Can I specify a Store on a Ember js model?

Question

I am trying to use multiple stores in Ember because I have namespaced models on the api side.

Aka

App.Gl.Account = DS.Model.extend //Needs to route to /gl/accounts

App.Company = DS.Model.extend //Routes to /companies

My first thought was to define a namespace

App.Gl = Ember.Namespace.create({});
//and a store
App.Gl.Store = DS.Store.extend({adapter:DS.RESTAdapter({namespace:'gl'})});
App.Store = DS.Store.extend({adapter:DS.RESTAdapter})

problem is the model is automatically binded to the App.Store.

Any other suggestions on how to accomplish namespaced models would be helpful. I dont even need them namespaced on the client js side, as long as there is an easy way to specify the namespace for each individual model

Answer 1

You should never have more than one store in an Ember application.

Instead, you can register adapters for specific types:

App.Store.registerAdapter('App.Post', DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  // implement adapter; in this case
  url: "/gl"
}));

You will probably want to use the RESTAdapter as a starting point, unless you have specific needs and are willing to get down and dirty with the (still evolving) adapter API.
