EmberData 5.x: The New Era of Backend Integration
summary
EmberData 5.x shows a concrete replacement for adapters/serializers by wiring a PocketBase backend through the new store service, request manager and a handlers pipeline that performs header enrichment, mutation-body creation, request execution and JSON-API normalization. Identifiers and a pluggable cache let the handler read changed attributes and relationships, build flat PocketBase payloads, and rehydrate canonical records. Examples include live code for find/query/create flows, default request builders and a retry/loading handler; the release is available now to install and try.
