How do I use the JSONP datatype with Ember Data?

Question

How do I set up Ember Data to use the JSONP datatype when making its ajax calls? I am going to be using Ember with Phonegap and need to make cross-domain requests.

Answer 1

It's much easier to override the private ajaxOptions function instead of using jQuery. Ember's pipeline includes the removal of the jQuery dependency anyways. So do this instead:

adapters/application.js:

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
    ajaxOptions: function(url, type, options) {
        var hash = this._super(url, type, options);
        hash.dataType = "jsonp";
        return hash;
    }
});

It would be create if the Ember core team could expose a public method to officially support this (instead of hacking a private api).
