This will generate a set of models that are able to reference each other.

, props: [

, Prop.ref('Visitor').path('visitor')
]
}

Example:
'use strict'
const Manager = require('@helpdotcom/nano-model')
const manager = new Manager({
configs: [
{ name: 'Visitor'
, type: 'visitor'
, props: [
{ name: 'Visitor'
, type: 'visitor'
, props: [
Prop.uuid().path('id')
, Prop.string().path('name')

, includeType: true
, props: [
Prop.date().path('created_at')
, Prop.ref('Visitor').path('visitor').optional()
]
}
]
}
]
})
const out = manager.generate()
// To write all of the models, one can do something like this:
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
const MODELS_DIR = path.join(process.cwd(), 'models')
for (const item of out.values()) {
const fp = path.join(MODELS_DIR, item.filename)
fs.writeFileSync(fp, item.code, 'utf8')
}
