Ember ajax file download

If you need to override the namespace for a custom request, use the namespace as an option to the request methods. This is especially helpful so you don't have to continually pass in the host along with the path, makes request a bit cleaner. To include a custom host to be used with your requests, you can specify host property on the Ajax Service. You can also override the Content-Type per request with the options parameter.

Some APIs respond with status code , even though an error has occurred and provide a status code in the payload. With the service, you can easily account for this behaviour by overwriting the isSuccess method. This allows you to restrict determination of error result to the service instead of sprinkling it around your code. Use of these functions is strongly encouraged to help eliminate the need for boilerplate error detection code.

If your errors aren't standard, the helper function for that error type can be used as the base to build your custom detection function. If you need to access the json response of a request that failed, you can use the raw method instead of request. Note that in this use case there's no access to the error object.

You can inspect the jqXHR object for additional information about the failed request. In particular jqXHR. That's all the configuration required!
