I haven't had much time to maintain this project recently as I am no longer working on a project that uses Sails.js. Here are some alternate projects that you may want to consider instead of this one.
If you would like to modify your Sails.js backend to work with Ember Data out of the box check out @mphasize's sails-ember-blueprints.
If you would like an adapter/serializer combo for Ember Data that works well with the stock Sails.js API and supports ember-cli check out @huafu's ember-data-sails
An Ember Data adapter for Sails.js v0.10. If you are looking for Sails.js blueprints that work well with Ember Data be sure to check out sails-ember-blueprints.
Note: If you like to use this adapter with Sails.js v0.9 please use the 1.x line.
This package contains 2 Adapters, DS.SailsSocketAdapter and DS.SailsRESTAdapter.
bower install ember-data-sails-adapter<script type="text/javascript" src="/bower_components/ember-data-sails-adapter/ember-data-sails-adapter.js"></script>The SailsSocketAdapter uses Sails's websocket support to find, create and delete records. This has the benifit of automatically subscribing to the Sails' update, create and delete events for for the model. To enable these events with Blueprint controllers in Sails v0.10 you will need to set the autosubscribe property on your Model. The adapter will add or update records in the store when a Sails emits an updated, created or destroyed event.
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsSocketAdapter.extend({
namespace: '/api/v1',
});The SailsRESTAdapter works similarly to the Ember RESTAdapter. The main differences are this adapter automatically attempts to use the JSONSerializer instead of the RESTSerializer because it more closely matches the JSON response from Sails. Additionally it will re-format the error messages returned by Sails to match the format that Ember Data expects. With the SailsRESTAdapter you will not get the live updateing that comes with the SailsSocketAdapter. However, because websockets do not support compression using the SailsRESTAdapter may be benificial when you are expecting a large response from the Sails api.
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsRESTAdapter.extend({
namespace: '/api/v1'
});By default Sails does not pluralize the model names when creating urls
to a model's route. This is different from the normal Ember Data
conventions. To make it easy to get started the SailsRESTAdapter and
SailsSocketAdapter will attempt to singularize the model name when
requesting a model's route. If you would like to use a pluralized
model name in the route you can override the default pathForType
method.
Example
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsRESTAdapter.example({
pathForType: function(type) {
var camelized = Ember.String.camelize(type);
return Ember.String.pluralize(camelized);
}
});You can enable pluralized routes in sails by going to
config/blueprints.js and setting the pluralize variable to true.
The options below are for the SailsSocketAdapter. To see a list of options for the SailsRESTAdapter see the RESTAdapter docs.
Type: String
Default value: ''
The prefix to add to the request uris.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Set to true if you would like to see a log of all requests in the command line.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Used to map lowercase model names that sails uses to model names that ember can understand.
An Ember Data adapter for Sails.js v0.9.
This package contains 2 Adapters, DS.SailsSocketAdapter and DS.SailsRESTAdapter.
bower install ember-data-sails-adapter#1.0.1<script type="text/javascript" src="/bower_components/ember-data-sails-adapter/ember-data-sails-adapter.js"></script>The SailsSocketAdapter uses Sails's websocket support to find, create and delete records. This has the benifit of automatically subscribing to the Sails' update, create and delete events for for the model. The adapter will add or update records in the store when a Sails emits an update, create and delete event.
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsSocketAdapter.extend({
namespace: '/api/v1',
log: false,
modelNameMap: {
userprofile: 'UserProfile'
}
});The SailsRESTAdapter works similarly to the Ember RESTAdapter. The main differences are this adapter automatically attempts to use the JSONSerializer instead of the RESTSerializer because it more closely matches the JSON response from Sails. Additionally it will re-format the error messages returned by Sails to match the format that Ember Data expects. With the SailsRESTAdapter you will not get the live updateing that comes with the SailsSocketAdapter. However, because websockets do not support compression using the SailsRESTAdapter may be benificial when you are expecting a large response from the Sails api.
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.SailsRESTAdapter.extend({
namespace: '/api/v1'
});In Sails v0.9, the SailsSocketAdapter and SailsRESTAdapter both work best using the JSONSerializer. As a result of a bug in the stock JSONSerializer it is recommend that you create an ApplicationSerializer by extending the JSONSerializer like in the example below.
App.ApplicationSerializer = DS.JSONSerializer.extend({
// Fix broken extractArray see:
// https://github.com/emberjs/data/pull/1479
extractArray: function(store, type, arrayPayload) {
var serializer = this;
return Ember.ArrayPolyfills.map.call(arrayPayload, function(singlePayload) {
return serializer.extractSingle(store, type, singlePayload);
});
},
// Allow JSONSerializer to work with RESTAdapter
// https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/7e83ed158034cf7fedf2a7113a82de5d5ce67e76/packages/ember-data/lib/adapters/rest_adapter.js#L379
serializeIntoHash: function(hash, type, record, options) {
Ember.merge(hash, this.serialize(record, options));
}
});The options below are for the SailsSocketAdapter. To see a list of options for the SailsRESTAdapter see the RESTAdapter docs.
Type: String
Default value: ''
The prefix to add to the request uris.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Set to true if you would like to see a log of all requests in the command line.
Type: Object
Default value: {}
