Parse attributes from db before creating object

[deepwell]

I think it would be very handy to be able to add a parse function after an object has been retrieved before instantiating it.

My use case is that the database has field names with underscores, "field_name", but in JavaScript, and the API returns them as camel case "fieldName".

This is exactly what bookshelf.js supports with parse/format: http://bookshelfjs.org/#Model-parse

I just remembered you could use mapsTo in your field definition to avoid this problem. You need it for each field, but its one way to do it.
