How to load nested records (master-detail records) using Ember Data?

Question

The master record, app/models/account:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.Model.extend({
  username: DS.attr('string'),
  emailaddress: DS.hasMany('emailaddresses'),
  birthdate: DS.attr('date'),
  gender: DS.attr('boolean')
});

The detail record, app/models/emailaddress:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.Model.extend({
  account: DS.belongsTo('account'),
  emailaddress: DS.attr('string'),
  verificationcode: DS.attr('string'),
  isverified: DS.attr('string')
});

The dummy JSON string from the server:

{"id":0,"username":"ikevin","birthdate":"Jan 30, 2017 1:34:38 PM","gender":true,"emailaddresses":[{"id":0,"emailaddress":"[email protected]","verificationcode":"AAAAAA","isverified":false}]}

The adapter /app/adapters/account.js

import ApplicationAdapter from './application';

export default ApplicationAdapter.extend({

  urlForQueryRecord(query) {
    if (query.profile) {
      delete query.profile;
      return `${this._super(...arguments)}/profile`;
    }

    return this._super(...arguments);
  }

});

The route app/route/index.js:

import Ember from 'ember';
import RSVP from 'rsvp';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model() {
    return RSVP.hash({
      walletbalance: this.get('store').queryRecord('wallet', {balance: true}),
      instagramfriendscount: this.get('store').queryRecord('instagram', {friendscount: true}),
      accountprofile: this.get('store').queryRecord('account', {profile: true})
    });
  }
});

And the app/templates/components/account-profile.hbs:

<div class="box">
  <div class="title">Your Profile</div>
  <div>Username: {{account.accountprofile.username}}</div>
  <div>Email Address: {{account.accountprofile.emailaddess}}</div>
  <div>Birthdate: {{account.accountprofile.birthdate}}</div>
  <div>Gender: {{account.accountprofile.gender}}</div>
</div>

I think there are 2 problems here:

In the Chrome Ember plugin, the data for model type "emailaddress" is always 0. So, that means it is not loaded.
In the app/templates/components/account-profile.hbs, {{account.accountprofile.emailaddess}}is not referring to the correct field. Note: for now it is expected to display only 1 email address.

How do I resolve these problems to load and display nested records?

Thanks!

Yes, I resolved it myself:

I changed it to Nested Arrays (as specified here: http://thejsguy.com/2016/01/29/working-with-nested-data-in-ember-data-models.html)

So the string returned from the server becomes:

{"id":0,"username":"ikevin","birthdate":"Jan 30, 2017 2:01:14 PM","gender":true,"emailaddresses":[{"emailaddress":"[email protected]","verificationcode":"AAAAAA","isverified":false}]}

And in the .hbs:

<div>Email Address: {{account.accountprofile.emailaddresses.0.emailaddress}}</div>

It displays the email address!

Thanks!
