For applications that still need najax (for example, if they are using
an older ember-data version), they can do (example uses new
buildSandboxGlobals API):

const najax = require('najax');

let fastboot = new FastBoot({
  distPath: 'some/path/to/dist',
  buildSandboxGlobals(globals) {
    return Object.assign({}, globals, {
      najax,
    });
  }
});

See #246 for more details about this change.

Closes #246

@rwjblue rwjblue added this to the v3.0.0 milestone Oct 31, 2019
* Recent versions of ember-data (3.12+) will automatically use
  `ember-fetch` (or global `fetch`) if present, and does not need
  special logic around `najax`
* New applications (as of [email protected]) include `ember-fetch` by
  default, and do **not** include jQuery by default. Considering that
  `najax` is a `jQuery.ajax` emulation API, I think this library should
  avoid exposing it.
* `najax` (as a dependency of this library) is difficult for the host
  application to control (e.g. get their own version), and would be
  better if they provided it themselves (via `buildSandboxGlobals` API)
* Providing backwards compatibility is **very** easy (add `najax:
  require('najax')` via `buildSandboxGlobals`)
* It seems better to "follow a spec" (suggesting `fetch` usage)

For applications that still need `najax` (for example, if they are using
an older ember-data version), they can do (example uses new
`buildSandboxGlobals` API):

```js
const najax = require('najax');

let fastboot = new FastBoot({
  distPath: 'some/path/to/dist',
  buildSandboxGlobals(globals) {
    return Object.assign({}, globals, {
      najax,
    });
  }
});
```

fwiw you need najax even in current versions of ember-data if you don't have ember-fetch installed. This change trolled our fastboot tests in ember-data itself because when we test the jquery scenario we add @ember/jquery and remove ember-fetch, once we bump to fastboot 3 this fails (see embermap/ember-cli-fastboot-testing#471 and ember-fastboot/ember-cli-fastboot#829).

It's not clear how to add najax back in from this example for ember-cli-fastboot-testing.
