Hello, I use ember with ember data and I am about to implement an undo manager … any ideas, suggestions on aspect of ember and/or ember data that I should leverage? Thanks

Hi @salzhrani Did anything come of this? I am interested in patterns you found to implement this. The latest ember data seems to have done away with transactions and you can save individual records.
github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/TRANSITION.md
One thought that comes to mind is to implement a mixin that provides the undo functionality to individual model records. Perhaps keep a history buffer of changes and flush on saves or past some arbitrary depth.
For simple models this seems relatively straight forward. Where it gets a little hairy is when you have complex relationships and have to manages undo across multiple related objects.
Anyway, very interested to know if you came up with anything.
Excellent input … and there is also a need of an application level object to orchestrate the undoes and redoes.
