Ember Data Serialize Attributes Example

groups.js.coffee

# This is a demonstration of how to have the attribute friend_ids serialized
# when posted to the server
# Add friends like this in the controller:
#   group = @get('model')
#   friend = @store.getById('friend', friend.get('id'))
#   group.get('friends').addObject(friend)
#   group.save()

App.Group = DS.Model.extend
  friends: DS.hasMany 'friend', async: true

App.GroupSerializer = DS.ActiveModelSerializer.extend DS.EmbeddedRecordsMixin,
  attrs:
    friends: 
      serialize: 'ids'
      deserialize: 'ids'
