Pure Model

PureModel is a model without any metadata or methods on itself. The goal is to have a model that is as close to the Plain JavaScript Object as possible.

To get additional functionality, you can either use model utils, enhance the model with mixins, or use the Model.

PureModel doesn't have any dynamic properties or methods, but has some static ones:

• static type: IType - The model type
• static autoIdValue: IIdentifier - The starting id if auto ID is enabled (default is 0)
• static enableAutoId: boolean - Should the auto ID be generated if no ID is provided (default is true)
• static getAutoId(): IIdentifier - Returns the next auto ID. Default behaviour is to decrease the autoIdValue by one each time (first model has id -1, the second one -2, etc.)
• static toJSON(): IType - Returns the model type - used for serialisation of the model
• static preprocess(data: object): object - Function used to preprocess the data before the model is initialised. By default it doesn't do anything.
• constructor(rawData: IRawModel = {}, collection?: Collection) - Constructor of the model. The first argument is a raw model or an object with the data that should be added to the new model. The second (optional) argument is a collection instance if the model should be added to it.
