Class DS.HasManyReference

ids() returns an array of the record ids in this relationship.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.ids(); // ['1']

The link Ember Data will use to fetch or reload this has-many relationship.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        links: {
          related: '/posts/1/comments'
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.link(); // '/posts/1/comments'

Loads the relationship if it is not already loaded. If the relationship is already loaded this method does not trigger a new load.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.load().then(function(comments) {
  //...
});

The meta data for the has-many relationship.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        links: {
          related: {
            href: '/posts/1/comments',
            meta: {
              count: 10
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.meta(); // { count: 10 }

push can be used to update the data in the relationship and Ember Data will treat the new data as the canonical value of this relationship on the backend.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.ids(); // ['1']

commentsRef.push([
  [{ type: 'comment', id: 2 }],
  [{ type: 'comment', id: 3 }],
])

commentsRef.ids(); // ['2', '3']

Reloads this has-many relationship.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

commentsRef.reload().then(function(comments) {
  //...
});

This returns a string that represents how the reference will be looked up when it is loaded. If the relationship has a link it will use the "link" otherwise it defaults to "id".

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

// get the identifier of the reference
if (commentsRef.remoteType() === "ids") {
  let ids = commentsRef.ids();
} else if (commentsRef.remoteType() === "link") {
  let link = commentsRef.link();
}

value() synchronously returns the current value of the has-many relationship. Unlike record.get('relationshipName'), calling value() on a reference does not trigger a fetch if the async relationship is not yet loaded. If the relationship is not loaded it will always return null.

Example

export default DS.Model.extend({
  comments: DS.hasMany({ async: true })
});

let post = store.push({
  data: {
    type: 'post',
    id: 1,
    relationships: {
      comments: {
        data: [{ type: 'comment', id: 1 }]
      }
    }
  }
});

let commentsRef = post.hasMany('comments');

post.get('comments').then(function(comments) {
  commentsRef.value() === comments
})
