Meteor Models

This is a basic proof of concept of the way meteor models could work. It builds on the code in this pull request.

To use, do something like

  var Post = function(attrs) {
    Model.call(this, attrs);
  }
  Post.prototype = new Model({});
  Post.prototype.constructor = Post;

  var Posts = Post._collection = new Meteor.Collection('posts', null, null, Post);

Then 2 things happen, firstly you can use the Model class to save and update posts:

  var post = new Post({title: 'A great post'});
  post.save();

And when you query the collection, you will get posts out:

  var post = Posts.findOne(); // a Post object
  
  post.update_attribute('title', 'a new title');

For some ideas on how this could be expanded in the future, see the model class from the League project.
