Formatting query parameters that are arrays in Ember.Data

Let's say that I have an Ember.Data query I'd like to make:

this.store.find('items', {itemIds: [1,2,3]});

By default, Ember.Data creates a URL that looks like this:

items?itemIds%5B%5D=1&itemIds%5B%5D=2&itemIds%5B%5D=3

But the REST api I am connecting to wants it in this format:

items?itemIds=1&itemIds=2&itemIds=3

How do I achieve this adaptation?

Solution

  • Extend the RESTAdapter and override the ajax method and create the URL that you want to use based on the circumstances.

    App.ItemsAdapter = DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  ajax: function(url, type, options){
    if(myCircumstance){
      var data = options.data;
      delete options.data;
      url = url + ......;
    }
    return this._super(url, type, options);
  }
});
