The UnderscoredAdapterMixin is intended use when creating a subclass of the DS.RESTAdapter.

Based on activemodel-adapter package, supports hasMany and belongsTo records embedded in JSON payloads, designed to work out of the box with the active_model_serializers Ruby gem.

Mongoid supports using embeds_many and embeds_one in (Rails) models. Also has_one and has_many can be used with ActiveModel::Serializers. Choose an option for embedding ids or object(s).

Use to create an adapter based on the DS.RESTAdapter by making consistent use of the camelization, decamelization and pluralization methods to normalize the serialized JSON into a format that is compatible with a conventional Rails backend and Ember Data.

JSON Structure

The UnderscoredAdapterMixin expects the JSON payload from your server to follow the REST adapter conventions substituting underscored keys for camelCased ones.

Conventional Names

Attribute names in your JSON payload should be the underscored versions of the attributes in your Ember.js models.

For example, if you have a Person model:

App.FamousPerson = DS.Model.extend({
  firstName: DS.attr('string'),
  lastName: DS.attr('string'),
  occupation: DS.attr('string')
});

The JSON returned should look like this:

{
  "famous_person": {
    "first_name": "Barack",
    "last_name": "Obama",
    "occupation": "President"
  }
}
