Ember Data

Ember Data is a library for loading data from a persistence layer (such as a JSON API), mapping this data to a set of models within your client application, updating those models, then saving the changes back to a persistence layer. It provides many of the facilities you'd find in server-side ORMs like ActiveRecord, but is designed specifically for the unique environment of JavaScript in the browser.

This is definitely alpha-quality. The basics work, but there are for sure edge cases that are not yet handled. Please report any bugs or feature requests, and pull requests are always welcome.

Is It Good?

Yes.

Is It "Production Ready™"?

No. The API should not be considered stable until 1.0. Breaking changes, indexed by date, are listed in BREAKING_CHANGES.md.

A guide is provided on the Ember.js site that is accurate as of revision 11.

Getting ember-data

Currently you must build ember-data.js yourself. Clone the repository, run bundle then rake dist. You'll find ember-data.js in the dist directory.

Roadmap

• Handle error states
• Better built-in attributes
• Editing "forked" records
• Out-of-the-box support for Rails apps that follow the active_model_serializers gem's conventions.
• Handle partially-loaded records

Unit Tests

To run unit tests, run bundle exec rackup from the root directory and visit http://localhost:9292/tests/index.html?package=ember-data.
