mongodb - Ember-data 'get' relationship promise returns null (identifier, not subdocument) -

i developing app uses express/mongodb ember frontend. failing access relationship data in ember.

there 3 collections: org, user, , location.

the organization schema exists on it's own in mongodb:

const organizationschema = new schema({     creationdate: {         type: date,          default: date.now     } }); 

the user , location schemas both have identifiers pointing organization defining relationship, eg.

const userschema = new schema({     organization: {         type: schema.objectid,         ref: 'organization',         index: true,         required: true     },      ... 

on frontend, in ember 'location' route, trying information async relationship between user , organization. want organization id model hook:

tl;dr returns null

return this.store.findrecord("user", this.get("session.currentuser.id"))   .then(user => user.get('organization')).then(data => console.log("show me org:", data)); 

if can find org id associated current user, figure, can find/create location id using this.store.findrecord()

problem is, console.log(data) returning null -- , what's more, can't view of relationship data models in ember inspector. see content: null

is falsely representing data in mongo schemas or ember-data models? ember-data models:

organization.js:

export default ds.model.extend({    location: ds.hasmany('location', {async: true}),   user: ds.belongsto('user', {async: true})  }); 

user.js:

export default ds.model.extend({   organization: ds.belongsto('organization', {async: true}),   email: ds.attr('string'),   firstname: ds.attr('string'),   lastname: ds.attr('string'),   registrationdate: ds.attr('date'),    fullname: ember.computed('firstname', 'lastname', function() {     return `${this.get('firstname')} ${this.get('lastname')}`;   }) }); 

location.js:

export default ds.model.extend(validations, {   organization: ds.belongsto('organization', {async: true}) }); 

currently, requests user route on backend return following relationship key in json payload:

{"organization":{"type":"organizations","id":"571974742ce868d575b79d6a"}} 

what doing wrong not able access information in ember data? sorry potential over-information / general noobery. been stuck on quite while.

edit: application serializer exists modify json payload relationships structure:

export default ds.jsonapiserializer.extend({      serialize(snapshot, options) {         let json = this._super(...arguments);          // json.data.relationships.user = json.data.relationships.user.data;          json.data.relationships = _.reduce(json.data.relationships, function (rels, val, key) {             rels[key] = val.data;             return rels;         }, {});          return json;     } }); 

edit: entire json payload response findrecord('user')

{"links":{"self":"/users/5719749a2ce868d575b79d6b"},"included":[{"type":"organizations","id":"571974742ce868d575b79d6a","links":{"self":"/organizations/571974742ce868d575b79d6a"},"attributes":{"creation-date":"2016-04-22t00:46:44.779z"}}],"jsonapi":{"version":"1.0"},"data":{"type":"users","id":"5719749a2ce868d575b79d6b","links":{"self":"/users/5719749a2ce868d575b79d6b"},"attributes":{"email":"danthwa@gmail.com","first-name":"daniel","last-name":"thompson","registration-date":"2016-04-22t00:47:22.534z"},"relationships":{"organization":{"type":"organizations","id":"571974742ce868d575b79d6a"}}}} 

your response contains organizations record id 571974742ce868d575b79d6a. ember-data use record , not fetch new record.

in ember records have complete! important understand. have record attributes or not @ all. if need split need use 2 models.

so can include attributes in included record, or don't sideload @ all.
