/*
  Currently, you just register your model namespace, and Bumble loops through the folder 
  and makes a list of models that way. I'm moving it to where the user has to register
  the models they want to show. It's more reliable/explicit that way.
  
  The question is now how to associate the Admin class with the Model. In this first
  example, behind the scenes I was decorating the model with the admin class and forwarding any 
  call that wasn't on the admin class to the model. That would theoretically allow me
  to act like an Admin class was a model. However it's problematic.
*/

// Config
return [
  'page' => [
    'Monarkee\Models\Page' => 'Monarkee\ModelAdmin\PageAdmin'
  ],
  
  // Or this
  ['Monarkee\Models\Page' => 'Monarkee\ModelAdmin\PageAdmin']
];

// ================================================================

/*
  Here's the second approach. Smaller configuration. Instead of decorating I just maintain
  an admin property on the model and the user implements a bumble() method which points
  to the admin class. This means I can use the Eloquent class like before and requires 
  a lot less hand holding.
*/

// Config
return [
  'page' => 'Monarkee\Models\Page'
];

// Model
public function bumble()
{
  return $this->hasAdmin('Monarkee\ModelAdmin\PageAdmin');
}

Page.php

<?php

class Page extends BumbleModel
{
  public function bumble()
  {
    return $this->hasAdmin('Monarkee\ModelAdmin\PageAdmin');
  }
}

I.e. the admin has knowledge of the model but the model doesn't have knowledge of the admin
