Peek inside cascade

Here is a simple example of defining a User model:

import { Model } from "@warlock.js/cascade";

export class User extends Model {
  /**
   * The collection name
   * Must be defined explicitly.
   */
  public static collection = "users";
}

A quick example of creating a user:

import { User } from "src/models/user";

export async function createUser() {
  const user = await User.create({
    name: "Hasan Zohdy",
    email: "[email protected]",
  });

  console.log(user.data);
}

Outputs something similar to:

{
  "id": 1231412,
  "_id": "fagtrw43qwedasjoijwq",
  "name": "Hasan Zohdy",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "createdAt": "2023-06-01 00:00:00",
  "updatedAt": "2023-06-01 00:00:00"
