/**
 * @author Ed Spencer
 *
 * A Model represents some object that your application manages. For example, one might define a Model for Users,
 * Products, Cars, or any other real-world object that we want to model in the system. Models are registered via the
 * {@link Ext.ModelManager model manager}, and are used by {@link Ext.data.Store stores}, which are in turn used by many
 * of the data-bound components in Ext.
 *
 * Models are defined as a set of fields and any arbitrary methods and properties relevant to the model. For example:
 *
 *     Ext.define('User', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: [
 *             {name: 'name',  type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'age',   type: 'int'},
 *             {name: 'phone', type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'alive', type: 'boolean', defaultValue: true}
 *         ],
 *
 *         changeName: function() {
 *             var oldName = this.get('name'),
 *                 newName = oldName + " The Barbarian";
 *
 *             this.set('name', newName);
 *         }
 *     });
 *
 * The fields array is turned into a {@link Ext.util.MixedCollection MixedCollection} automatically by the {@link
 * Ext.ModelManager ModelManager}, and all other functions and properties are copied to the new Model's prototype.
 *
 * Now we can create instances of our User model and call any model logic we defined:
 *
 *     var user = Ext.create('User', {
 *         name : 'Conan',
 *         age  : 24,
 *         phone: '555-555-5555'
 *     });
 *
 *     user.changeName();
 *     user.get('name'); //returns "Conan The Barbarian"
 *
 * # Validations
 *
 * Models have built-in support for validations, which are executed against the validator functions in {@link
 * Ext.data.validations} ({@link Ext.data.validations see all validation functions}). Validations are easy to add to
 * models:
 *
 *     Ext.define('User', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: [
 *             {name: 'name',     type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'age',      type: 'int'},
 *             {name: 'phone',    type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'gender',   type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'username', type: 'string'},
 *             {name: 'alive',    type: 'boolean', defaultValue: true}
 *         ],
 *
 *         validations: [
 *             {type: 'presence',  field: 'age'},
 *             {type: 'length',    field: 'name',     min: 2},
 *             {type: 'inclusion', field: 'gender',   list: ['Male', 'Female']},
 *             {type: 'exclusion', field: 'username', list: ['Admin', 'Operator']},
 *             {type: 'format',    field: 'username', matcher: /([a-z]+)[0-9]{2,3}/}
 *         ]
 *     });
 *
 * The validations can be run by simply calling the {@link #validate} function, which returns a {@link Ext.data.Errors}
 * object:
 *
 *     var instance = Ext.create('User', {
 *         name: 'Ed',
 *         gender: 'Male',
 *         username: 'edspencer'
 *     });
 *
 *     var errors = instance.validate();
 *
 * # Associations
 *
 * Models can have associations with other Models via {@link Ext.data.association.HasOne},
 * {@link Ext.data.association.BelongsTo belongsTo} and {@link Ext.data.association.HasMany hasMany} associations.
 * For example, let's say we're writing a blog administration application which deals with Users, Posts and Comments.
 * We can express the relationships between these models like this:
 *
 *     Ext.define('Post', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: ['id', 'user_id'],
 *
 *         belongsTo: 'User',
 *         hasMany  : {model: 'Comment', name: 'comments'}
 *     });
 *
 *     Ext.define('Comment', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: ['id', 'user_id', 'post_id'],
 *
 *         belongsTo: 'Post'
 *     });
 *
 *     Ext.define('User', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: ['id'],
 *
 *         hasMany: [
 *             'Post',
 *             {model: 'Comment', name: 'comments'}
 *         ]
 *     });
 *
 * See the docs for {@link Ext.data.association.HasOne}, {@link Ext.data.association.BelongsTo} and
 * {@link Ext.data.association.HasMany} for details on the usage and configuration of associations.
