Model relationships in Ember

Can someone explain the meaning of the option you can use for relationships in Ember data?

for example I can have:

products: DS.hasMany('product', {embedded: 'always'})

or 

products: DS.hasMany('product', {async: 'true'})

The first one tells Ember data that products records are sideloaded and the second one tells to send asynchronous GET request for products when they are needed; is that right? These two are the only options available? Is there some place where you can find more docs about relationships?

Honestly documentation is kind of waiting on the api to solidify. The best place for documentation right now is the transition document https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/TRANSITION.md and the source code https://github.com/emberjs/data .

Additionally {embedded: always} is deprecated/removed. Now you define embedded on the serializer whilst using the EmbeddedRecordsMixin.

App.PostSerializer = DS.ActiveModelSerializer.extend(DS.EmbeddedRecordsMixin, {
    attrs: {
      comments: {embedded: 'always'}
    }
  })

There is more info in the source here: https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/packages/activemodel-adapter/lib/system/embedded_records_mixin.js
