Using Ember Data 2.0.0-beta1 with ActiveModel::Serializer::Adapter::JsonApi

[mattboldt]

Since the new ember no longer has DS.ActiveModelSerializer or DS.ActiveModelAdapter, I'm looking to switch to their new DS.JSONAPISerializer. This seems to be the best way to go, if the previous two won't be supported in the future.

Ember is expecting the data from the api to be something like

store.push({
  data: {
    id: '1', 
    type: 'user', 
    attributes: { 
      name: 'Pangratz' 
    }
  }
});

But from my rails app, with the :json_api option set to true, my api is returning user as users plural.

  data: {
    id: '1', 
    type: 'users', 
    attributes: { 
      name: 'Pangratz' 
    }
  }

Ember expects a singular model name, and as such cannot push data.

Right, the JSONAPI spec does not take a stance on whether the type should be singular or plural. I think there should be a global config for ActiveModel::Serializer to pluralize or not the resources.

I'm working on a PR to add this. Should be ready in a few minutes. Could you test it when it's out?

[mattboldt]

Absolutely!

@mattboldt Here it is. Simply set ActiveModel::Serializer.config.jsonapi_resource_type = :singular and it should work.

Yes, this worked! Thanks so much.
