DS.ManyArray Class addon/-private/system/many-array.js:12


Extends: Ember.Object

Uses: Ember.MutableArray

Uses: Ember.Evented

Defined in: addon/-private/system/many-array.js:12

Module: ember-data

A ManyArray is a MutableArray that represents the contents of a has-many relationship.

The ManyArray is instantiated lazily the first time the relationship is requested.

Inverses

Often, the relationships in Ember Data applications will have an inverse. For example, imagine the following models are defined:

app/models/post.js
1
2
3
4
5
import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany('comment')
});
app/models/comment.js
1
2
3
4
5
import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.Model.extend({
  post: DS.belongsTo('post')
});

If you created a new instance of App.Post and added a App.Comment record to its comments has-many relationship, you would expect the comment's post property to be set to the post that contained the has-many.

We call the record to which a relationship belongs the relationship's owner.

2
3
4
5
6
7
8
store.findRecord('inbox', 1).then(function(inbox) {
  inbox.get('messages').then(function(messages) {
    messages.forEach(function(message) {
      message.set('isRead', true);
    });
    messages.save()
  });
});

Returns:

DS.PromiseArray
promise
Show:

isLoaded

Boolean

The loading state of this array

isPolymorphic

Boolean private

true if the relationship is polymorphic, false otherwise.

meta

Object public

Metadata associated with the request for async hasMany relationships.

Example

Given that the server returns the following JSON payload when fetching a hasMany relationship:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
{
  "comments": [{
    "id": 1,
    "comment": "This is the first comment",
  }, {
    // ...
  }],

  "meta": {
    "page": 1,
    "total": 5
  }
}

You can then access the metadata via the meta property:

1
2
3
4
5
6
post.get('comments').then(function(comments) {
  var meta = comments.get('meta');

  // meta.page => 1
  // meta.total => 5
});

promise

Ember.RSVP.Promise private

Used for async hasMany arrays to keep track of when they will resolve.

relationship

ManyRelationship private

The relationship which manages this array.
