Usergrid Objects for Node.js

A persistence library inspired by Ruby on Rails for accessing the Apache Usergrid database from Node.js.

Defining an entity in Usergrid is as simple as:

var Usergrid = require('usergrid-objects')(config);
var is = Usergrid.validators;

var PersonClass = Usergrid.define(Person);
PersonClass.attrs('name');
PersonClass.validates({
 name: [ is.required ]
});
Person() { }

Using it is just as simple. This creates (and deletes) a new Person in Usergrid:

PersonClass.findOrCreate({ name: 'Scott' }, function(err, scott) {
  assert(scott.name === 'Scott');
  scott.delete();
});

And it even supports entity relationships (see HasMany methods below):

var DogClass = Usergrid.define(Dog);
DogClass.attrs('name');
DogClass.validates({
 name: [ is.required ]
});
function Dog() { }

PersonClass.hasMany('dogs', DogClass);

PersonClass.create({ name: 'Scott' }, function(err, scott) {

  var lassie = Dog.new({ name: 'Lassie' });

  scott.addDog(lassie, function(err) {

    scott.deleteAllDogs();
    
  });
});

And much, much more! Currently supports all the following Rails-like methods:
