Ember Subdirectory Models vs Adapter Change?

Question

I noticed that it's possible to create subdirectory models with ember cli. So I can do

ember g model log/type1-log

This creates a log directory with the type1-log model inside it. The reason I attempted this was that of my API structure.

/api/v1/logs/
/api/v1/logs/type1-log
/api/v1/logs/type2-log
/api/v1/logs/type3-log

Initially, I was doing ember g model type1-log, but that model was doing api requests to /api/v1/type1-log. I wanted it to be doing api/v1/logs/type1-log.

Are sub directory models supported by Ember, or should I actually be updating my Adapter to modify the URL?

Requesting logs is not the only thing my api will do in the future so I do not want to set a namespace to /api/v1/logs in the adapter.

You can customize end point customization using the adapter. so in your case I would say, You can create model specific adapter and use namespace property to customize it.

ember g adapter type1-log

and

import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  namespace: 'api/v1/logs'
});

From ember guides,

If you have one model that has exceptional rules for communicating with its backend than the others you can create a Model specific Adapter by running the command ember generate adapter adapter-name. For example, running ember generate adapter post will create the app/adapters/post.js file.
