WarpDrive / Ember Data Reference

Overview

A3 uses WarpDrive, the next generation of Ember Data. With 823+ file imports, this is the single most-used package in the A3 codebase. It provides the entire data layer: identity map, caching, request lifecycle, relationships, serialization, and reactivity.

Key packages:

• @warp-drive/core — Core primitives (identifiers, request management, cache)
• @warp-drive/ember — Ember integration (<Request> component, reactive documents)
• @warp-drive/json-api — JSON:API cache implementation
• @warp-drive/legacy — Legacy compatibility layer for classic Ember Data APIs
• @warp-drive/utilities — Utility functions
• @ember-data/adapter — Adapter interface (how data reaches the persistence layer)
• @ember-data/serializer — Serializer interface (how raw payloads become normalized records)
• @ember-data/model — Model class, @attr, @belongsTo, @hasMany
• @ember-data/graph — Relationship graph (tracks all relationship state)
• @ember-data/store — The Store service itself
