TypeError: Cannot set property 'store' of undefined

Question

I am having trouble loading a model instance in ember js with ember-data. An exception is thrown when using the function store.find . Instances are created with the FixtureAdapter. The problem occurs when hasMany relations are defined in the model.

App = Ember.Application.create();

App.Store = DS.Store.extend({
    adapter: DS.FixtureAdapter
});

App.Country = DS.Model.extend({
    'name': DS.attr('string'),
    'cities': DS.hasMany('city', {embedded: true})
});

App.City = DS.Model.extend({
    'name': DS.attr('string'),
    'country': DS.belongsTo('country')
});

App.City.FIXTURES = [{
}];

App.Country.FIXTURES = [{
    'id': 1,
    'name': 'USA',
    'cities': [{id: 1, name: 'New York'}, {id: 2, name: 'San Francisco'}]
},{
    'id': 2,
    'name': 'Kanada',
    'cities': [{id: 3, name: 'Montreal'}]
}];

App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {
        var store = this.store;
        var country = store.find('country', 1);
        return country;
    }
});

hasMany fixtures should be defined like this imo "id1: cities : [1,2]" — kristjan reinhold

thx, it works like that. I'm still wondering why embedded syntax cannot be used. — Andreas Straninger

How were you able to tell that the issue was related to the cities field from the provided traceback? — freakTheMighty

If your API is returning data in that format you can use a serializer to convert it to the format that Ember Data is expecting. Try this:

App.CountrySerializer = DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
  normalizePayload: function(type, payload) {
    var tempCities = payload.country.cities;
    payload.country.cities = [];
    tempCities.forEach(function(city) {
      payload.country.cities.push(city.id);
    });
    payload.cities = tempCities;
    return this._super(type, payload);
  },
})

For the moment, I'd like to use fixtures without a server connection. Is it possible to realize that with the RESTSerializer?

I've never used fixtures, but the serializer doesn't care where the data came from. You should be able to use a FixtureAdapter to fetch the data and still use a sub-class of RESTSerializer to process it. In any event you can override the normalizePayload function of which ever serializer you are using.
