Typescript

gstore works great with Typescript projects. You simply need to create a Type for your schema and pass it when instantiating your Schema.
Let see it with an example
// user.schema.ts
import GstoreNode from 'gstore-node';
const gstore = GstoreNode();
interface UserType {
userName: string;
email: string;
age?: number; // optional
tags?: string[]; // optional
birthday?: Date; // optional
}
// Pass it on Schema creation
const schema = new Schema<UserType>({
userName: { type: String },
email: { type: String },
age: { type: Number, optional: true },
tags: { type: Array, optional: true },
birthday: { type: Date, optional: true }
});
const User = gstore.model('User', schema);
The `UserType` interface is then read in many places
// Entity
const user = new User({ name: 'John' }); // TS error as "email" is not provided
// Queries
const query = User.query();
query.filter('age', '<', 'wrong string'); // TS error as "age" should be a number
query.filter('wrongProperty', 'some value'); // TS error as "wrongProperty" does not exist in User
// We can also specify the format of the query response ("JSON" is the default and thus optional)
const query = User.query<'ENTITY'>(); // Set the response format to "ENTITY"
query.run({ format: 'ENTITY' }).then(result => {
const { entities } = result;
const [user] = entities;
// "user" is an Entity instance with its methods and properties
user.save();
const name = user.name; // string
});
// Shortcut queries (`list()` and `findAround()`) response
// are automatically typed from the `format` option provided
User.list({ format: 'ENTITY' }).populate().then((result) => {
const { entities } = result;
const [user] = entities;
const age = user.age; // number
user.save(); // method from the entity instance
});

Non explicit schemas

It you want to allow other properties apart from those declared (see explicitOnly option in the Schema options), this is how you would create your Model:
type UserType = {
userName: string;
email: string;
age?: number; // optional
tags?: string[]; // optional
birthday?: Date; // optional
} & {[propName: string]: any}; // Allow any other properties
// Schema with "explicitOnly" set to "false"
const schema = new Schema<UserType>({
userName: { type: String },
email: { type: String },
age: { type: Number, optional: true },
tags: { type: Array, optional: true },
birthday: { type: Date, optional: true }
}, { explicitOnly: false }); // explicitOnly set to "false"
const User = gstore.model('User', schema);
