Method: TinkitBaseNode#initialize

Defined in:
lib/tinkit_base_node.rb

#initialize(init_params = {}) ⇒ TinkitBaseNode

Normal instantiation can take two forms that differ only in the source for the initial parameters. The constructor could be called by the user and passed only user data, or the constructor could be called by a class collection method and the initial parameters would come from a datastore. In the latter case, some of the parameters will include information about the datastore (model metadata).
