 ## Introduction

 Sharkitek is a Javascript / TypeScript library designed to ease development of client-side models.

-With Sharkitek, you define the architecture of your models by specifying their properties and their types.
-Then, you can use the defined methods like `serialize`, `deserialize`, `patch` or `serializeDiff`.
+With Sharkitek, you define the architecture of your models by applying decorators (which define their type) on your class properties.
+Then, you can use the defined methods like `serialize`, `deserialize` or `serializeDiff`.
+
+Sharkitek makes use of decorators as defined in the [TypeScript Reference](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/decorators.html).
+Due to the way decorators work, you must always set a value to your properties when you declare them, even if this value is `undefined`.

 ```typescript
-class Example extends s.model({
-	id: s.property.numeric(),
-	name: s.property.string(),
-})
+class Example extends Model
 {
+	@Property(SNumeric)
+	@Identifier
+	id: number = undefined;
+	
+	@Property(SString)
+	name: string = undefined;
 }
 ```

 * A person.
 */

-	firstName: s.property.string(),
-	email: s.property.string(),
-	createdAt: s.property.date(),
-	active: s.property.boolean(),

 {
+	@Property(SNumeric)

+
+	@Property(SString)
+	firstName: string = undefined;
+
+	@Property(SString)
+	email: string = undefined;
+	
+	@Property(SDate)
+	createdAt: Date = undefined;
+	
+	@Property(SBool)
 	active: boolean = true;
 }
 ```

+**Important**: You _must_ set a value to all your defined properties. If there is no set value, the decorator will not
+be applied instantly on object initialization and the deserialization will not work properly.
+
 ```typescript
 /**
 * An article.
 */
-class Article extends s.model({

 ```

@ -101,42 +94,41 @@ Sharkitek defines some basic types by default, in these classes:
 - `DecimalType`: number in the model, formatted string in the serialized object.
 - `DateType`: date in the model, ISO formatted date in the serialized object.
 - `ArrayType`: array in the model, array in the serialized object.
- `ObjectType`: object in the model, object in the serialized object.
 - `ModelType`: instance of a specific class in the model, object in the serialized object.

-When you are defining a property of a Sharkitek model, you must provide its type by instantiating one of these classes.
+When you are defining a Sharkitek property, you must provide its type by instantiating one of these classes.

 ```typescript
-class Example extends s.model({
-	foo: s.property.define(new StringType()),
-})
+class Example extends Model
 {
-	foo: string;
+	@Property(new StringType())
+	foo: string = undefined;
 }
 ```

-To ease the use of these classes and reduce read complexity,
-properties of each type are easily definable with a function for each type.
+To ease the use of these classes and reduce read complexity, some constant variables and functions are defined in the library,
+following a certain naming convention: "S{type_name}".

- `BoolType` => `s.property.boolean`
- `StringType` => `s.property.string`
- `NumericType` => `s.property.numeric`
- `DecimalType` => `s.property.decimal`
- `DateType` => `s.property.date`
- `ArrayType` => `s.property.array`
- `ObjectType` => `s.property.object`
- `ModelType` => `s.property.model`
+- `BoolType` => `SBool`
+- `StringType` => `SString`
+- `NumericType` => `SNumeric`
+- `DecimalType` => `SDecimal`
+- `DateType` => `SDate`
+- `ArrayType` => `SArray`
+- `ModelType` => `SModel`

-Type implementers should provide a corresponding function for each defined type. They can even provide
-multiple functions or constants with predefined parameters.
-(For example, we could define `s.property.stringArray()` which would be similar to `s.property.array(s.property.string())`.)
+When the types require parameters, the constant is defined as a function. If there is no parameter, then a simple
+variable is enough.
