Class CurrentDeprecations

id: ember-data:deprecate-array-like

Deprecates Ember "Array-like" methods on RecordArray and ManyArray.

These are the arrays returned respectively by store.peekAll(), store.findAll()and hasMany relationships on instance of Model or record.hasMany('relationshipName').value().

The appropriate refactor is to treat these arrays as native arrays and to use native array methods.

For instance, instead of:

users.firstObject;

Use:

users[0];
// or
users.at(0);

id: ember-data:no-a-with-array-like

Deprecates when calling A() on an EmberData ArrayLike class is detected. This deprecation may not always trigger due to complexities in ember-source versions and the use (or disabling) of prototype extensions.

To fix, just use the native array methods instead of the EmberArray methods and refrain from wrapping the array in A().

Note that some computed property macros may themselves utilize A(), in which scenario the computed properties need to be upgraded to octane syntax.

For instance, instead of:

```ts class extends Component {

id:

This is a planned deprecation which will trigger when observer or computed chains are used to watch for changes on any EmberData RecordArray, ManyArray or PromiseManyArray.

Support for these chains is currently guarded by the inactive deprecation flag listed here.

id: ember-data:deprecate-early-static

This deprecation triggers if static computed properties or methods are triggered without looking up the record via the store service's modelFor hook. Accessing this static information without looking up the model via the store most commonly occurs when

• using ember-cli-mirage (to fix, refactor to not use its auto-discovery of ember-data models)
• importing a model class and accessing its static information via the import

Instead of

import User from 'my-app/models/user';

const relationships = User.relationshipsByName;

Do at least this

const relationships = store.modelFor('user').relationshipsByName;

However, the much more future proof refactor is to not use modelFor at all but instead to utilize the schema service for this static information.

const relationships = store.getSchemaDefinitionService().relationshipsDefinitionFor({ type: 'user' });

id: ember-data:deprecate-has-record-for-id

Deprecates store.hasRecordForId(type, id) in favor of store.peekRecord({ type, id }) !== null.

Broadly speaking, while the ability to query for presence is important, a key distinction exists between these methods that make relying on hasRecordForId unsafe, as it may report true for a record which is not-yet loaded and un-peekable. peekRecord offers a safe mechanism by which to check for whether a record is present in a usable manner.

id: ember-data:deprecate-errors-hash-to-array-helper id: ember-data:deprecate-errors-array-to-hash-helper id: ember-data:deprecate-normalize-modelname-helper

Deprecates errorsHashToArray errorsArrayToHash and normalizeModelName

Users making use of these (already private) utilities can trivially copy them into their own codebase to continue using them, though we recommend refactoring to a more direct conversion into the expected errors format for the errors helpers.

For refactoring normalizeModelName we also recommend following the guidance in RFC#740 Deprecate Non-Strict Types.

id: ember-data:deprecate-instantiate-record-args

Deprecates using the former 3rd and 4th arguments to Store.instantiateRecord which are now available as properties on the store.

old

{
  instantiateRecord(identifier, createArgs, recordDataFor, notifications) {
    const cache = recordDataFor(identifier);
  }
}

new

{
  instantiateRecord(identifier, createArgs) {
     const { cache, notifications } = this;
  }
}

id: ember-data:deprecate-secret-adapter-fallback

Deprecates the secret -json-api fallback adapter in favor or an explicit "catch all" application adapter. In addition to this deprecation ensuring the user has explicitly chosen an adapter, this ensures that the user may choose to use no adapter at all.

Simplest fix:

/app/adapters/application.js

export { default } from '@ember-data/adapter/json-api';

id: ember-data:deprecate-model-reopen

For properties known ahead of time, instead of

class User extends Model { @attr firstName; }

User.reopen({ lastName: attr() });

Extend User again or include it in the initial definition.

class User extends Model { @attr firstName; @attr lastName }

For properties generated dynamically, consider registering a SchemaDefinitionService with the store , as such services are capable of dynamically adjusting their schemas, and utilize the instantiateRecord hook to create a Proxy based class that can react to the changes in the schema.

Use Foo extends Model to extend your class instead

id: ember-data:deprecate-model-reopenclass

Instead of reopenClass, define static properties with native class syntax or add them to the final object.

// instead of
User.reopenClass({ aStaticMethod() {} });

// do this
class User {
  static aStaticMethod() {}
}

// or do this
User.aStaticMethod = function() {}

id: ember-data:non-explicit-relationships

Deprecates when polymorphic relationships are detected via inheritance or mixins and no polymorphic relationship configuration has been setup.

For further reading please review RFC#793 which introduced support for explicit relationship polymorphism without mixins or inheritance.

You may still use mixins and inheritance to setup your polymorphism; however, the class structure is no longer what drives the design. Instead polymorphism is "traits" based or "structural": so long as each model which can satisfy the polymorphic relationship defines the inverse in the same way they work.

Notably: inverse: null relationships can receive any type as a record with no additional configuration at all.

Example Polymorphic Relationship Configuration

```ts // polymorphic relationship class Tag extends Model {

id: ember-data:deprecate-promise-many-array-behavior

RFC Documentation

This deprecation deprecates accessing values on the asynchronous proxy in favor of first "resolving" or "awaiting" the promise to retrieve a synchronous value.

