Overview of this book

Ember.js is an open source JavaScript framework that will make you more productive. It uses common idioms and practices, making it simple to create amazing single-page applications. It also lets you create code in a modular way using the latest JavaScript features. Not only that, it has a great set of APIs to get any task done. The Ember.js community is welcoming newcomers and is ready to help you when needed. This book provides in-depth explanations on how to use the Ember.js framework to take you from beginner to expert. You’ll start with some basic topics and by the end of the book, you’ll know everything you need to know to build a fully operational Ember application. We’ll begin by explaining key points on how to use the Ember.js framework and the associated tools. You’ll learn how to effectively use Ember CLI and how to create and deploy your application. We’ll take a close look at the Ember object model and templates by examining bindings and observers. We’ll then move onto Ember components, models, and Ember Data. We’ll show you examples on how to connect to RESTful databases. Next we’ll get to grips with testing with integration and acceptance tests using QUnit. We will conclude by covering authentication, services, and Ember add-ons. We’ll explore advanced topics such as services and initializers, and how to use them together to build real-time applications.

Working with relationships


When working with a data store, you'll need to be able to handle relationships. In this recipe, we'll go over some common relationships from one-to-many and many-to-one and also how to use it with Ember Data.

Getting ready

As with the other recipes, we'll be using Ember CLI Mirage to mock our backend. In this recipe, we'll create a simple one-to-many and many-to-one relationship. We'll mock a school that has instructors and classes. For every class, there is one instructor. Every instructor will have one or more classes.

  1. Create a new Ember application. In this application, generate the following files:

    $ ember install ember-cli-mirage
    $ ember g model instructor
    $ ember g model class
    $ ember g route index
    $ ember g helper addone
    $ ember g adapter application
    $ ember g fixture classes
    $ ember g fixture instructors
    

    This will create the models, route, adapter, and helper that we'll need for this application.

  2. In the mirage fixtures folder, update these two files, classes...
