Only absolute URLs are supported about ember-fetch HOT 11 CLOSED

Like @ryanto said, in order for fetch (or najax for that matter) to use relative requests it needs access to fastboot service, so the only way right now is to use a service to make your requests. I think it might be possible to dereference request information from fastboot service as a global in an instance-initializer, but seems hakish...

I have an addon with a fetch service https://github.com/tchak/ember-fetch-adapter
It obviously needs more docs...

Great question! There are things that could to do resolve, but I think the fundamental issue is that when running fastboot the app itself does not have awareness of where it is being served from. Therefore it can’t know current protocol (e.g. for //foo.com style URLs) or host (e.g. /path type URLs).

To fix this we would need an API from fastboot to be told where we are being served from. I personally can’t recall if that is already a “thing” we support (quick search didn’t lead to an answer).

@kratiahuja - Do you recall?

Fastboot has an initializer that configures node-ajax with the request's host: https://github.com/ember-fastboot/ember-cli-fastboot/blob/master/fastboot/initializers/ajax.js

Not sure how to do this with node-fetch though.

We could probably do the same thing here, right @ryanto?

You would have to wrap fetch, build an absolute url, and then call the original fetch with the full url.

@dfreeman did something like this in addon docs: ember-learn/ember-cli-addon-docs#179

And ember-data will do it for you too: https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/addon/adapters/rest.js#L1081-L1103

I know ember-data works, but I don't really do much that actually needs ember-data, and for anyone who doesn't need it, it would be nice to still have first class support. I will try out your fetch service addon @tchak. Thanks!

@rwwagner90 oh I absolutely agree with you we need better support for this without ember-data.

@rwjblue or @kratiahuja do you think it would be reasonable to expose request information on the global FastBoot?

from ember-fetch.

@rwwagner90 totally agree. Our team has never got to grips with / seen the benefit of ember data.

@tchak I tried your service and it threw an error. I opened an issue. tchak/ember-fetch-adapter#1
