What can you do with Ember Data Models when in the error state?

Question

I\'m struggling to understand the workflow that would be used in the following scenario:

A user creates a model, let\'s call it Product. We present them with a form

Answer 1

You could try creating a parallel representation of the model as an Ember.Object that is not persisted but has the same properties as your persisted model. If your ajax bounces back in an error state you can use the error callback provided by the ajax method to do something.

In this case, the "something" might be to delete the record, and then clone the properties from your dummy object into a new record and re-save the record. On a success callback simply destroy your temp object and if all records are clean then clear your temp objects (to prevent lingering temp objects).

This could also be insane... but it strikes me as an option.
