Prevent Ember from fetching related model

Question

I have a device model, which has one (belongsTo) an ingest model.

Elsewhere in my app, I have a device loaded, and need to know if the device has an ingest present on it. I check it like this:

return this.get('device.ingest') === null;

By calling device.ingest, Ember automatically issues an AJAX request to .find('ingest', device.ingest.id). I really just want to know if it's there or not, I don't want to fetch it.

How can I do this?

It's a bit ugly, but you could access to private property of the model: this.get('device')._data.ingest === undefined or this.get('device')._data.ingest_id === undefined (depends of your naming system).

shouldn't this simply work for you?

return this.get('device.data.ingest.id') === null /* or undefined */;
