Passing parameters to save()

Is it possible to pass parameters like this? I need to pass some information that is not part of the model itself.

myModel.save({site : 23})
Solution

  • It is possible if you:

    • add a 'volatile' attribute to your model,
    • define a custom model serializer, and override its serializeIntoHash method.

    For instance:

    App.Model = DS.Model.extend({
  //...
  site: DS.attr('number', { serialize: false })
});

    App.ModelSerializer = DS.RESTSerializer.extend({

  serializeIntoHash: function(hash, type, record, options) {
    this._super(hash, type, record, options);

    Ember.merge(hash, {
      'site': record.get('site')
    });
  }
});

    See this comment, this is the correct way to achieve your goal.
