created
The record has been created by the client and not yet saved to the adapter.updated
The record has been updated by the client and not yet saved to the adapter.deleted
The record has been deleted by the client and not yet saved to the adapter.
Example
1 2 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('dirtyType'); // 'created' |
errors
{Object}
When the record is in the invalid
state this object will contain
any errors returned by the adapter. When present the errors hash
typically contains keys coresponding to the invalid property names
and values which are an array of error messages.
1 2 3 4 5 |
record.get('errors'); // null record.set('foo', 'invalid value'); record.save().then(null, function() { record.get('errors'); // {foo: ['foo should be a number.']} }); |
fields
Ember.Map
static
A map whose keys are the fields of the model and whose values are strings describing the kind of the field. A model's fields are the union of all of its attributes and relationships.
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
App.Blog = DS.Model.extend({ users: DS.hasMany('user'), owner: DS.belongsTo('user'), posts: DS.hasMany('post'), title: DS.attr('string') }); var fields = Ember.get(App.Blog, 'fields'); fields.forEach(function(field, kind) { console.log(field, kind); }); // prints: // users, hasMany // owner, belongsTo // posts, hasMany // title, attribute |
id
{String}
All ember models have an id property. This is an identifier managed by an external source. These are always coerced to be strings before being used internally. Note when declaring the attributes for a model it is an error to declare an id attribute.
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('id'); // null store.find('model', 1).then(function(model) { model.get('id'); // '1' }); |
isDeleted
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the deleted
state
and has been marked for deletion. When isDeleted
is true and
isDirty
is true, the record is deleted locally but the deletion
was not yet persisted. When isSaving
is true, the change is
in-flight. When both isDirty
and isSaving
are false, the
change has persisted.
Example
1 2 3 4 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('isDeleted'); // false record.deleteRecord(); record.get('isDeleted'); // true |
isDirty
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the dirty
state. The
record has local changes that have not yet been saved by the
adapter. This includes records that have been created (but not yet
saved) or deleted.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('isDirty'); // true store.find('model', 1).then(function(model) { model.get('isDirty'); // false model.set('foo', 'some value'); model.set('isDirty'); // true }); |
isEmpty
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the empty
state. Empty is the first state all records enter after they have
been created. Most records created by the store will quickly
transition to the loading
state if data needs to be fetched from
the server or the created
state if the record is created on the
client. A record can also enter the empty state if the adapter is
unable to locate the record.
isError
{Boolean}
If true
the adapter reported that it was unable to save local
changes to the backend. This may also result in the record having
its isValid
property become false if the adapter reported that
server-side validations failed.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 |
record.get('isError'); // false record.set('foo', 'invalid value'); record.save().then(null, function() { record.get('isError'); // true }); |
isLoaded
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the loaded
state. A
record enters this state when its data is populated. Most of a
record's lifecycle is spent inside substates of the loaded
state.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('isLoaded'); // true store.find('model', 1).then(function(model) { model.get('isLoaded'); // true }); |
isLoading
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the loading
state. A
record enters this state when the store askes the adapter for its
data. It remains in this state until the adapter provides the
requested data.
isNew
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the new
state. A
record will be in the new
state when it has been created on the
client and the adapter has not yet report that it was successfully
saved.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('isNew'); // true store.find('model', 1).then(function(model) { model.get('isNew'); // false }); |
isReloading
{Boolean}
If true
the store is attempting to reload the record form the adapter.
Example
1 2 3 |
record.get('isReloading'); // false record.reload(); record.get('isReloading'); // true |
isSaving
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the saving
state. A
record enters the saving state when save
is called, but the
adapter has not yet acknowledged that the changes have been
persisted to the backend.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
var record = store.createRecord(App.Model); record.get('isSaving'); // false var promise = record.save(); record.get('isSaving'); // true promise.then(function() { record.get('isSaving'); // false }); |
isValid
{Boolean}
If this property is true
the record is in the valid
state. A
record will be in the valid
state when no client-side
validations have failed and the adapter did not report any
server-side validation failures.
relationshipNames
Object
static
A hash containing lists of the model's relationships, grouped by the relationship kind. For example, given a model with this definition:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
App.Blog = DS.Model.extend({ users: DS.hasMany('user'), owner: DS.belongsTo('user'), posts: DS.hasMany('post') }); |
This property would contain the following:
1 2 3 4 5 |
var relationshipNames = Ember.get(App.Blog, 'relationshipNames'); relationshipNames.hasMany; //=> ['users', 'posts'] relationshipNames.belongsTo; //=> ['owner'] |
relationships
Ember.Map
static
The model's relationships as a map, keyed on the type of the relationship. The value of each entry is an array containing a descriptor for each relationship with that type, describing the name of the relationship as well as the type.
For example, given the following model definition:
1 2 3 4 5 |
App.Blog = DS.Model.extend({ users: DS.hasMany('user'), owner: DS.belongsTo('user'), posts: DS.hasMany('post') }); |
This computed property would return a map describing these relationships, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
var relationships = Ember.get(App.Blog, 'relationships'); relationships.get(App.User); //=> [ { name: 'users', kind: 'hasMany' }, // { name: 'owner', kind: 'belongsTo' } ] relationships.get(App.Post); //=> [ { name: 'posts', kind: 'hasMany' } ] |
relationshipsByName
Ember.Map
static
A map whose keys are the relationships of a model and whose values are relationship descriptors.
For example, given a model with this definition:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
App.Blog = DS.Model.extend({ users: DS.hasMany('user'), owner: DS.belongsTo('user'), posts: DS.hasMany('post') }); |
This property would contain the following:
1 2 3 4 5 |
var relationshipsByName = Ember.get(App.Blog, 'relationshipsByName'); relationshipsByName.get('users'); //=> { key: 'users', kind: 'hasMany', type: App.User } relationshipsByName.get('owner'); //=> { key: 'owner', kind: 'belongsTo', type: App.User } |
transformedAttributes
{Ember.Map}
static
A map whose keys are the attributes of the model (properties described by DS.attr) and whose values are type of transformation applied to each attribute. This map does not include any attributes that do not have an transformation type.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({ firstName: attr(), lastName: attr('string'), birthday: attr('date') }); var transformedAttributes = Ember.get(App.Person, 'transformedAttributes') transformedAttributes.forEach(function(field, type) { console.log(field, type); }); // prints: // lastName string // birthday date |
becameError
Fired when the record enters the error state.
becameInvalid
Fired when the record becomes invalid.
didCreate
Fired when the record is created.
didDelete
Fired when the record is deleted.
didLoad
Fired when the record is loaded from the server.
didUpdate
Fired when the record is updated.
