Method: Dbee::Base.to_model

Defined in:
lib/dbee/base.rb

.to_model(key_chain, name = nil, constraints = [], path_parts = []) ⇒ Object

This method is cycle-resistant due to the fact that it is a requirement to send in a key_chain. That means each model produced using to_model is specific to a set of desired fields. Basically, you cannot derive a Model from a Base subclass without the context of a Query. This is not true for configuration-first Model definitions because, in that case, cycles do not exist since the nature of the configuration is flat.
