Class DS.Snapshot private


Defined in: packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:12
Module: ember-data


Methods

attr (keyName) : Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:120

keyName
String
returns
Object

The attribute value or undefined

Returns the value of an attribute.

Example

// store.push('post', { id: 1, author: 'Tomster', title: 'Ember.js rocks' });
postSnapshot.attr('author'); // => 'Tomster'
postSnapshot.attr('title'); // => 'Ember.js rocks'

Note: Values are loaded eagerly and cached when the snapshot is created.

attributes : Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:144

returns
Object

All attributes of the current snapshot

Returns all attributes and their corresponding values.

Example

// store.push('post', { id: 1, author: 'Tomster', title: 'Ember.js rocks' });
postSnapshot.attributes(); // => { author: 'Tomster', title: 'Ember.js rocks' }

belongsTo (keyName, options) : (DS.Snapshot|String|null|undefined)

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:187

keyName
String
options
Object
returns
(DS.Snapshot|String|null|undefined)

A snapshot or ID of a known relationship or null if the relationship is known but unset. undefined will be returned if the contents of the relationship is unknown.

Returns the current value of a belongsTo relationship.

belongsTo takes an optional hash of options as a second parameter, currently supported options are:

  • id: set to true if you only want the ID of the related record to be returned.

Example

// store.push('post', { id: 1, title: 'Hello World' });
// store.createRecord('comment', { body: 'Lorem ipsum', post: post });
commentSnapshot.belongsTo('post'); // => DS.Snapshot
commentSnapshot.belongsTo('post', { id: true }); // => '1'

// store.push('comment', { id: 1, body: 'Lorem ipsum' });
commentSnapshot.belongsTo('post'); // => undefined

Calling belongsTo will return a new Snapshot as long as there's any known data for the relationship available, such as an ID. If the relationship is known but unset, belongsTo will return null. If the contents of the relationship is unknown belongsTo will return undefined.

Note: Relationships are loaded lazily and cached upon first access.

changedAttributes : Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:161

returns
Object

All changed attributes of the current snapshot

Returns all changed attributes and their old and new values.

Example

// store.push('post', { id: 1, author: 'Tomster', title: 'Ember.js rocks' });
postModel.set('title', 'Ember.js rocks!');
postSnapshot.changedAttributes(); // => { title: ['Ember.js rocks', 'Ember.js rocks!'] }

eachAttribute (callback, binding)

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:336

callback
Function

the callback to execute

binding
Object

the value to which the callback's this should be bound

Iterates through all the attributes of the model, calling the passed function on each attribute.

Example

snapshot.eachAttribute(function(name, meta) {
  // ...
});

eachRelationship (callback, binding)

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:356

callback
Function

the callback to execute

binding
Object

the value to which the callback's this should be bound

Iterates through all the relationships of the model, calling the passed function on each relationship.

Example

snapshot.eachRelationship(function(name, relationship) {
  // ...
});

hasMany (keyName, options) : (Array|undefined)

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:264

keyName
String
options
Object
returns
(Array|undefined)

An array of snapshots or IDs of a known relationship or an empty array if the relationship is known but unset. undefined will be returned if the contents of the relationship is unknown.

Returns the current value of a hasMany relationship.

hasMany takes an optional hash of options as a second parameter, currently supported options are:

  • ids: set to true if you only want the IDs of the related records to be returned.

Example

// store.push('post', { id: 1, title: 'Hello World', comments: [2, 3] });
postSnapshot.hasMany('comments'); // => [DS.Snapshot, DS.Snapshot]
postSnapshot.hasMany('comments', { ids: true }); // => ['2', '3']

// store.push('post', { id: 1, title: 'Hello World' });
postSnapshot.hasMany('comments'); // => undefined

Note: Relationships are loaded lazily and cached upon first access.

serialize (options) : Object

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:408

options
Object
returns
Object

an object whose values are primitive JSON values only

Properties

id

Module: ember-data

Defined in packages/ember-data/lib/system/snapshot.js:74
