Cheat Sheet

Defining a model

var Model = require('LazyBoy');

Model.define('User', {
  name: String
  surname: {type: String, default: "Rambo"}
})

Creating and saving a model

var user = Model.create('User', {name: "John", surname: "Rambo"});

user.save(function (err, saved_user) {
    // .. do some other stuff here
})

Finding a model

Finding by Id

var user_id = "123456";

var User = Model('User');
User.find(user_id, function (err, user) {
    // .. do something with the user
})

Find all

Will return an array of all documents that fit the criteria

var User = Model('User');
User.all(function (err, users) {
    // .. do something with the user
})

Find by criteria

Will return an array of all documents that fit the criteria

var User = Model('User');
User.where(name,"Ben", function (err, users) {
    // .. do something with the user
})
