access ajax content before parsing

[sebyx07]

Is there a way to override how the store makes get/post request? i use base64 to compress the json and I need to inflate/deflate the content ?
Now I use plain ajax request and push the payload into the store

Hi @sebyx07. You can override the findAll, findRecord, updateRecord, createRecord methods on your Adapter to change how the ajax request is made. Also be sure to check out the Customizing Adapters guide for how to include a custom adapter in your app.

i just override the ajax(), had to uncompress they payload

now the adapter works for other models too

Hey @sebyx07, I was just looking at your gist and if I am not mistaken, you don't need to overwrite the ajax method as a whole. If you overwrite handleResponse of the adapter, your compression should work:

export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  handleResponse(status, headers, payload) {
    payload = uncompressToJSON(payload);

    return this._super(...arguments);
  }
}

In the gist you patched the parseResponseHeaders function too because of there was a bug when the header value contains a :. This has been fixed in #4137 so the patch isn't needed anymore.

Can you confirm that this works for you and close this issue if it does?
