ember-cached-shoe

This addon tries to improve ember-cli-fastboot rehydration process. App served by fastboot server resolves model hooks twice - in node.js environment and in the browser. This behaviour leads to making redundant requests and causes additonal slowdown after initial load.

This addon solves this problem.

Installation

ember install ember-cached-shoe

Usage

Add to your app/adapters/application.js:

import Ember        from 'ember'
import DS           from 'ember-data'
import CachedShoe   from 'ember-cached-shoe'
 
export default  DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend(CachedShoe, {
  // code ommited
})

It works with any type of adapter that implements ajax function (e.g. JSONAPIAdapter, RESTAdapter). Since now, second resolvation of model hooks, will serve cached response.

app/routes/my-route.js:

import Ember from 'ember'
 
export default  Ember.Route.extend({
  model() {
    this.store.findAll('posts') // called twice, second call serves cached response
  }
})

How it works

It leverages capabilities of fastboot.shoebox to store results of ajax calls performed on the server. Special token is generated for each request (based on url and data). Response is stored in shoebox under that token.
