Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

The “Magic” component of candy (github.com/SFEley/candy), repurposed to make this a “weak object” that can take any attribute. Assigning any attribute will add it to the object’s hash (and then be POSTed to JasonDB on the next save)

    q.since = opts[:since] if opts[:since]          
  end

  q
end

.get_by_key(key, mode = :eager) ⇒ Object

returns the JasonObject by directly querying the URL if mode is :lazy, we return a GHOST, if mode is :eager, we return a STALE JasonObject

.method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

here we will capture: members_of(object) (where object is an instance of a class that this class can be a member of) find_by_<property>(value) Will return a JasonDeferredQuery for this class with the appropriate data filter set
