# DatX
DatX is an opinionated JS/TS data store. It features support for simple property definition, references to other models and first-class TypeScript support.
---
## Basic usage
```typescript
import { Collection, Model, Field } from '@datx/core';
class Person extends Model {
public static type = 'person'; // Unique name of the model class
@Field()
public name!: string; // A normal property without a default value
@Field()
public surname!: string;
@Field({ toOne: Person })
public spouse?: Person; // A reference to a Person model
public get fullName() {
// Standard JS getter
return `${this.name} ${this.surname}`;
}
}
class AppData extends Collection {
public static types = [Person]; // A list of models available in the collection
}
const store = new AppData();
const john = store.add(new Person({ name: 'John', surname: 'Smith' })); // Add a model instance to the store
const jane = store.add({ name: 'Jane', surname: 'Smith', spouse: john }, Person); // Add a model to the store
```
## Getting started
```bash
npm install --save @datx/core
```

### Polyfilling
The lib makes use of the following features that are not yet available everywhere. Based on your browser support, you might want to polyfill them:
- [Symbol.for](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol)
- [Object.assign](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign)
- [Array.prototype.find](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/find)
[How to add the polyfills](https://datx.dev/docs/troubleshooting/known-issues#the-library-doesnt-work-in-internet-explorer-11).
## Concepts
The library contains two main classes - [`Model`](https://datx.dev/docs/api-reference/model) and [`Collection`](https://datx.dev/docs/api-reference/collection).
A collection contains models of any kind (they should however be listed in the `types` property), while a model can be in a single collection (but doesn't need to be in any).
Models also include some useful [methods](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/with-actions) and [properties](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/with-meta), but if they're in collision with your data/logic, you can use a [`PureModel`](https://datx.dev/docs/api-reference/pure-model) class.
## Mixins
Mixins are additional plugins that can enhance the regular models and collections. Available mixins:
- [`withActions`](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/with-actions) (model) - Adds some helper methods to the model - already included in the `Model` class, but not in the `PureModel` class
- [`withMeta`](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/with-meta) (model) - Adds some helpful meta data to the model - already included in the `Model` class, but not in the `PureModel` class
- [`withPatches`](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/with-patches) (model, collection) - Adds patch support to models and collections
- [`datx-jsonapi`](https://datx.dev/docs/mixins/jsonapi-mixin) (model, collection and view) - Adds the [JSON API](https://jsonapi.org/) features to the model, collection and view
To check out what are the planed future mixins, check out [the issues](https://github.com/infinum/datx/labels/mixins).
