DS.HasManyReference Class
A HasManyReference is a low level API that allows users and addon author to perform meta-operations on a has-many relationship.
Methods
ids
()
Array
ids()
returns an array of the record ids in this relationship.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.ids(); // ['1']
Returns:
The ids in this has-many relationship
link
()
String
The link Ember Data will use to fetch or reload this has-many relationship.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
links: {
related: '/posts/1/comments'
}
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.link(); // '/posts/1/comments'
Returns:
The link Ember Data will use to fetch or reload this has-many relationship.
load
()
Promise
Loads the relationship if it is not already loaded. If the relationship is already loaded this method does not trigger a new load.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.load().then(function(comments) {
//...
});
Returns:
a promise that resolves with the ManyArray in this has-many relationship.
meta
()
Object
The meta data for the has-many relationship.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
links: {
related: {
href: '/posts/1/comments',
meta: {
count: 10
}
}
}
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.meta(); // { count: 10 }
Returns:
The meta information for the has-many relationship.
push
-
objectOrPromise
push
can be used to update the data in the relationship and Ember
Data will treat the new data as the canonical value of this
relationship on the backend.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.ids(); // ['1']
commentsRef.push([
[{ type: 'comment', id: 2 }],
[{ type: 'comment', id: 3 }],
])
commentsRef.ids(); // ['2', '3']
Parameters:
-
objectOrPromise
Array | Promisea promise that resolves to a JSONAPI document object describing the new value of this relationship.
Returns:
reload
()
Promise
Reloads this has-many relationship.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
commentsRef.reload().then(function(comments) {
//...
});
Returns:
a promise that resolves with the ManyArray in this has-many relationship.
remoteType
()
String
This returns a string that represents how the reference will be looked up when it is loaded. If the relationship has a link it will use the "link" otherwise it defaults to "id".
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
// get the identifier of the reference
if (commentsRef.remoteType() === "ids") {
let ids = commentsRef.ids();
} else if (commentsRef.remoteType() === "link") {
let link = commentsRef.link();
}
Returns:
The name of the remote type. This should either be "link" or "ids"
value
()
DS.ManyArray
value()
synchronously returns the current value of the has-many
relationship. Unlike record.get('relationshipName')
, calling
value()
on a reference does not trigger a fetch if the async
relationship is not yet loaded. If the relationship is not loaded
it will always return null
.
Example
export default DS.Model.extend({
comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});
let post = store.push({
data: {
type: 'post',
id: 1,
relationships: {
comments: {
data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
}
}
}
});
let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');
post.get('comments').then(function(comments) {
commentsRef.value() === comments
})
