# Models
|
|
|
|
The `models` root folder contains all the model files, i.e. files containing all
|
|
the models. **Models** here, refers to the classes that handle the data, its
|
|
validation and updation and a bunch of other stuff.
|
|
|
|
Each model directly or indirectly extends the `Doc` class from
|
|
`fyo/model/doc.ts` so for more info check that file and the associated types
|
|
in `fyo/model/types.ts`.
|
|
|
|
A model class can used even if the class body has no content, for example
|
|
`PurchaseInvoiceItem`. Else the model used will default to using `Doc`. The
|
|
class can also be used to provide type information for the field types else they
|
|
default to the catch all `DocValue` example:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
class Todo extends Doc {
|
|
title?: string;
|
|
date?: Date;
|
|
completed?: boolean;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While this has obvious advantages, the drawback is if the underlying fieldtype
|
|
changes this too will have to be changed.
|
|
|
|
The data stored by the models is decided by the schema passed to it's
|
|
constructor. Check `schemas/README.md` for info on this.
|
|
|
|
## Adding Stuff
|
|
|
|
When adding stuff to `models/**` make sure that it isn't importing any Vue code
|
|
or other frontend specific code globally. This is cause model file tests will
|
|
directly use the the `Fyo` class and will be run using `mocha` on `node`.
|
|
|
|
Importing frontend code will break all the tests. This also implies that one
|
|
should be wary about transitive dependencies.
|
|
|
|
It should also not import the `Fyo` object (singleton) from `src`, where ever
|
|
`fyo` is required in models it should be passed to it.
|
|
|
|
_Note: Frontend specific code can be imported but they should be done so, only
|
|
using dynamic imports i.e. `await import('...')`._
|
|
|
|
## Regional Models
|
|
|
|
Regional models should as far as possible extend the base model and override
|
|
what's required.
|
|
|
|
They should then be imported dynamicall and returned from `getRegionalModels` in
|
|
`models/index.ts` on the basis of `countryCode`.
