Add API allowing consumers (e.g. LoopBack) to remove a Model from all
juggler registries:
- ModelBuilder's models
- ModelBuilder's definitions
- Connector registry of models
Rework the code building model constructors to leverage `Function` class
and dynamically emit a constructor function named after the model.
Before this change, all model classes were called "ModelConstructor",
which made debugging difficult.
After this change, a model class for model "User" is called "User.
Because not all valid model names are also valid JavaScript identifiers,
we implement a simple sanitization technique (replacing characters like
"-", "." and ":" with underscore "_") and fall back to legacy
"ModelConstructor" if the model name is still not a valid JS identifier.
The uniq function does currently not work when the database is mongodb.
In the case of mongodb, the function will receive an array of bson
object of bson type ObjectID. The indexOf function will return a
different index, even if the mongodb ID is the same, as it is wrapped
in the ObjectID. This commit first transforms any ObjectID in the array
to a string representation. We can then use indexOf to check for
uniqueness.
* updateOnly, forceId changes
* support getUpdateOnlyProperties
* fixup! fix updateOrCreate in forceId mode
The contract of `updateOrCreate` is expecting a full object instance
to be passed to the callback.
The current implementation was creating an empty instance and
calling updateAttributes under the hood. As a result, the callback
was called with the attributes being updated only.
In order to preserve existing behaviour, we have to always build
a full initial instance by calling `findById`.

In #1298, the spec/doc for polymorphic relations was reviewed
**hasX relation**
- `type`: **hasMany**
- `as`: redefines **this** relation's name (optional)
- `model`: **modelTo**
- `polymorphic`:
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `String`
- matching **belongsTo** relation name
- `foreignKey` is generated as `polymorphic + 'Id'`,
- `discriminator` is generated as `polymorphic + 'Type'`
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Object`
- `as`: **DEPRECATED** should display a warning,
replaced by `selector`
- `selector`: should match **belongsTo** relation name if the
latter is defined with {polymorphic: true}
- (required) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are **NOT** provided
- (extraneous) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are provided
- `foreignKey`: A property of modelTo, representing the fk to
modelFrom's id.
- generated by default as `selector + 'Id'`
- `discriminator`: A property of modelTo, representing the actual
modelFrom to be looked up and defined
dynamically
- generated by default as `selector + 'Type'`
---
**belongsTo relation**
- `type`: **belongsTo**
- `as`: redefines **this** relation's name (optional)
- `model`: **NOT EXPECTED**: should throw an error at
relation validation
- `polymorphic`:
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Boolean`
- `foreignKey` is generated as `relationName + 'Id'`,
- `discriminator` is generated as `relationName + 'Type'`
- typeOf `polymorphic` === `Object`
- `as`: **DEPRECATED**: should display a warning,
replaced by `selector`
- `selector`:
- (required) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are **NOT** provided
- (extraneous) if both foreignKey and discriminator
are provided
- `foreignKey`: A property of modelTo, representing the fk to
modelFrom's id.
- generated by default as `selector + 'Id'`

The PR superseeds the existing deepMerge algorithm used to merge
settings of parent and child models with a new algorithm that allows
to specify the way each setting is merged or mixed-in.
This configuration of this algorithm uses a merge policy specification.
The `getMergePolicy()` helper of BaseModelClass can be used to ease
model merge configuration.
Next is presented the expected merge behaviour for each option.
NOTE: This applies to top-level settings properties
- Any
- `{replace: true}` (default): child replaces the value from parent
- assignin `null` on child setting deletes the inherited setting
- Arrays
- `{replace: false}`: unique elements of parent and child cumulate
- `{rank: true}` adds the model inheritance rank to array
elements of type Object {} as internal property `__rank`
- Object {}:
- `{replace: false}`: deep merges parent and child objects
- `{patch: true}`: child replaces inner properties from parent
The recommended merge policy is returned by getMergePolicy()
when calling the method with option `{configureModelMerge: true}`.
The legacy built-in merge policy is returned by `getMergePolicy()`
when avoiding option `configureModelMerge`.
NOTE: it also delivers ACLs ranking in addition to the legacy
behaviour as well as fixes for settings `description` and `relations`
`getMergePolicy()` can be customized using model's setting
`configureModelMerge` as follows:
```
{
// ..
options: {
configureModelMerge: {
// merge options
}
}
// ..
}
```
`getMergePolicy()` method can also be extended programmatically as
follows:
```
myModel.getMergePolicy = function(options) {
const origin = myModel.base.getMergePolicy(options);
return Object.assign({}, origin, {
// new/overriding options
});
};
```
