loadRelations can be used to load this data via stored related link #25Description
In my application we don't always include the relationship data with the primary data object. This causes a problem when I later try to load the related data using DS.loadRelations as it doesn't know what the links are.
The issue is around the test for hasData in JsonApiSerializer.ts. I believe there are two issues here:
- Relationships don't always include
datakey, but we should still add the links to theJSONAPI_META.relationships. - Relationships that are null or an empty array are still valid. For example a User could have a null profile picture before they've added one, and the User might have an empty list of comments because they haven't made any yet.
I've created a branch on my fork to support my work trying to address this issue. If you have any suggestions then I would be happy to discuss. I'll submit a pull request when I have something.
