Using Fixtures

Fixtures are used for developing the client-side web applications. You can attach fixtures to the model's class which holds the sample data.

App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.FixtureAdapter;

DS.Model.extend({
   //define data model
});

FIXTURES =[ //define sample data  ];

In the above code, FIXTURE holds the sample data to be displayed on the browser.

            //adapter translating requested records into the appropriate calls
            adapter: 'DS.FixtureAdapter'
         });

         //Creating A Fixture Adapter
         App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.FixtureAdapter.extend();

         //Define Your Model
         App.Person = DS.Model.extend({
            name: DS.attr('string')
         });

         App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
            //index route
            model: function() {
               //return the person details
               return this.store.find('person');
            }
         });

         //Attach Fixtures To The Model Class
         App.Person.FIXTURES = [
            {id: 1, name: 'Virat'},
            {id: 2, name: 'Raina'},
            {id: 3, name: 'Dhoni'}];
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