Template iteration of the asynchronous value will still work and not trigger the deprecation, but all JS access should be avoided and HBS access for anything but {{#each}} should also be refactored.

Recommended approaches include using the addon ember-promise-helpers, using Ember's resource pattern (including potentially the addon ember-data-resources), resolving the value in routes/provider components, or using the references API.

An example of using the hasMany reference API:

// get the synchronous "ManyArray" value for the asynchronous "friends" relationship.
// note, this will return `null` if the relationship has not been loaded yet
const value = person.hasMany('friends').value();

// to get just the list of related IDs
const ids = person.hasMany('friends').ids();

References participate in autotracking and getters/cached getters etc. which consume them will recompute if the value changes.

id: ember-data:deprecate-promise-proxies

Additional Reading: RFC#846 Deprecate Proxies

Deprecates using the proxy object/proxy array capabilities of values returned from

• store.findRecord
• store.findAll
• store.query
• store.queryRecord
• record.save
• recordArray.save
• recordArray.update

These methods will now return a native Promise that resolves with the value.

Note that this does not deprecate the proxy behaviors of PromiseBelongsTo. See RFC for reasoning. The opportunity should still be taken if available to stop using these proxy behaviors; however, this class will remain until import Model from '@ember-data/model'; is deprecated more broadly.

id: ember-data:deprecate-non-strict-relationships

Deprecates when belongsTo and hasMany relationships are defined without specifying whether the relationship is asynchronous.

The current behavior is that relationships which do not define this setting are aschronous ({ async: true }).

Instead of

```ts class Company extends Model {

id: ember-data:deprecate-non-strict-relationships

Deprecates when belongsTo and hasMany relationships are defined without specifying the inverse field on the related type.

The current behavior is that relationships which do not define this setting have their inverse determined at runtime, which is potentially non-deterministic when mixins and polymorphism are involved.

If an inverse relationship exists and you wish changes on one side to reflect onto the other side, use the inverse key. If you wish to not have changes reflected or no inverse relationship exists, specify inverse: null.

Instead of

```ts class Company extends Model {

id: ember-data:deprecate-non-strict-relationships

Deprecates when belongsTo and hasMany relationships are defined without specifying the inverse record's type.

Instead of

```ts class Company extends Model {

id: ember-data:rsvp-unresolved-async

Deprecates when a request promise did not resolve prior to the store tearing down.

Note: in most cases even with the promise guard that is now being deprecated a test crash would still be encountered.

To resolve: Tests or Fastboot instances which crash need to find triggers requests and properly await them before tearing down.

id: ember-data:model-save-promise

Affects

• model.save / store.saveRecord
• model.reload

Deprecates the promise-proxy returned by these methods in favor of a Promise return value.

To resolve this deprecation, await or .then the return value before doing work with the result instead of accessing values via the proxy.

To continue utilizing flags such as isPending in your templates consider using ember-promise-helpers

id: ember-data:deprecate-snapshot-model-class-access

Deprecates accessing the factory class for a given resource type via properties on various classes.

Guards

• SnapshotRecordArray.type
• Snapshot.type
• RecordArray.type

Use store.modelFor(<resource-type>) instead.

id: ember-data:deprecate-store-find

Deprecates using store.find instead of store.findRecord. Typically store.find is a mistaken call that occurs when using implicit route behaviors in Ember which attempt to derive how to load data via parsing the route params for a route which does not implement a model hook.

To resolve, use store.findRecord. This may require implementing an associated route's model() {} hook.

id: ember-data:deprecate-string-arg-schemas

Deprecates schema.attributesDefinitionFor(type) and schema.relationshipsDefinitionFor(type) in favor of a consistent object signature (identifier | { type }).

To resolve change

- store.getSchemaDefinitionService().attributesDefinitionFor('user')
+ store.getSchemaDefinitionService().attributesDefinitionFor({ type: 'user' })

id: ember-data:deprecate-v1cache-store-apis

Deprecates various methods on the store and store-cache-wrapper that were specific to the v1 cache.

Most applications should not encounter this deprecation, but if you do it means that an addon you are using is likely using these methods as part of having implemented its own cache.

The implementation will need to update to the V2 Cache API equivalent method as detailed in the deprecation method. Generally this means the implementation needs to be more broadly reworked to use the newer V2.1 Cache API.

id: ember-data:deprecate-v1-cache

Deprecates instantiating a non-singleton cache via store.createRecordDataFor in favor of a singleton-cache via store.createCache.

Most applications should not encounter this deprecation, but if you do it means that an addon you are using is likely using an unsupported cache implementation.

The implementation will need to update to the V2 Cache API and be integrated via the createCache hook.
