@scbd/generics v0.0.3

Generics v2

Completed Features (as discussed at meetings + in addition to some of my own ideas)

• NPM package
• History of changes out side of collection
• Metas out side of collection
• Validation that complies with security policies
• all schemas and definitions loaded so definition only declared once.
• Edge concept - all references to other documents will be in an edge schema
  • benefits for keeping track of dead references to deleted or archived records
  • establishing relationships of data
  • enable easy triggering of indexation of parents who may index some child info
• EdgeFixed - references the history version of the document and never changes.
• lString collection - all lStrings in one place for easier translations of data.
• Data structure follows an object oriented inheritance structure. Inspired by schema.org founded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex. I argue that object orientation and inheritance is not maintainable. Further I argue functional programing is better. These arguments do not apply to data structures though! Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex.
• url collection for external references, one collection for easy 404 checking.
• separation of middleware by concerns (ability to overwrite each)
  • sanitize
