You can create records by calling the createRecord
method on the store.
store.createRecord('post', {
title: 'Rails is Omakase',
body: 'Lorem ipsum'
});
The store object is available in controllers and routes using this.store
.
Although createRecord
is fairly straightforward, the only thing to watch out for
is that you cannot assign a promise as a relationship, currently.
For example, if you want to set the author
property of a post, this would not work
if the user
with id isn't already loaded into the store:
var store = this.store;
store.createRecord('post', {
title: 'Rails is Omakase',
body: 'Lorem ipsum',
author: store.find('user', 1)
});
However, you can easily set the relationship after the promise has fulfilled:
var store = this.store;
var post = store.createRecord('post', {
title: 'Rails is Omakase',
body: 'Lorem ipsum'
});
store.find('user', 1).then(function(user) {
post.set('author', user);
});
Deleting Records
Deleting records is just as straightforward as creating records. Just call deleteRecord()
on any instance of DS.Model
. This flags the record as isDeleted
and thus removes
it from all()
queries on the store
. The deletion can then be persisted using save()
.
Alternatively, you can use the destroyRecord
method to delete and persist at the same time.
store.find('post', 1).then(function (post) {
post.deleteRecord();
post.get('isDeleted'); // => true
post.save(); // => DELETE to /posts/1
});
// OR
store.find('post', 2).then(function (post) {
post.destroyRecord(); // => DELETE to /posts/2
});
