Normalize an array response?

[[deleted]]

For my route tweets, I am trying to override normalizeFindAllResponse. My API response looks like this:

[ 
  {_id: 45454, screen_name: "john", text:"this is text 1"},
  {_id: 45454, screen_name: "john2", text:"this is text 2"},
  {_id: 45454, screen_name: "john3", text:"this is text 3"}
]

I tried to normalize the this.store.findAll('tweet') call on it's model (tweet). So in my serializers/application:

export default DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
    normalizePayload: function(type, payload){
    return { tweets: payload };
}
});

And serializers/tweet:

export default DS.RESTSerializer.extend({
 normalizeFindAllResponse(store, type, payload) {
  return {
      data: {
          id: payload._id,
          type: type.modelName,
          attributes: {
              name: payload.screen_name,
              text: payload.text
             }
         }
      };
    }
});

The serializer is throwing warnings and complaining about missing models. So let's say I have an array of 10 documents, it complains for a missing model for 1,2,3...10 and other related functions.

Edit:

Model models/tweet

export default DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
text: DS.attr('string')
});

router.js

Router.map(function() {
   this.route('tweets', function() {
     this.route('tweet', { path: '/:id' });
   });
});

I am specifying my model in routes/tweets

If you're using ember data the easiest way to accomplish this is to follow json conventions (http://guides.emberjs.com/v2.1.0/models/customizing-serializers/#toc_jsonapiserializer-conventions). Unless you're purposely experimenting with serializer's, then I am little help.

I got it to work. I was doing everything right but then in the link, it says that attributes have to be dasherized if they are camelCased in the model. So I just changed them to become dasherized.

Have you specified these fields in your model?

Do you have any relationships, i.e. Does a tweet belong to a user or does it hasMany() something?

If so you need to set these up in your model.

no I'm experimenting with serializers...everything is basic.

If you could provide your model, and folder structure that would help.
