How to get store name of Ember Data model

Question

How can I determine the "store name" (not sure what the proper terminology is) for a given ED Model? Say I have App.Payment, is there a store method that let's me look up its corresponding name, i.e. payment (for example to use in find queries)?

For Ember Data 1.0 (and later)

modelName is a dasherized string. It stored as a class property, so if you have an instance of a model:

var model = SuperUser.create();
console.log(model.constructor.modelName); // 'super-user'

For Ember Data Pre 1.0

typeKey is the string name of the model. It gets stored as a class property of the model, so if you have an instance of a model:

var model = App.Name.create({});
console.log(model.constructor.typeKey); // 'name'