 * Note that associations can also be specified like this:
 *
 *     Ext.define('User', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: ['id'],
 *
 *         associations: [
 *             {type: 'hasMany', model: 'Post',    name: 'posts'},
 *             {type: 'hasMany', model: 'Comment', name: 'comments'}
 *         ]
 *     });
 *
 * # Using a Proxy
 *
 * Models are great for representing types of data and relationships, but sooner or later we're going to want to load or
 * save that data somewhere. All loading and saving of data is handled via a {@link Ext.data.proxy.Proxy Proxy}, which
 * can be set directly on the Model:
 *
 *     Ext.define('User', {
 *         extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
 *         fields: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
 *
 *         proxy: {
 *             type: 'rest',
 *             url : '/users'
 *         }
 *     });
 *
 * Here we've set up a {@link Ext.data.proxy.Rest Rest Proxy}, which knows how to load and save data to and from a
 * RESTful backend. Let's see how this works:
 *
 *     var user = Ext.create('User', {name: 'Ed Spencer', email: 'ed@sencha.com'});
 *
 *     user.save(); //POST /users
 *
 * Calling {@link #save} on the new Model instance tells the configured RestProxy that we wish to persist this Model's
 * data onto our server. RestProxy figures out that this Model hasn't been saved before because it doesn't have an id,
 * and performs the appropriate action - in this case issuing a POST request to the url we configured (/users). We
 * configure any Proxy on any Model and always follow this API - see {@link Ext.data.proxy.Proxy} for a full list.
 *
 * Loading data via the Proxy is equally easy:
 *
 *     //get a reference to the User model class
 *     var User = Ext.ModelManager.getModel('User');
 *
 *     //Uses the configured RestProxy to make a GET request to /users/123
 *     User.load(123, {
 *         success: function(user) {
 *             console.log(user.getId()); //logs 123
 *         }
 *     });
 *
 * Models can also be updated and destroyed easily:
 *
 *     //the user Model we loaded in the last snippet:
 *     user.set('name', 'Edward Spencer');
 *
 *     //tells the Proxy to save the Model. In this case it will perform a PUT request to /users/123 as this Model already has an id
 *     user.save({
 *         success: function() {
 *             console.log('The User was updated');
 *         }
 *     });
 *
 *     //tells the Proxy to destroy the Model. Performs a DELETE request to /users/123
 *     user.destroy({
 *         success: function() {
 *             console.log('The User was destroyed!');
 *         }
 *     });
 *
 * # Usage in Stores
 *
 * It is very common to want to load a set of Model instances to be displayed and manipulated in the UI. We do this by
 * creating a {@link Ext.data.Store Store}:
 *
 *     var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
 *         model: 'User'
 *     });
 *
 *     //uses the Proxy we set up on Model to load the Store data
 *     store.load();
 *
 * A Store is just a collection of Model instances - usually loaded from a server somewhere. Store can also maintain a
 * set of added, updated and removed Model instances to be synchronized with the server via the Proxy. See the {@link
 * Ext.data.Store Store docs} for more information on Stores.
 *
 * @constructor
 * Creates new Model instance.
 * @param {Object} data An object containing keys corresponding to this model's fields, and their associated values

     * The id generator to use for this model. The default id generator does not generate
     * values for the {@link #idProperty}.
     *
     * This can be overridden at the model level to provide a custom generator for a model.
     * The simplest form of this would be:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *          requires: ['Ext.data.SequentialIdGenerator'],
     *          idgen: 'sequential',
     *          ...
     *      });
     *
     * The above would generate {@link Ext.data.SequentialIdGenerator sequential} id's such
     * as 1, 2, 3 etc..
     *
     * Another useful id generator is {@link Ext.data.UuidGenerator}:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *          requires: ['Ext.data.UuidGenerator'],
     *          idgen: 'uuid',
     *          ...
     *      });
     *
     * An id generation can also be further configured:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *          idgen: {
     *              type: 'sequential',
     *              seed: 1000,
     *              prefix: 'ID_'
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * The above would generate id's such as ID_1000, ID_1001, ID_1002 etc..
     *
     * If multiple models share an id space, a single generator can be shared:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModelX', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *          idgen: {
     *              type: 'sequential',
     *              id: 'xy'
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModelY', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
     *          idgen: {
     *              type: 'sequential',
     *              id: 'xy'
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * For more complex, shared id generators, a custom generator is the best approach.
