            return cb(undefined, [{amount: 10, id: 19274}]);

    },
    // properties can be nested as much as you like
    attributes: {
        members: function (cb) {
            
            // do something else async
            setTimeout(function () {
           
                // err = undefined, data = [{...}]
                return cb(undefined, [{name: "Cervantes", id: 88831}]); 
            }, 2000);
        }

fill(populateMe, function (err, populatedObject) {

    /**
