Usage with Fastboot

[devotox]

I believe the initializers cause a problem with Fastboot as I get an error that Error: Assertion failed: Your browser does not support IndexedDB! because trying to be run in Node I believe

I think right now the most elegant solution would be to add a filter to your strategies dealing with indexed-source with a check for FastBoot (something like typeof FastBoot !== 'undefined'). Look for filter usage on this page https://orbitjs.com/v0.16/guide/coordination.html#Request-strategies

Kinda related: I would love to add a shoebox source to ember-orbit. https://ember-fastboot.com/docs/user-guide#the-shoebox

I did all that but the actual problem seems to be in the data-buckets not data-strategies

Yes, you should not use data-bucket in FastBoot you will want to disable it. You can do it in the bucket initializer – skip registration if in FastBoot.

So rather than add the typeof FastBoot check it may be better to write out a file to fastboot/initializers/<bucket-name>-bucket-initializer.js with an empty initialize function which should override the app initializer in a fastboot environment. Would you like this as a PR to create this with the blueprints you already have?

export function initialize() {
    // Override app bucket initializer in fastboot environment
}

export default {
    name: 'main-bucket-initializer',
    after: 'ember-orbit-config',
    initialize
};

[tchak]

There is no app initializer for bucket. Bucket initializer is generated by running ember g data-bucket main. We could (and should) improve initializers with FastBoot support but the topic probably need a bit of planing and discussion. What do you think @dgeb?

[tchak]

Oh, I think I see what you mean about overriding app initializer. Seems fine. Maybe add an option --fastboot for generators?

[devotox]

It could also just see if ember-cli-fastboot package is installed and add the extra files if and only if it is

What do you guys think about this?
