DS.Serializer 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:

extract (store, typeClass, payload, id, requestType) Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/serializer.js:63

store: DS.Store
typeClass: DS.Model
payload: Object
id: (String|Number)
requestType: String
returns: Object

The extract method is used to deserialize the payload received from your data source into the form that Ember Data expects.

normalize (typeClass, hash) Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/serializer.js:93

typeClass: DS.Model
hash: Object
returns: Object

The normalize method is used to convert a payload received from your external data source into the normalized form store.push() expects. You should override this method, munge the hash and return the normalized payload.

serialize (record, options) Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/serializer.js:77

record: DS.Model
options: Object
returns: Object

The serialize method is used when a record is saved in order to convert the record into the form that your external data source expects.

serialize takes an optional options hash with a single option:

includeId: If this is true, serialize should include the ID in the serialized object it builds.
