Where/How is Ember Data App.Model.find() called?

Question

My Ember app has just one model, Org,

App.Org = DS.Model.extend({
  name: DS.attr('string')
});

which is called inside the Route model through

App.Router.map(function(){
  this.resource('organization', {path: '/'});
});

App.OrganizationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return App.Org.find();
  }
});

and I am using the Local Storage Adapter.

So I expect the find() of the LSAdapter to be called. However it seems like this is not the case as I have put in

console.log("inside find of LSAdapter");

inside my modified version of LSAdapter's find function but that line is not printed in the console.

Here is the jsbin's code, where the js contains the modified LSAdapter on top and my Ember app on the bottom.
Here is the jsbin running, please open up the console.

So please help me figure out where/how find is called. Thanks.

The interesting thing is that the find method is delegated via DS.Store, so if you don't pass an id or a query object, it redirects to findAll on your adapter. That is why your console.log was not printing anything.

You can have a look at the delegation here: emberjs/[email protected]#428.

Bonus: If you have a route, and it has no children, it should not be a resource, unless you are using the implied index sub-route.

App.Router.map(function(){
  this.route('organization', {path: '/'});
});
