Extending ApplicationAdapter in ember-data 1.0.0-beta

Question

In ember-data v0.14 (pre beta). You could do simply extend model functionality to add extra api calls, like voting on a post.

// ember-data v0.14
App.Post.reopenClass({
  vote: function(post_id) {
    return console.log('vote');
  }
});

But after ember-data beta, this doesn't work anymore. So i think the best place to put this code is in App.PostAdapter. But when i tried to extend from App.ApplicationAdapter.extend it didn't work.

// ember-data beta (doesn't work)
App.PostAdapter = App.ApplicationAdapter.extend({
  vote: function(post_id) {
    return console.log('vote');
  }
});

Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? and if you have a better suggestion on where should I put these kind of calls, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

You should just be able to include the method in your normal class definition (using extend) and then call it on any live object.

App.Post = DS.Model.extend({
  vote: function(post_id) {
    return console.log('vote');
  }
});

Then somewhere else, say your PostController, you'd have something like this (assuming your PostRoute is doing the normal things):

App.PostController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
  actions:{
    recordVote : function(){
      this.get('content').vote();
    }
  }
});
