Usage

BEM.Model.decl('fashion-model', {
    attributes: {
        name: {
            type: 'String'
        }
    }
});

var model = BEM.blocks['fashion-model'].create({
    name: 'Kate'
});

model.get('name'); //Kate

Extend

Add declaration for existent one:

BEM.Model.decl('fashion-model', {
    attributes: {
        sename: {
            type: 'String'
        }
    },

    getFullName: function () {
        return [this.get('name') + this.get('sename')].join(' ');
    }
});

var model = BEM.blocks['fashion-model'].create({
    name: 'Kate',
    sename: 'Moss'
});

model.getFullName(); //Kate Moss

Inherit:

BEM.Model.decl('uppercased-model', 'fashion-model', {
    getFullName: function () {
        return this.__base().toUpperCase();
    }
});

Nested models and collections

BEM.Model.decl('podium', {
    attributes: {

        //nested
        currentModel: {
            type: 'Model',
            modelType: 'fashion-model'
        },

        //collections
        avaibleModels: {
            type: 'ModelsList',
            modelType: 'fashion-model'
        }
    }
});

Pass models by client id (for browser render only)

//bh template
var model = BEM.blocks['fashion-model'].create();
ctx.content({
    block: 'view',
    js: {
        modelId: model.cid
    }
});

//BEM.DOM declaration
var model = BEM.blocks['fashion-model'].getOne(this.params.modelId);

Find models by storage id

var model = BEM.blocks['fashion-model'].getAny(this.params.mongoId);

//load data from storage
model.fetch().done();

Define storage

BEM.Model.decl('fashion-model', {
   storage: {
        insert: function (model) {
            //...
        },

        update: function (model) {
            //...
        },

        find: function (model) {
            //...
        },

        remove: function (model) {
            //...
        }
   }
});
