This patch does not use `.bind(this)`, useful if you are having errors like "model.create is not a function" or "this.bind is not a function".

## Why
[Bookshelf.js](https://github.com/tgriesser/bookshelf) is awesome. However,
we found ourselves extending `bookshelf.Model` for the same reasons over and
over - parsing and formatting (to and from DB) niceties, adding timestamps, and
validating data on save, for example. Since these are problems you'll likely
have to solve for most use cases of Bookshelf, it made sense to provide a
convenient set of core model features.

### Please note
* `bookshelf-modelbase` will not force you to use it for all your models.
If you want to use it for some and not others, nothing bad will happen.

* `bookshelf-modelbase` requires you to pass in an initialized instance
of bookshelf, meaning that you can configure bookshelf however you please.
Outside of overriding `bookshelf.Model`, there is nothing you can do to
your bookshelf instance that will break `bookshelf-modelbase`.

### Features
* Adds timestamps (`created_at` and `updated_at`)

* Validate own attributes on save using [Joi](https://github.com/hapijs/joi).
You can pass in a validation object as a class attribute when you extend
`bookshelf-modelbase` - see below for usage.

* Naive CRUD methods - `findAll`, `findOne`, `findOrCreate`, `create`, `update`, and `destroy`

## Usage
```javascript
var db        = require(knex)(require('./knexfile'));
var bookshelf = require('bookshelf')(db);
var Joi = require('joi');
// Pass an initialized bookshelf instance
var ModelBase = require('bookshelf-modelbase')(bookshelf);
// Or initialize as a bookshelf plugin
bookshelf.plugin(require('bookshelf-modelbase').pluggable);

var User = ModelBase.extend({
  tableName: 'users',

  // validation is passed to Joi.object(), so use a raw object
  validate: {
    firstName: Joi.string()
  }
});

User.create({ firstName: 'Grayson' })
.then(function () {
  return User.findOne({ firstName: 'Grayson' }, { require: true });
})
.then(function (grayson) {
  // passes patch: true to .save() by default
  return User.update({ firstName: 'Basil' }, { id: grayson.id });
})
.then(function (basil) {
  return User.destroy({ id: basil.id });
})
.then(function () {
  return User.findAll();
})
.then(function (collection) {
  console.log(collection.models.length); // => 0
})

```

### API

#### model.create

```js
/**
 * Insert a model based on data
 * @param {Object} data
 * @param {Object} [options] Options for model.save
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)}
 */
create: function (data, options) {
  return this.forge(data).save(null, options);
}
```

#### model.destroy

```js
/**
 * Destroy a model by id
 * @param {Object} options
 * @param {String|Integer} options.id The id of the model to destroy
 * @param {Boolean} [options.require=false]
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)} empty model
 */
destroy: function (options) {
  options = extend({ require: true }, options);
  return this.forge({ [this.prototype.idAttribute]: options.id })
    .destroy(options);
}
```

#### model.findAll

```javascript
/**
 * Select a collection based on a query
 * @param {Object} [query]
 * @param {Object} [options] Options used of model.fetchAll
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Collection)} Bookshelf Collection of Models
 */
findAll: function (filter, options) {
  return this.forge().where(extend({}, filter)).fetchAll(options);
}
```

#### model.findById

```javascript
/**
 * Find a model based on it's ID
 * @param {String} id The model's ID
 * @param {Object} [options] Options used of model.fetch
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)}
 */
findById: function (id, options) {
  return this.findOne({ [this.prototype.idAttribute]: id }, options);
}
```

#### model.findOne

```js
/**
 * Select a model based on a query
 * @param {Object} [query]
 * @param {Object} [options] Options for model.fetch
 * @param {Boolean} [options.require=false]
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)}
 */
findOne: function (query, options) {
  options = extend({ require: true }, options);
  return this.forge(query).fetch(options);
}
```

#### model.findOrCreate
```js
/**
  * Select a model based on data and insert if not found
  * @param {Object} data
  * @param {Object} [options] Options for model.fetch and model.save
  * @param {Object} [options.defaults] Defaults to apply to a create
  * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)} single Model
  */
findOrCreate: function (data, options) {
  var Model = this
  return Model.findOne(data, extend(options, { require: false }))
    .then(function (model) {
      var defaults = options && options.defaults;
      return model || Model.create(extend(defaults, data), options);
    });
}
```

#### model.update

```js
/**
 * Update a model based on data
 * @param {Object} data
 * @param {Object} options Options for model.fetch and model.save
 * @param {String|Integer} options.id The id of the model to update
 * @param {Boolean} [options.patch=true]
 * @param {Boolean} [options.require=true]
 * @return {Promise(bookshelf.Model)}
 */
update: function (data, options) {
  options = extend({ patch: true, require: true }, options);
  return this.forge({ [this.prototype.idAttribute]: options.id }).fetch(options)
    .then(function (model) {
      return model ? model.save(data, options) : undefined;
    });
}
```

#### model.upsert
```js
/**
 * Select a model based on data and update if found, insert if not found
 * @param {Object} selectData Data for select
 * @param {Object} updateData Data for update
 * @param {Object} [options] Options for model.save
 */
upsert: function (selectData, updateData, options) {
  var Model = this
  return Model.findOne(selectData, extend(options, { require: false }))
    .then(function (model) {
      return model
        ? model.save(
          updateData,
          extend({ patch: true, method: 'update' }, options)
        )
        : Model.create(
          extend(selectData, updateData),
          extend(options, { method: 'insert' })
        )
    });
}
```
