ampersand-jsonapi-model

AmpersandJSONAPIModel is a JSON-API-compatible extension of the AmpersandJS Model.

It achieves this JSON-API compatibility by overriding select methods within ampersand-model and adding appropriate HTTP headers to requests.

Installing

npm install ampersand-jsonapi-model

API Reference

Except as described below, AmpersandJSONAPIModel has the same interface as AmpersandModel and AmpersandState.

To ensure this, AmpersandJSONAPIModel passes all tests for AmpersandModel (version 6.0.2).

The following methods have been overridden:

getAttributes model.getAttributes([options, raw])

This adds additional options for returning children and collections along with the standard session, props, and derived options.

parse model.parse(data)

This has been augmented to parse JSON-API formatted data: specifically a format in which model attributes are nested within the structure { data: { attributes: {} } }.

save model.save([attributes], [options])

This has been augmented in order to handle the special structure and additional relationship data included in saving to a JSON-API-compatible server.

serialize model.serialize()

This has been augmented in order to serialize data into the correct format expected by JSON-API.
