How to post to a custom endpoint with ember.js?

To post to a custom endpoint with Ember.js, you can use the $.ajax method provided by jQuery. Here's an example of how you can make a POST request to a custom endpoint:

1. Create a service or component in your Ember app where you will make the POST request. For example, you can create a service called custom-endpoint.
2. In the service/component file, import jQuery and define a method that makes the POST request. Here's an example code snippet:

import Service from '@ember/service';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
import { computed } from '@ember/object';

export default Service.extend({
  ajax: service(),

  postData(data) {
    return this.get('ajax').request('/your-custom-endpoint', {
      method: 'POST',
      data: data
    });
  },
});

1. In your controller or component where you want to make the POST request, inject the custom-endpoint service and call the postData method with the data you want to post. Here's an example code snippet:

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';

export default Controller.extend({
  customEndpoint: service(),

  actions: {
    async postData(data) {
      try {
        await this.get('customEndpoint').postData(data);
        console.log('POST request successful.');
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('POST request failed:', error);
      }
    },
  },
});

1. Finally, in your template file, trigger the postData action with the data you want to post when an event occurs. For example, you can trigger the action on a button click:

1

<button {{action "postData" someData}}>Post Data</button>

That's it! You have now posted data to a custom endpoint in Ember.js using the $.ajax method.
