Hi everybody,

I’ve got this doubt: I want to send store data remotely in a server in my app, I’ve create my customize adapter and serializer. But i don 't well understand, in the method createRecord(store, type, model), that I have override in my adapter, what i should pass as these parameters.

As a user of ember-data, you shouldn’t ever have to call `createRecord` directly – ember-data will call `createRecord` internally any time you ask it to save a new record. You’ll save a record using `myNewRecord.save()` or something, and ember will internally call `createRecord`. Furthermore, ember will pass three parameters to `createRecord` – `store`, `type`, and `snapshot` – that hold the information needed to create the record.

Your job, if you are writing your own adapter, is to fill out `createRecord` with an AJAX call or whatever you think it needs to perform an API call that saves data remotely. Use the passed parameters `store`, `type`, and `snapshot` to access the data needed to create the record.

[Check out the example in the documentation](https://www.emberjs.com/api/ember-data/2.14/classes/DS.Adapter/methods/createRecord?anchor=createRecord) to see one possible way of filling out `createRecord`.
