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'`
- `discriminator`: A property of modelTo, representing the actual
modelFrom to be looked up and defined
dynamically
- generated by default as `selector + 'Type'`
