Package Exports

moddle
moddle/lib/ns
moddle/lib/types

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (moddle) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

moddle

A utility library for working with meta-model based data structures.

What is it good for?

moddle offers you a concise way to define meta models in JavaScript. You can use these models to consume documents, create model elements and perform model validation.

A moddle description is a simple JSON file that describes types, their properties and relationships:

{
  "name": "Cars",
  "uri": "http://cars",
  "prefix": "c",
  "types": [
    {
      "name": "Base",
      "properties": [
        { "name": "id", "type": "String", "isAttr": true }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "Root",
      "superClass": [ "Base" ],
      "properties": [
        { "name": "cars", "type": "Car", "isMany": true }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "Car",
      "superClass": [ "Base" ],
      "properties": [
        { "name": "name", "type": "String", "isAttr": true, "default": "No Name" },
        { "name": "power", "type": "Integer", "isAttr": true },
        { "name": "similar", "type": "Car", "isMany": true, "isReference": true }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

moddle allows you to instantiate that definition and create objects from it:

var Moddle = require('moddle');

var cars = new Moddle([ carsJSON ]);

var taiga = cars.create('c:Car', { name: 'Taiga' });

console.log(taiga);
// { $type: 'c:Car', name: 'Taiga' };


var cheapCar = cars.create('c:Car');

console.log(cheapCar.name);
// "No Name"


// really?
cheapCar.get('similar').push(taiga);

Then again, moddle allows you to perform introspection on model instances, too.

var carDescriptor = cheapCar.$descriptor;

console.log(carDescriptor.properties);
// [ { name: 'id', type: 'String', ... }, { name: 'name', type: 'String', ...} ... ]
