Exports
@lumjs/simple-data
This simply re-exports the classes from the model and cache modules
as Model and Cache respectively. It's a quick way to get all of the
currently exported modules in a single import.
@lumjs/simple-data/model
A base class for building data models in a way that is at least slightly less convoluted than the @lumjs/proxy-model package. Classes extending this simply generate (customizable) accessor properties on instances.
Unlike the aforementioned package, this does not include any pre-defined
type converters, but using functions from the [@lumjs/mongo-utils] package
(or similar libraries) is fairly easy to set up by adding explicit accessors
to your model classes, or by using an optional setupProps() method.
At some point I plan to make an optional property accessor factory, as well as some plugin packages to make the process of defining customized accessors even easier than it already is.
To give an idea of how much simpler the code is, over half the lines in the main class file are documentation comments!
@lumjs/simple-data/cache
An extremely minimalist class for making simple data caches.
This extends the JS Map class, overriding the get() method so that you
can specify a closure function that will return a value to be cached if the
specified key was not already found in the map entries. That's it! If you
want more features than that, you can write a class that extends this.
