Fetch relations automatically

1

Hi, I have two related models (Notification):

import DS from 'ember-data';
import MF from 'ember-data-model-fragments';

export default DS.Model.extend({
    type: DS.attr('string'),
    status: DS.attr('string'),
    details: DS.attr(),
    createdAt: DS.attr('date'),
    updatedAt: DS.attr('date'),
    ...
    document: DS.belongsTo('document')
});

Here is the Document model:

        import DS from 'ember-data';
        import MF from 'ember-data-model-fragments';

export default DS.Model.extend({
    type: DS.attr('string'),
    category: DS.attr('string'),
    number: DS.attr('string'),
    valid: MF.fragment('doc-valid'),
   ....
    details: MF.fragment('doc-details'),
	user: DS.belongsTo('user'),
    vehicle: DS.belongsTo("vehicle"),
});

What I want to do is when them model is fetching notification I want to also fetch related documents by making additional requests for each of them.

I have tried { async: false }, but is not working.

E.g. this.store.findAll('notification) should result in notifications with documents. For each document a new request should be made automatically and then model should be ready only when all requests are ready.

Is possible?

Something like this in your route should do the trick

model() {
  return this.store.findAll('notifcation').then(function(notifcations) {
    const promises = notifcations.map(function(n) {
      retrun n.get('document');
    });

    return Ember.RSVP.all(promises);
  })
}

Let me know if this works for you or if it’s not clear!

Cheers, Ben

Hi, This works, but I want my model to be an array of notifications, in this case I suppose it will be an array of documents.

return Ember.RSVP.all(promises).then(function() {
  return notifcations;
});
