Ember HTTP Mocks RethinkDB Adapter

See Ember CLI mocks-and-fixtures documentation for information on how Ember CLI supports generators for http-mocks.

This addon extends the behavior of an http-mock by adding an adapter to a document store using RethinkDB. This is useful when you want to develop using live data that can be queried, e.g. with parameters like sortBy, limit, order, withFields, offset.

Below is an example request URI using a query supported by the rethinkdb_adapter

• http://localhost:4200/api/posts?limit=10&order=desc&offset=0&sortBy=date&withFields=title

Using this addon requires a local installation of RethinkDB and adapter.

For more information on using ember-cli, visit ember-cli.com.

Installation

npm install --save-dev rethinkdb_adapter
ember install:addon ember-http-mocks-rethinkdb-adapter

Generator: http-mocks-db

This addon uses Ember CLI generators to create a mock that is backed up by a document store db, i.e. RethinkDB

ember generate http-mocks-db `your-resource-name-pluralized`

For example use ember generate http-mocks-db posts for a collection of post models. And with Ember data return return this.store.find('post', { sortBy: 'date', order: 'desc', limit: 100 }) from your route's model hook. After creating some records with the db administration tools, then use your new endpoint backed by your db at http://localhost:4200/api/posts

After generating a db backed http-mock it may help to restart your app with ember server.

For more info on generators use ember help generate

RethinkDB

Here is a Ten-minute guide on RethinkDB

• Install options

For developers on a mac, install with Homebrew, here is a link to a shell script.

brew update && brew install rethinkdb

Starting your db

See the 30-second quickstart for how to start and use the db.

To start the db (and create a db, if one doesn't exist), in the root of your project use the command rethinkdb

Once you've started your db try out the administration-tools at http://localhost:8080

Back up your data

See the Back up your data guide for steps to import and export data.

Perhaps create a data directory in your project to keep db dumps.
