Support for more than one Model

[BCkmason]

I've created two separate Model objects mapped to two different Dynamo tables.

When I'm done, both Models wind-up referencing the same Schema instance.

I think this is related to how prototypes are being used in model.js, but I'm not sure.

Is there something special I have to do to use more than one table with dynamodb-model?

For example

1. create any two Model objects mapped to two different DynamoDB tables as described in the README.md.

2. Add the following two methods to DynamoModel in model.js (using the same technique as the existing getItem/putItem/etc. methods).

DynamoModel.prototype.showTableName = function () {
  console.log(tableName);
}

DynamoModel.prototype.showSchema = function () {
  console.log(schema);
}

3. Then run this in a test file

var model1 = require('./models/model1');

console.log(Model1.showSchema());

var Model2 = require('./models/model2');

console.log(Model1.showTableName());
console.log(Model1.showSchema());
console.log(Model2.showTableName());
console.log(Model2.showSchema());

Notice that both Model1 and Model2 wind-up sharing the same table name and schema.

You are right and this has been heavily refactored in the next version, which has not been pushed to Github yet.

Cool. Looking forward to the new version. Do you know about when that will drop? I'm trying to decide whether to make local modifications until then.

[extrabacon]

I am unsure. This project was initially started to ease the transition from MongoDB to DynamoDB, which has been postponed. The next version has huge changes that were never pushed. Maybe I could push them on an alternate branch so you can try them out.

[BCkmason]

Works for me. That'd be awesome.

The branch is called vnext. Models now return instances of DynamoQuery. The tests are incomplete.

Thanks!

Integrating some more powerful schema validation with something like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonschema could have been awesome.
