Storefront query with reference objects

[ryanto]

You can pass objects by reference to ember data queries, so you can so something like...

this.store.loadRecords('post', { filter: { slugs: ['post-1', 'post-2'] } })

and the backend is going to get an array of slugs that it can use to filter

there's an issue where if storefront gets a mutable array, that array can be mutated, and internally change so the query ends up not reflecting the data

this.store.loadRecords('post', { filter: { slugs: this.queryParams.slugs } })

now as slugs get added and removed from some controller action, that same array is used in the query.

---

The fix here is to copy/clone reference objects that are passed to storefront.

Hey @charlesfries is this giving you trouble?

My recommendation would be to copy anything so you don't have pointers to stale objects.

For example, the original issue could be solved by using:

this.store.loadRecords('post', { filter: { slugs: [...this.queryParams.slugs] } })
