Custom Model Specific Adapters

app.js

// So you likely have an application adapter like so:

App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.ActiveModelAdapter.extend();  // could also be REST adapter

// And you have a model:

App.Comment = DS.Model.extend({
  text: DS.attr(),
  createdBy: DS.attr()
});

App.CommentsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(){
    // by default this will perform a GET request to your API endpoint
    this.store.find('comment');
  }
});


// BUT you want a POST, so just define a custom adapter for the comment model:

App.CommentAdapter = App.ApplicationAdapter.extend({
  // this gets called when you do not pass an ID to this.store.find
  findAll: function(store, type) {
    return this.ajax(this.buildURL(type.typeKey), 'POST');
  },
  
  // this gets called when you do pass an ID
  find: function(store, type, id) {
    return this.ajax(this.buildURL(type.typeKey, id), 'POST');
  },
});
