Hi!
I’m for sure doing something wrong, but maybe somebody can clarify it. Thanks in advance!
So let we say i have two simple models user → { id:attr(), role:DS.belongsTo(‘role’'), desc:attr() } and role → { id:attr(), label:attr() }
Everything works fine for display. Instead of role id I can show it’s related label.
But when it comes to update or save - it’s real pain (at least for me 
)
I can`t use (mut (get … )) anymore? Every time I need handle this via actions and do something like user.set(‘role’, store.peekRecord(‘role’, id));
When in case of primitive attributes (mut (get …)) works fine.
So. Instead of using belongsTo I can use computed props and it will look like user → { id:attr(), role:attr(), roleLabel:computed(‘role’,function() { return this.store.findRecord(‘role’,this.get(‘role’)); }, desc:attr() } I still able to display role label, and i can use (mut (get … )) because it’s computed prop now. Less pain to save data in db ( it`s pretty much simple db row user, role, desc where role just a number).
The same story with hasMany.
So what is real purpose of using belongsTo? What i’m doing wrong?
Please help!
