Resticle idea: Additional gimmicks

index.js

import { createApi, Schema } from 'resticle'

const api = createApi('/api')

// Don't Repeat Yourself: Small middleware function to automatically provide `created_at` and `updated_at` timestamps
api.use(function timestampsMiddleware (api) {
  api.extendModels((model, schema) => {
    // Extend schema if timestamps are not already defined
    schema.created_at = schema.created_at || Schema.Date()
    schema.updated_at = schema.updated_at || Schema.Date()
  })
})

const User = api.createModel('user', {
  // we don't specify `email`, `id` or other common fields here, you can just use them out-of-the-box
  lastLogin: Schema.Date(),
  blogUrl: Schema.Href()
})

fetchUser()

async function fetchUser () {
  const user = await User.fetch(123)
  console.log(`Thanks to Schema.Date() resticle is now able to transparently construct a Date object out of the timestamp sent by server:`)
  console.log(user.lastLogin, typeof user.lastLogin)
}

Hint: Resticle is able to construct the request href automatically when doing User.fetch(123) by using {api.href}/{model.namePlural}/{id} by default. model.namePlural is {model.name}s by default.

Idea: Provide different plural name like this: api.createModel('man|men')
