new Document

new Document

accepts

DataModel

DataModel

explicitly because

new DataModel

new DataModel

does;

  _initializeSource(data, options={}) {
    if ( data instanceof DataModel ) data = data.toObject();

  _initializeSource(data, options={}) {
    if ( data instanceof DataModel ) data = data.toObject();

And then

createDocuments

createDocuments

explicitly accepts

Document

Document

s but really accepts any compatible

DataModel

DataModel

toJSON

toJSON

gets called and runs

toObject

toObject

. So basically both accept just the same.

ConstructorDataInInput

ConstructorDataInInput

and

ConstructorDataAsAnObjectInLifecycle
