Why is there a model and an entity?

[alper]

I don't get why this duplication is there and it's confusing which to use in any given situation.

Hey @alper, basically Model represents a row of record in database. Whereas Entity glue all the specifications (columns info, primary key info, model info, etc.) of a database table using a unit struct.

Here, now I ended up with this: <foursquare_gmaps_mappings::Entity as Trait>::post::ActiveModel

Totally unclear what to import where and how.

[billy1624]

Why not import post::ActiveModel into the scope then use it directly?

[alper]

Now I have indeed: entity:: foursquare_gmaps_mappings::ActiveModel that I'm using.
