Elesticsearch and Emberjs - ember.js

Question

I'm trying to wire EmberJS with ElasticSearch. So far, I've read most of the Ember documentation, and found out this adapter for ElasticSearch.
The problem is I can't figure out how to use it (i.e. configure it so that when I call store.save(), my model is sent to ES.
What I have ATM is a newly created project with Ember generator (ember new ), and a generated controller, router, model, etc. My problem is that the Ember document explains how to customise adapters, but not how to use them (or I missed that part). The ES adapter's documentation says :
var App = Em.Application.create();
App.store = DS.Store.create({
revision: 4,
adapter: DS.ElasticSearchAdapter.create({url: 'http://localhost:9200'})
});
which implies to create a Store, whereas I can only see ways to extend it in the Ember documentation. Furthermore, I already have a Store in my application.
So the questions are:
do I need to override the store creation to replace it with the ES one (and where to do that) OR
do I need to extend the existing one, and in this case, how should I do that ?
Also, when it says:
First, load the ember-data/lib/adapters/elasticsearch_adapter.js file
in your application.
where and how that should be done ?

Answer 1

On your first questions/s
do I need to override the store creation to replace it with the ES one
(and where to do that) OR do I need to extend the existing one, and in
this case, how should I do that ?
You're onto the right track in the second part, you will need extend the existing one, but not the store, the adapter in this case.
So if you're using ember-cli, which according to this:
What I have ATM is a newly created project with Ember generator (ember
new )
It seems that you are and so you'll application folder structure should be like this:
app ->
adapters(you need to generate/create this)
components
controllers
models
routes
serializers
services
styles
templates
And now we can answer:
how should I do that ?
If you do not have the adapters folder yet, which you probably don't, just run ember generate adapter application or create a folder adapters, and a file application.js for that folder.
And that then finally leads us to a part of your last question.
load the ember-data/lib/adapters/elasticsearch_adapter.js file in your
application. where and how that should be done ?
import ElasticSearchAdapter from 'ember-data/lib/adapters/elasticsearch_adapter'
export default ElasticSearchAdapter.extend({
})
Now the possible bad news, that adapter is likely very outdated, as it the repository's last commit was 27 Dec 2012.
