General usage issues

[tcrosen]

I would love to use this library but I'm have a lot of issues working with it. One of the biggest problems is the inconsistency between the README and the example code.

For starters, the only dependency mentioned is lodash, yet it also seems to require active-support and async to run, and also downloads meld (though it doesn't appear to require this).

The README also shows a completely different syntax for declaring models from the example code. I'm finding I can get one way to work at runtime but fails at testing and the other works for testing but fails at runtime.

There are a lot of desirable features in this library but right now it's a bit messy to use and that's holding me back from actively working with it. If you have some time please give the docs and examples some love, thanks!

I agree -- this is sort of a bummer because it looks like it could be pretty awesome but in it's present form it's basically unusable... I'm giving up in frustration after spending several hours trying to get it to work.

Yes. very frustrating getting it to work, I'm not sure if there are any alternatives that offer associations?

Hi guys, is it possible to add custom validators? I am looking at the documentation and cant really find something.
