Ember Data

Date / Time

To format dates and times in your template, use format-date e.g:

{{format-date
  task.created
  day="numeric"
  month="numeric"
  year="numeric"
  hour="numeric"
  minute="numeric"
}}

JSON API

Create an application adapter:

# app/adapters/application.js
export default class ApplicationAdapter extends JSONAPIAdapter {
  @service session;

  pathForType(type) {
    /** PJK 13/02/2023, I don't think we should need this... */
    return dasherize(type);
  }

  get headers() {
    let { token } = this.session.data.authenticated;
    return { Authorization: 'Token ' + token };
  }

  host = ENV.APP.API_URL;
  namespace = ENV.APP.API_NAMESPACE;
}

Create an application serializer:

# app/serializers/application.js
import JSONAPISerializer from '@ember-data/serializer/json-api';

export default class ApplicationSerializer extends JSONAPISerializer {}

Models

For a Django model e.g:

created = models.DateTimeField()

To check the json returned by a Django API:

from api.tests.fixture import api_client, date_to_ember_iso

assert {
    "count": 1,
    "next": None,
    "previous": None,
    "results": [
        {
            "id": note.pk,
            "created": date_to_ember_iso(note.created),
            "title": "Apple",
        },
    ],
} == response.json()

The Ember model:

created: DS.attr('date'),
