Ember-data embedded objects stored as separate objects

Question

I was wondering if it would be possible to define a model stored into another one.

I have this kind of structure:

Model Contact
    String name
    M

You are using the RESTadapter... when you are saving you want to serialize all the relationships embedded?

When you are saving or updating your record pass in the options hash to the toJSON method with

{associations: true}

Take a look at the unit tests on ember-data for examples: https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/packages/ember-data/tests/unit/to_json_test.js

deepEqual(record.toJSON({ associations: true }),
        { id: 1, name: "Chad", phone_numbers: [{
            id: 7,
            number: '123'
          },
          {
            id: 8,
            number: '345'
          },
          {
            id: 9,
            number: '789'
          }
        ]},
        "association is updated after editing associations array");
});

Hope this helps..
