Sample application and model structure for large application?

[tgriesser]

@amitava82 - I agree that a wiki would be useful, I'm working on a sample app that I hope to get out there sometime soon. I had actually taken a good look at the landscape of ORM's in node, which is what prompted me to write this - but in terms of major differentiating factors, the main ones would be:

• Transaction support
• Built on top of a query builder (http://knexjs.org), rather than mixing the two together into a single package
• Eager/Nested eager relation loading (avoiding the N+1 query problem)
• Relations are defined dynamically as methods on the model, which allows for really expressive and dynamic relations (e.g. with different constraints)
• No forced validation scheme / typecasting (though hooks and events to easily provide these where necessary)

In terms of project structure, that would depend a bit on your app. I have been grouping models/collections into files as they seem to make sense related to the application, though I guess some of that might be addressed by a sample application.

Thanks! I'm digging into docs. Looking forward to the sample app.

+1, has a comparison page been created? Would love to see if things changed over the past year as both projects progressed.
