Flag for bypassing timestamps

[servel333]

For other readers, I was able to get around this in a sort-of convoluted way but that works.

No timestamps in a save:

var saveWithoutTimestamps = function(Model, modelAttributes, saveAttributes, saveOptions) {
  var model = new Model(modelAttributes);
  model.hasTimestamps = false;
  return model.save(saveAttributes, saveOptions);
};

var Model = ...;
saveWithoutTimestamps(Model, { attr: "value" })
  // No createdAt or updatedAt is set
  .then( ... )
  .catch( ... );

Optional timestamps in save

var saveModel = function(Model, modelAttributes, saveAttributes, saveOptions) {
  var model = new Model();
  var timestamps = model.timestamp(saveOptions);
  model.hasTimestamps = false;
  saveAttributes = _.defaults({}, saveAttributes, timestamps);
  model.set(modelAttributes);
  return model.save(saveAttributes, saveOptions);
};

var Model = ...;
saveModel(Model, { attr: "value" }, { createdAt: new Date() })
  // createdAt is set to the date passed in
  // updatedAt is set to the default value normally set by the model.
  .then( ... )
  .catch( ... );

Wouldn't this work?

var MyModel = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  hasTimestamps: true
})

new MyModel({foo: 'bar'}, {hasTimestamps: false}).save()

Possibly. I wasn't aware you could pass options into a model like that.

I also don't know how long that has been supported, but it's there: http://bookshelfjs.org/#Model :)
