   While working on porting the Small Technology Foundation web site¹ to Kitten², I took the opportunity to pull out base Model and Collection classes that I’ll likely end up including in Kitten proper:

   • Model: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Model.js
   • Collection: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Collection.js

   To see them in use, here’s the base Posts class (with RSS generation) that extends Collection:
   https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Posts.js

   And here’s the concrete EventPosts collection class that extends Posts:
   https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/EventPosts.js

   And the EventPost (showing an implementation of a calculated property):
   https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/EventPost.js

   So all this is possible (persisting and reading back typed model collections, etc.) thanks to JSDB¹ (JavaScript database), a zero-dependency, transparent, in-memory, streaming write-on-update JavaScript database I wrote for the Small Web that persists to a JavaScript transaction log and is included as as first-class citizen in Kitten.

   PS. For a much gentler introduction to persistence in Kitten, see the Kitten Persistence tutorial:

   Enjoy! :kitten:💕
