DiscModel

DiscModel needs a better name. I suck at names. We'll go with it for now until I ( or you, dear reader ) come up with a better one.

example

The example folder contains what should come close to a working example of how to use it.

example:

WTF is it?

Basically, it's a constructor that has a base Model, and n+1 discriminator models added to it. The only meaningful usage for it so far, and probably ever, is that future calls to findOneAndUpdate on any of the Models contained within ( base or discriminator ) can be made through one call.

TL;DR

It basically obsolves you of the need to specify which specific model to call findOneAndUpdate on.

Bugs

If you find a bug, or think it's stupid, or want to send me adoration and praise, please feel free to open an issue. Want to contribute? Yeah, that too.
