Minimal Example
===============

.. code-block:: python

from dstore import MemoryStore, Model, var, mod

class Car( Model ):
_namespace = "cars.make"
_vars = [
var.RowID,
var.String( "manufacturer", 32, mods = [ mod.NotNull() ] ),
var.String( "make", 32, mods = [ mod.NotNull() ] ),
var.Number( "year", mods = [ mod.NotNull(), mod.Min( 1950 ), mod.Max( 2017 ) ] ),
]

# Create the MemoryStore instance, and add Models to it
store = MemoryStore( [ Car ] )
store.init_app()
store.connect()
store.create_all()

# Create a new Car, then retrieve it using filter and all
Car( manufacturer = "Holden", make = "Commodore", year = 2010 ).add()
holdens = Car.filter( manufacturer = "Holden" )
cars = Car.all()

# Destroy all instances and shut down the application
store.destroy_all()
store.disconnect()
store.destroy_app()
