My favourite Ember (Data) quirk:

  this.get('store').createRecord('ModelName', {
    .. attrs ..
  }).save().then(function (model) {
    // Ember.isNone(model) === true
  }, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
  });
The fix: s/ModelName/modelName/

This works sometimes, and not others. The only indication of failure is the fact that the model is not loaded from the JSON response to the POST/PUT request. It's a subtle bug. I wasted a bunch of time tracking this down through the Ember Data internals (for a co-worker, but the original bug/typo could easily have been mine).

The other quirk is converting snake case to camel case and back:

  address_1 =(to camelcase)=> address1 =(to snakecase)=> address1
Oops! We only use capital letters to determine where underscores go! ;-)


This should be quite easy to fix, one would think. If the name can't resolve to a model class then it should be very vocal about it (i.e. throw error). I think you should create an issue for it on Github if there's not one already.


The funny thing was that the only thing preventing it from working (even though it shouldn't) was a one or two line change in the internal code that loads payloads into models. I actually thought that it was a bug until I realized what was happening (though it was still difficult because one of the methods that was being used is/was monkey-patched on at runtime, and therefore don't exist on any of the classes in the code).
