Singleton resources in ember.js

gistfile1.js

App.Store = DS.Store.extend({
  revision: 10,
  adapter: DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
    bulkCommit: false,
    find: function(store, type, id) {
      if (id === 'singleton') {
        var url = '/' + this.rootForType(type);
        $.getJSON(url, function(data) {
          data.id = id;
          store.load(type, id, data);
        });
      } else {
        this._super.apply(this, arguments);
      }
    }
  })  
})

App.Profile = DS.Model.extend({
  first_name: DS.attr('string'),
  last_name: DS.attr('string')
});

App.Profile.reopenClass({
  find: function() {
    return this._super('singleton');
  }
});

This looks like a nice solution. Thank you for sharing

Note for folks now in 2014 using Ember 1.7, and Data 1.0 (or abouts), the

store.load type, id, data

part should be replaced with the following

store.push type, data

since the newer versions of ember no longer supports store.load
