SF Ember.js Meetup 10/30

In this talk, Tom drops some rapid-fire knowledge bombs about Ember Data–what it is, where it's at currently, and what's coming in the pipeline.

2. Ember Data
5. UPDATE customers SET salesperson = "Mike" WHERE state = "NH"
7. ActiveRecord
11. $.getJSON('/posts/1', function(data) { controller.set('content', data); });
13. Ember Data
14. DS.Store Application Semantics Server Semantics translates DS.Adapter
15. DS.Adapter DS.Serializer
16. DS.Adapter DS.Serializer • Are relationships saved in the parent or the child? • What payloads are sent to what URLs? • What actions map to what HTTP verbs? • What is the name of the primary key? • What are the names of attributes? • Are objects embedded or referred to by ID?
17. What's Next?
18. Full Time!
19. Bug Fixes!
20. Per-Type Adapters
21. Server Team
22. find: function(store, type, id) { if (type === App.Post) { $.ajax('/enterprise_cms/v134uu5/ db-legacy/posts_endpoint-v2/'+id, 'GET', { success: function(json) { store.load(type, json); } }); } else if (type === App.Comment) { $.ajax('/comments/'+id, 'GET', { success: function(json) { store.load(type, json); } }); } }
23. DS.Store.registerAdapter('App.Post', DS.Adapter.extend({ find: function(store, type, id) { $.ajax(this.buildURL(type), 'GET', { success: function(json) { store.load(type, json); } }); } }));
24. Helps you isolate crazy.
25. Read-Only Records
26. App.Serializer = DS.Serializer.extend({ optionsForMaterializedAttribute: function(type, attributeName) { if (attributeName === 'updatedAt') { return { readOnly: true }; } } });
27. App.Serializer = DS.Serializer.extend({ materializeOptions: function(record, hash) { if (hash.read_only === true) { record.materializeOptions({ readOnly: true }); } } });
29. DS.RESTAdapter.map('App.Tweet', { updatedAt: { readOnly: true, keyName: 'last_date' } });
30. DS.RESTAdapter.configure('App.Tweet', { readOnly: true });
31. Embedded Data
32. // GET /comments/789 { "comment": { "id": 789, "title": "Browser question", "body": "the question, \"What browser am I using, and why does it matter?\"", "user": { "firstName": "Jeff", "lastName": "Chang" } } }
34. // PUT /comments/789 { "comment": { "id": 789, "title": "Browser questions", "body": "the question, \"What browser am I using, and why does it matter?\"" } } // PUT /users/123 { "user": { "id": 123, "firstName": "Jeffrey", "lastName": "Chang" } } Embedded Loading
35. DS.RESTAdapter.map('App.Comment', { user: { embedded: "load" } }); Embedded Loading
36. // PUT /comments/789 { "comment": { "id": 789, "title": "Browser questions", "body": "the question, \"What browser am I using, and why does it matter?\"", "user": { "firstName": "Jeffrey", "lastName": "Chang" } } } Embedded
37. DS.RESTAdapter.map('App.Comment', { user: { embedded: "always" } }); Embedded
