Using Fixtures Edit Page

Now we'll add fixture data. Fixtures are a way to put sample data into an application before connecting the application to long-term persistence.

First, update js/application.js to indicate that your application's ApplicationAdapter is an extension of the DS.FixtureAdapter. Adapters are responsible for communicating with a source of data for your application. Typically this will be a web service API, but in this case we are using an adapter designed to load fixture data:

1
2
3

window.Todos = Ember.Application.create();

Todos.ApplicationAdapter = DS.FixtureAdapter.extend();

Next, update the file at js/models/todo.js to include the following fixture data:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18

// ... additional lines truncated for brevity ...
Todos.Todo.FIXTURES = [
 {
   id: 1,
   title: 'Learn Ember.js',
   isCompleted: true
 },
 {
   id: 2,
   title: '...',
   isCompleted: false
 },
 {
   id: 3,
   title: 'Profit!',
   isCompleted: false
 }
];

Reload your web browser to ensure that all files have been referenced correctly and no errors occur.
