Polymorphic belongsTo

[NullVoxPopuli]

Not sure if this'd be solved in adapter-space, or if I've configured something wrong. But I have the following models:

Identity

export default class Identity extends Model implements Partial<PublicKey> {
// ...
}

User

export default class User extends Identity implements Partial<KeyPair> {
  @attr() privateKey!: Uint8Array;
}

Contact

export default class Contact extends Identity {
  @attr() onlineStatus?: STATUS;
}

Message

export default class Message extends Model {
  @belongsTo('identity', { async: false, polymorphic: true }) sender?: Identity;
}

My Adapter and Serializer config:

import LFAdapter from 'ember-localforage-adapter/adapters/localforage';

export default LFAdapter.extend({
  caching: 'none',

  shouldBackgroundReloadRecord() {
    return true;
  },

  shouldBackgroundReloadAll() {
    return true;
  },
});

import LFSerializer from 'ember-localforage-adapter/serializers/localforage';

export default LFSerializer;

The problem I'm having is that I have a Message with sender id of a contact.

Here is the current state of indexeddb so, it looks like the relationship information in localforage loses the type.

I almost wonder if this adapter should just use jsonapi for storage, since it's the most semantically correct for relational data.

Yeah, jsonapi is the one true way.

all the information is just right there :)

Just need to figure out how to get serialization and deserialization working better.

On the plus side, with jsonapi, we can delete the serializer for localforage-adapter :)
