Ember.js Persistence Foundation (epf) is a robust and stable framework for syncing client state with a persistent backend such as a REST API or socket connection. Defining characteristic of epf include:
- Correctness is paramount. All other features, including performance, are important, but secondary.
- Built around synchronization. Models are never locked and framework semantics assume updates are always coming in from a backend.
- Full support for relationships. Related models can be saved concurrently and the framework will automatically order requests around foreign key dependencies.
- Robust handling of conflicts and errors.
- Forking models is first-class within the framework.
- All operations are structured around javascript promises.
Epf is a functional alternative to ember-data and is used in production at GroupTalent with dozens of inter-related models.
