RemoteId example

[nicosefer]

Hi @dgeb
Could you please provide us an example with a remoteId use case? I couldn't find any, and i think it 's a hot topic, cause almost every offline approach ends in a sync with a remote server.
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks to @dgeb for providing me this snippet:

import JSONAPISource, { JSONAPISerializer } from '@orbit/jsonapi';
import Orbit from '@orbit/data';
import fetch from 'ember-network/fetch';

export default class MySerializer extends JSONAPISerializer {
  resourceKey(type) {
    return 'remoteId';
  }
}

export default {
  create(injections = {}) {
    // Use `fetch` implementation from `ember-network`
    Orbit.fetch = fetch;

    injections.SerializerClass = MySerializer;
    injections.name = 'remote';

    return new JSONAPISource(injections);
  }
};

@dgeb & @nicosefer ,

I appreciate your posts regarding the remoteId use case. I still seem to be having an issue when querying for a record. It seems that new uuid's are created in the deserializeResource method and when querying based on remoteId (server id) or id (ember orbit id) it seems to not find the record.

I believe this is due to this.keyMap.idToKey(type, resourceKey, id); in the resourceId method not finding the correct mapping. This makes sense considering the uuid I am querying changes every time the deserializeResource method is called.

Is there an expectation that the cache should be backed up with IndexedDB or similar for this use case? I knew it was option but was unsure if it was mandatory. Let me know if I can provide any additional information otherwise.

Thanks and appreciate the great work on this project!
