Hi there, I am using Ember.js (http://emberjs.com/) for developing most of my frontend-applications and now using it in combination with Laravel as the backend, providing the REST-API.

There is one 'problem' though, when I want to provide a resource that includes a many-to-many relationship. So the code would be something like, Model::with(array('relationship1', 'relationship2')->get()->toArray(); and so far I am providing the resource via Response::json(compact('model')), which works when I provide simple models, but ember.js expects relationships to be sideloaded in a different way as provided here:

Is there any simple way of making Laravel provide my resources with relationships in that format? Right now I am creating the JSON response manually, which is quite tedious. Would be extremely helpful if anyone knows a better way. Thanks for any help.
