Allow direct save of changes on embedded model to be persisted on
parent document.
Person.embedsOne(Address);
Person.findById(someId)
.then(function(p){
var address = p.addressItem();
address.street = 'new street'
// This will now persist changes on parent document
return address.save();
})
The setting controls the strict mode used for embedded property types,
for example the type of "address" property in this model definition:
modelBuilder.define('TestEmbedded', {
name: 'string',
address: {
street: 'string',
},
});

create() triggers

- after save
updateById() triggers
- before save

destroy() triggers
- before delete
- after delete
The implementation here is intentionally left with less features
than the regular DAO methods provide, the goal is to get a partial
(but still useful!) version released soon.
Limitations:
- `before save` & `after save` hooks don't provide `ctx.isNewInstance`
- async validations are not supported yet
- `persist` and `loaded` hooks are not triggered at all
- `before delete` hook does not provide `ctx.where` property and
it's not possible to change the outcome of `destroy()` using this
hook. Note that regular DAO does support this.
- updating embedded instances triggers update of the parent (owning)
model, which is correct and expected. However, the context provided
by `before save` and `after save` hooks on the parent model is sort of
arbitrary and may include wrong/extra data. The same probably applies
to the scenario when deleting embedded instances triggers update of
the parent model.

Make automatic validation optional on all CRUD methods in a loopback
model. This can be done in 2 ways
- set `automaticValidation` in the model settings
- set `validate` on the options passed when calling the crud methods
The options take precedence on the model setting.
By default the automatic validation remains true to be backwards
compatible
Add datasource and model setting `normalizeUndefinedInQuery`
to determine how it will handle undefined values. Options:
- nullify : converts undefined to null
- throw : throw an error on undefined value
- ignore : strip the key where undefined value is found
The default operation is to strip the key.
