using dynamic models

[zardaloop]

I am creating my models dynamically after loading the schema from the server using

Ember.getOwner(store).register('model: modelName', DS.Model.extend(attributes));

It seems this addon need the actual files for models to be bale to create the models. Is there anyway around that?

Is there anyway to add them into the store which ember-admin use at the same time ?

It already does pull model types dynamically: https://github.com/DockYard/ember-admin/blob/master/addon/routes/admin.js#L10

but the models do need to be registered with the admin store: https://github.com/DockYard/ember-admin/blob/master/addon/stores/admin.js you are likely only making your primary store aware of them

The admin store is here: https://github.com/DockYard/ember-admin/blob/master/app/initializers/admin.js#L4

FWIW, this path is out of date as the primary ember store has been changed to service:store. This addon should be updated to do the same, likely service:store:admin

Thanks @bcardarella if I understand you correct I have try to change that to service:store:admin and now I get this error

no, I was talking about a change I will likely make in the future.

For the time being you should use store:admin

How do I register them with the admin store?

[bcardarella]

How are you getting the primary store to recognize the models?

[zardaloop]

I get store from the service by doing something like this

const { inject: { service } } = Ember;
export default Ember.Service.extend({
 store: service(),

then I have function in the service lets call it generateModels() where inside that I create an attribute object with all the attributes and their types from the schema like

var tableColumns = { name: DS.attr(string), surname: DS.attr(string)};

then inside the function I get the store and register the tableColumns

let store = this.get('store');
Ember.getOwner(store).register('model: user', DS.Model.extend(tableColumns));

obviously there is loop and I do the same for all the models inside the schema.

[bcardarella]

you'll have to do something similar:

let adminStore = getOwner(this).lookup('store:admin');
adminStore.register('model:user', DS.Model.extend(tableColumns));

[zardaloop]

Perfect I think there is only one little issue left here I get this error

TypeError: adminStore.register is not a function

I am using it inside a service does that make any difference when I call getOwner(this) ?

[bcardarella]

Oh, it looks like it just registers on the owner which should be OK. I'll reopen this and see why its not getting the new models.

Just to be clear: is your primary store getting these dynamic models?

[zardaloop]

Thanks, Yes my primary model works fine, also all the hasMany and BelongTo relations work

[bcardarella]

no, I'm asking if these models are accessible via your primary store?

[zardaloop]

well when I define them, then I can use all those models to create and load data etc. However ember uses lazy so they are not created until the first record is created if this is what you are asking. did I answer the question yet?
But to be clear store knows about those model, because if I try to create a record for a model it doesn't know about then it complains and give error.
