Using BuildURLMixin

To use url building, include the mixin when extending an adapter, and call buildURL where needed. The default behaviour is designed for RESTAdapter.

Example

  export default DS.Adapter.extend(BuildURLMixin, {
    findRecord: function(store, type, id, snapshot) {
      var url = this.buildURL(type.modelName, id, snapshot, 'findRecord');
      return this.ajax(url, 'GET');
    }
  });

Attributes

The host and namespace attributes will be used if defined, and are optional.

Builds a URL for a given type and optional ID.

By default, it pluralizes the type's name (for example, 'post' becomes 'posts' and 'person' becomes 'people'). To override the pluralization see pathForType.

If an ID is specified, it adds the ID to the path generated for the type, separated by a /.

When called by RESTAdapter.findMany() the id and snapshot parameters will be arrays of ids and snapshots.

Determines the pathname for a given type.

By default, it pluralizes the type's name (for example, 'post' becomes 'posts' and 'person' becomes 'people').

Pathname customization

For example if you have an object LineItem with an endpoint of "/line_items/".

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  pathForType: function(modelName) {
    var decamelized = Ember.String.decamelize(modelName);
    return Ember.String.pluralize(decamelized);
  }
});

Builds a URL for a record.save() call when the record was created locally using store.createRecord().

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  urlForCreateRecord(modelName, snapshot) {
    return this._super(...arguments) + '/new';
  }
});

Builds a URL for a record.save() call when the record has been deleted locally.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  urlForDeleteRecord(id, modelName, snapshot) {
    return this._super(...arguments) + '/destroy';
  }
});

Builds a URL for a store.findAll(type) call.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  urlForFindAll(modelName, snapshot) {
    return 'data/comments.json';
  }
});

Builds a URL for fetching a async belongsTo relationship when a url is not provided by the server.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  urlForFindBelongsTo(id, modelName, snapshot) {
    let baseUrl = this.buildURL(id, modelName);
    return `${baseUrl}/relationships`;
  }
});

Builds a URL for fetching a async hasMany relationship when a url is not provided by the server.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  urlForFindHasMany(id, modelName, snapshot) {
    let baseUrl = this.buildURL(id, modelName);
    return `${baseUrl}/relationships`;
  }
});

Builds a URL for coalesceing multiple store.findRecord(type, id) records into 1 request when the adapter'scoalesceFindRequests` property is true.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  urlForFindMany(ids, modelName) {
    let baseUrl = this.buildURL();
    return `${baseUrl}/coalesce`;
  }
});

Builds a URL for a store.findRecord(type, id) call.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  urlForFindRecord(id, modelName, snapshot) {
    let baseUrl = this.buildURL();
    return `${baseUrl}/users/${snapshot.adapterOptions.user_id}/playlists/${id}`;
  }
});

Builds a URL for a store.query(type, query) call.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  host: 'https://api.github.com',
  urlForQuery (query, modelName) {
    switch(modelName) {
      case 'repo':
        return `https://api.github.com/orgs/${query.orgId}/repos`;
      default:
        return this._super(...arguments);
    }
  }
});

Builds a URL for a store.queryRecord(type, query) call.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  urlForQueryRecord({ slug }, modelName) {
    let baseUrl = this.buildURL();
    return `${baseUrl}/${encodeURIComponent(slug)}`;
  }
});

Builds a URL for a record.save() call when the record has been update locally.

Example:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  urlForUpdateRecord(id, modelName, snapshot) {
    return `/${id}/feed?access_token=${snapshot.adapterOptions.token}`;
  }
});
