Model: add -m option to change model: granite, crecto or jennifer about amber HOT 7 CLOSED

It's actually pretty interesting that there's no built in model. This doesn't have to be another MVC. Having it handle routes, controllers, views, middleware, etc.. is quite a bit already. Being able to just plug in your own way of handling models and other business logic type stuff would be nice. Maybe there could be a separate shard for a "amber" type way of handling this stuff, but by default not in the amber shard.

Perhaps we should remain ORM/REPO agnostic and add generators for different libraries?

@oz We are considering to support Crecto for a Repo pattern type of models and Granite/Jennifer for Active Record Pattern with generators we still thinking about this one

At the moment, I think this is the best we can do until we discuss technical details.

That being said, seeing how the router is inspired from Phoenix, I though I'd find Crecto in there too. As long as it is easy to swap parts, I think that an "all-in-one" opinionated model makes sense (even if I had a different opinion on the ORM 😉).

Here is the example app created by @fridgerator for using crecto with amber:

I am going to close this since we support granite and crecto. We can open a new ticket if someone wants to add jennifer.
