## Installation

```bash
$ npm install data-synth
```

## Basic Usage

```coffeescript
DS = require 'data-synth'

class Song extends DS.Model
  @name: @attr 'string'
  
class MusicLibrary extends DS.Model
  @songs: @hasMany Song

music = new MusicLibrary
music.set 'songs', [ (new Song name: 'November Rain') ]
music.serialize()
```

## Advanced Usage

For advanced usage examples, be sure to check out
[yangforge](http://github.com/saintkepha/yangforge) where `data-synth`
is utilized for metacompilation of YANG schemas to auto-generate
runtime data model instances, which in turn enables auto-generation of
various interfaces (such as CLI, HTTP/REST/JSON, etc.)
