How to properly use parameters in Ember query? - ember.js

Question

I have been trying to implement pagination (I've tried both ember-cli-pagination and ember-simple-pagination) for my application but I've had a lot of issues. So I decided to try custom pagination and noticed that I cannot pass parameters into my query. For instance, when visiting my api at: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?_start=0&_limit=10, start and limit both work properly. When calling it in my route, it seems to ignore that entirely and just give me all entries. I would appreciate all insight into what I am doing wrong or how to properly implement pagination in this case.
app/adapters/post.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
host:'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
pathForType(){
return 'posts';
}
});
app/models/post.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
const { Model } = DS;
export default Model.extend({
user:DS.belongsTo('user'),
title:DS.attr('string'),
body:DS.attr('string'),
});
app/routes/post.js
import Route from '#ember/routing/route';
import { set } from '#ember/object';
import { hash } from 'rsvp';
export default Route.extend({
model() {
return hash({
post: this.store.query('post', {
start: 0,
limit: 10
}),
user: this.store.findAll('user')
});
},
setupController(controller, model) {
this._super(...arguments);
set(controller, 'posts', model.post);
set(controller, 'users', model.user);
}
});

You need define the query params in both side Route and Controller.
app/routes/post.js
import Route from '#ember/routing/route';
import { set } from '#ember/object';
import { hash } from 'rsvp';
export default Route.extend({
queryParams = {
start: {
refreshModel: true
},
limit: {
refreshModel: true
}
},
model() {
return hash({
post: this.store.query('post', {
start: 0,
limit: 10
}),
user: this.store.findAll('user')
});
},
setupController(controller, model) {
this._super(...arguments);
set(controller, 'posts', model.post);
set(controller, 'users', model.user);
}
});
And inside app/controllers/post.js
import Controller from '#ember/controller';
export default class ArticlesController extends Controller {
queryParams = ['start', 'limit'];
start = 1;
limit = 5;
}
Ember by default does not call model when query params are changed. We tell it to do so any time start/limit changes, through refreshModel: true.
