Paperclip

Paperclip is now compatible with aws-sdk >= 2.0.0. If you are using S3 storage, aws-sdk >= 2.0.0 requires you to make a few small changes:

You must set the s3_region
If setting permissions anywhere, such as in an initializer, the format for permissions changed from underscore to hyphen. For example, :public_read needs to be changed to public-read.

active_model_serializers

This app is using active_model_serializers to communicate with Ember's active-model-adapter.

"convention over configuration" with JSON. AMS works through serializers and adapters; Serializers describe WHICH attributes and relationships should be serialized. Adapters describe HOW attributes and relationships should be serialized.

When /collections in Ember return this.get('store').findAll('collection') AMS will respond with all Collections, but no Art objects

{
  "collections":
  [
    {
      "id":1,
      "name":"neighbor",
      "desc":"totoro",
      "user_id":1,
      "cover":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/faetea-artcollection/collections/covers/000/000/001/original/1461623034.png?1461623034",
      "art_ids":[1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12,13]
    },
    {
      "id":2,
      "name":"timey",
      "desc":"whimey",
      "user_id":2,
      "cover":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/faetea-artcollection/collections/covers/000/000/002/original/1461624382.png?1461624382",
      "art_ids":[6,7,14]
    },
    {
      "id":3,
      "name":"Walkabout",
      "desc":"good wandering",
      "user_id":3,
      "cover":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/faetea-artcollection/collections/covers/000/000/003/original/1462241650.png?1462241650",
      "art_ids":[15]
    }
  ]
}

When /collections/1 in Ember collection.id AMS will respond with the specific Collection

{
  "collection":
  {
    "id":1,
    "name":"neighbor",
    "desc":"totoro",
    "user_id":1,
    "cover":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/faetea-artcollection/collections/covers/000/000/001/original/1461623034.png?1461623034",
    "art_ids":[1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12,13]
  }
}

And then separate responses for each Art object

{
  "art":
  {
    "id":1,
    "title":"sen",
    "caption":"chihiro",
    "collection_id":1,
    "image":"http://s3.amazonaws.com/faetea-artcollection/arts/images/000/000/001/original/1461623117.png?1461623117",
  }
}
