/**
  @module ember-data
*/

import EmberObject from '@ember/object';

/**
  An adapter is an object that receives requests from a store and
  translates them into the appropriate action to take against your
  persistence layer. The persistence layer is usually an HTTP API but
  may be anything, such as the browser's local storage. Typically the
  adapter is not invoked directly instead its functionality is accessed
  through the `store`.

  ### Creating an Adapter

  Create a new subclass of `DS.Adapter` in the `app/adapters` folder:

  ```app/adapters/application.js
  import DS from 'ember-data';

  export default DS.Adapter.extend({
    // ...your code here
  });
  ```

  Model-specific adapters can be created by putting your adapter
  class in an `app/adapters/` + `model-name` + `.js` file of the application.

  ```app/adapters/post.js
  import DS from 'ember-data';

  export default DS.Adapter.extend({
    // ...Post-specific adapter code goes here
  });
  ```

  `DS.Adapter` is an abstract base class that you should override in your
  application to customize it for your backend. The minimum set of methods
  that you should implement is:

    * `findRecord()`
    * `createRecord()`
    * `updateRecord()`
    * `deleteRecord()`
    * `findAll()`
    * `query()`

  To improve the network performance of your application, you can optimize
  your adapter by overriding these lower-level methods:

    * `findMany()`


  For an example of the implementation, see `DS.RESTAdapter`, the
  included REST adapter.

  @class Adapter
  @namespace DS
  @extends Ember.Object
*/

export default EmberObject.extend({
  /**
    If you would like your adapter to use a custom serializer you can
    set the `defaultSerializer` property to be the name of the custom
    serializer.

    Note the `defaultSerializer` serializer has a lower priority than
    a model specific serializer (i.e. `PostSerializer`) or the
    `application` serializer.

    ```app/adapters/django.js
    import DS from 'ember-data';

    export default DS.Adapter.extend({
      defaultSerializer: 'django'
    });
    ```

    @property defaultSerializer
    @type {String}

  /**
    The `findRecord()` method is invoked when the store is asked for a record that
    has not previously been loaded. In response to `findRecord()` being called, you
    should query your persistence layer for a record with the given ID. The `findRecord`
    method should return a promise that will resolve to a JavaScript object that will be
    normalized by the serializer.

    Here is an example of the `findRecord` implementation:

    Most traditional REST-like HTTP APIs will not use this method. Instead, the ID
    of the record will be set by the server, and your adapter will update the store

    The updateRecord method is expected to return a promise that will

    inform the Ember Data store the current state of this record after
    the update. If it is not possible to return a serialized record
    the updateRecord promise can also resolve with `undefined` and the
    Ember Data store will assume all of the updates were successfully
    applied on the backend.
