The following code will create an empty Product object:

var p = Apperyio.getModel("Product");
console.log(p);

{partNumber: 0, name: ""}

The following code will create a model object with default data:

var modelData = {"name":"Smartphone", "partNumber": 1000};
var p = Apperyio.getModel("Product", modelData);
console.log(p);

{partNumber: 1000, name: "Smartphone"}
