How to hit non REST endpoints with Ember Data 1.0 beta - ember.js

Question

My API is mostly restful except I have a /search endpoint on some resources. I'm using the DS.ActiveModelAdapter and DS.ActiveModelSerializer and everything is great.
My current implementation for search is somewhat like this:
makeAPICall: ->
#set('loading', true)
states = #get('selectedStates')
statesString = states.join(',')
query = #get('searchParam')
url = "/api/v1/organizations/search?#{statesString}&query=#{query}"
$.get(url).then (data) =>
#get('store').pushPayload(data)
# TODO this needs to go through the adapter.
orgs = data.organizations.map (org) =>
#store.find('organization', org.id)
#set('organizations', orgs)
#set('loading', false)
The problem is that I don't know how to do all the normalization/camelization that happens in the adapter in this case. Because the template relies on the #get('organizations') in this case, some underscored attributes don't show up.
What is the correct way to implement this?

Answer 1

The pushPayload is suposed to do the normalization/camelization but needs to know the type you are pushing, from the docs... but is in the v1.0.0-beta.3 version
var pushData = {
posts: [
{id: 1, post_title: "Great post", comment_ids: [2]}
],
comments: [
{id: 2, comment_body: "Insightful comment"}
]
}
store.pushPayload('post', pushData);
In your case the call should be
#get('store').pushPayload('organization', data)
And the data json an array of organizations
organizations:[
{id:1,...},
{id:2,...},
{id:3,...}
]
