Prop

A prop represents a base configuration object for a single property that is intended to be used by a validator or a model.

All properties are required unless optional() or required(false) is called.

// Support validating primitives in arrays
Prop
  .array()
  .path('department_names')
  .required(false)
  .example([
    'General'
  ])
  .props(Prop.string())
  .description('Contains the department names')

Validator

This will generate one-off generic validators.

ModelManager

This will generate a set of models that are able to reference each other.

Every model must have a model config. A model config will look something like the following:

{ name: 'VisitorJoin'
, type: 'visitor_join'
, includeType: true
, props: [
    Prop.date().path('created_at')
  , Prop.ref('Visitor').path('visitor')
  ]
}

ModelManager(opts)

Example:

'use strict'

const Manager = require('@helpdotcom/nano-model')
const manager = new Manager({
  configs: [
    { name: 'Visitor'
    , type: 'visitor'
    , props: [
        { name: 'Visitor'
        , type: 'visitor'
        , props: [
            Prop.uuid().path('id')
          , Prop.string().path('name')
          ]
        }
      , { name: 'VisitorJoin'
        , type: 'visitor_join'
        , includeType: true
        , props: [
            Prop.date().path('created_at')
          , Prop.ref('Visitor').path('visitor').optional()
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
})

const out = manager.generate()

// To write all of the models, one can do something like this:
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
const MODELS_DIR = path.join(process.cwd(), 'models')

for (const item of out.values()) {
  const fp = path.join(MODELS_DIR, item.filename)
  fs.writeFileSync(fp, item.code, 'utf8')
}
define(conf)
generate()

Returns a <Map> where the key is the model name and the value is an object like:

{ code: ''                // Will be the actual code
, filename: 'visitor.js'  // Will be the filename (does not include the path)
}
