Returning a value that is not really a model using ember

I am using ember-data.

I have a search screen that lazy loads data using ember.infinitescroll. I need to display the total number of records returned (which I can only find out by doing a server call as I don't have all records loaded locally)

The result will be something like this (the format can change as necessary)

{
  "totalRecords" : 552
}

This is not really a model, what is the best way of achieving this?

You want to use meta in your API response. Ember data is aware of this

HTTP API Response

{
  posts: [ ... ]
  meta: {
    page: 5,
    totalPages: 70,
    totalRecords: 700
  }
}

Ember code would be:

result = this.store.find('post', { page: 5 });
totalRecords = result.get("content.meta.totalRecords");
