Ember.DataAdapter Class packages/ember-extension-support/lib/data_adapter.js:20
PUBLIC
Extends: EmberObject
Defined in: packages/ember-extension-support/lib/data_adapter.js:20
Module: ember-extension-support
The DataAdapter helps a data persistence library
interface with tools that debug Ember such
as the Ember Extension
for Chrome and Firefox.
This class will be extended by a persistence library which will override some of the methods with library-specific code.
The methods likely to be overridden are:
getFiltersdetectcolumnsForTypegetRecordsgetRecordColumnValuesgetRecordKeywordsgetRecordFilterValuesgetRecordColorobserveRecord
The adapter will need to be registered
in the application's container as dataAdapter:main.
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
Application.initializer({
name: "data-adapter",
initialize: function(application) {
application.register('data-adapter:main', DS.DataAdapter);
}
});

Properties
_getObjectsOnNamespaces
Array
private
Loops over all namespaces and all objects attached to them.
Returns:
- Array
- Array of model type strings.
columnsForType
(type)
Array
private
Get the columns for a given model type.
Parameters:
- type Class
- The model type.
Returns:
- Array
- An array of columns of the following format: name: {String} The name of the column. desc: {String} Humanized description (what would show in a table column name).
detect
(klass)
private
Detect whether a class is a model.
Test that against the model class of your persistence library.
Parameters:
- klass Class
- The class to test.
Returns:
- boolean Whether the class is a model class or not.
getFilters
Array
public
Specifies how records can be filtered.
Records returned will need to have a filterValues
property with a key for every name in the returned array.
Returns:
- Array
- List of objects defining filters. The object should have a `name` and `desc` property.
getModelTypes
Array
private
Fetches all models defined in the application.
Returns:
- Array
- Array of model types.
getRecordColor
(record)
String
private
Each record can have a color that represents its state.
Parameters:
- record Object
- The record instance
Returns:
- String
- The records color. Possible options: black, red, blue, green.
getRecordColumnValues
Object
private
Gets the values for each column.
Returns:
- Object
- Keys should match column names defined by the model type.
getRecordFilterValues
(record)
Object
private
Returns the values of filters defined by getFilters.
Parameters:
- record Object
- The record instance.
Returns:
- Object
- The filter values.
getRecordKeywords
Array
private
Returns keywords to match when searching records.
Returns:
- Array
- Relevant keywords for search.
getRecords
Array
private
Fetches all loaded records for a given type.
Returns:
- Array
- An array of records. This array will be observed for changes, so it should update when new records are added/removed.
observeModelType
(modelName, typesUpdated)
Function
private
Adds observers to a model type class.
Parameters:
Returns:
- Function
- The function to call to remove observers.
observerRecord
(record, recordUpdated)
Function
private
Observes all relevant properties and re-sends the wrapped record when a change occurs.
Parameters:
- record Object
- The record instance.
- recordUpdated Function
- The callback to call when a record is updated.
Returns:
- Function
- The function to call to remove all observers.
watchModelTypes
(typesAdded, typesUpdated)
Function
public
Fetch the model types and observe them for changes.
Parameters:
Returns:
- Function
- Method to call to remove all observers
watchRecords
(modelName, recordsAdded, recordsUpdated, recordsRemoved)
Function
public
Fetch the records of a given type and observe them for changes.
Parameters:
- modelName String
- The model name.
- recordsAdded Function
- Callback to call to add records. Takes an array of objects containing wrapped records. The object should have the following properties: columnValues: {Object} The key and value of a table cell. object: {Object} The actual record object.
- recordsUpdated Function
- Callback to call when a record has changed. Takes an array of objects containing wrapped records.
- recordsRemoved Function
- Callback to call when a record has removed. Takes the following parameters: index: The array index where the records were removed. count: The number of records removed.
Returns:
- Function
- Method to call to remove all observers.
willDestroy
private
Clear all observers before destruction
wrapModelType
(klass, modelName)
Object
private
Wraps a given model type and observes changes to it.
Parameters:
- klass Class
- A model class.
- modelName String
- Name of the class.
Returns:
- Object
- Contains the wrapped type and the function to remove observers Format: type: {Object} The wrapped type. The wrapped type has the following format: name: {String} The name of the type. count: {Integer} The number of records available. columns: {Columns} An array of columns to describe the record. object: {Class} The actual Model type class. release: {Function} The function to remove observers.
wrapRecord
(record)
Object
private
Wraps a record and observers changes to it.
Parameters:
- record Object
- The record instance.
Returns:
- Object
- The wrapped record. Format: columnValues: {Array} searchKeywords: {Array}
acceptsModelName
public
Ember Data > v1.0.0-beta.18 requires string model names to be passed around instead of the actual factories.
