Basic model type

Describe the feature

Hi,

I wanted to implement a type-safe method to insert data into the repository. But after checking the type definitions of pinia-orm, I haven't found a type that will represent the basic state of the model. I was expecting to find something like: Record<keyof Model, any>

Lets take a look at this example:

export class Song extends Model {
  static entity = 'song';

  @Uid()
  declare id: string;
}

add(song: Song) {
  this.repo.insert(song);
}

If I try to insert data into repo, I will get the following error:
Argument of type '{}' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Song'.
Type '{}' is missing the following properties from type 'Song': id, _meta, $self, $entity, and 39 more.

Yes, I can use Element istead of Song as type of parameter, but this type is not type-safe, it doesn't represent actual model field.

Can you create a type that will allow me to insert data type-safe?
Bad:
.add({ id: 1, foo: 'bar' }) //BAD
.add({ id: 1, }) //GOOD

I think this is difficult to make because the fields in the model are set dynamically. There is PR there some1 tried to achieve what you are describing. But this PR has never finsihed.

This should now be resolved with v1.9.0
