CloudCode Functions?

[srsgores]

Is there a way to get cloudcode functions working? I want to be able to query a certain model with a POST request, passing in geolocation data.

POST http://api.parse.com/1/functions/proximity

with

{
lat: 51.0453738,
lon: -114.0566039,
limit: 20, radius: 10,
parseClass: "Event",
distance: 2
}

Is this possible yet? If not, how can it be implemented?

I accomplished this by editing the pathForType function in addon/adapters/application.js. Add a case for "functions". Then I use this code to make a function call:

Adapter.ajax(Adapter.buildURL("function", "someCloudFunction"), "POST", {
        data: {
          foo: bar
        }
      });

@joshfester nice one!

@JoshFoster, would you have to use a model of type function in that case? What would ember data integration look like?

[joshfester]

In my app it ended up being easiest to just put the functions on the application route since I only use a handful of cloud functions.

To me it would make the most sense if every model could have "functions" the same way that controllers have "actions". Then you could call someModel.cloudFunction(data)

@joshfester, can you provide an example? In my case, I'm simply looking to query a set of data based on the user's current location, so I don't quite follow how I would set a route's model to the result.

Perhaps you could add an example to the dummy app?

@srsgores sorry I should have clarified. My suggestion was a feature request to solve this issue via the adapter. In your case I'd suggest using my quick fix until support gets added to the adapter.
