Meteor Models
This is a basic proof of concept of the way meteor models could work. It builds on the code in this pull request.
To use, do something like
var Post = function(attrs) {
Model.call(this, attrs);
}
Post.prototype = new Model({});
Post.prototype.constructor = Post;
var Posts = Post._collection = new Meteor.Collection('posts', null, null, Post);Then 2 things happen, firstly you can use the Model class to save and update posts:
var post = new Post({title: 'A great post'});
post.save();And when you query the collection, you will get posts out:
var post = Posts.findOne(); // a Post object
post.update_attribute('title', 'a new title');For some ideas on how this could be expanded in the future, see the model class from the League project.
