Use ES Classes instead of Backbone extend

any updates on this? I'm just getting to try mirage, and the extend APIs are ..... rough

For example:

import { Model, hasMany, belongsTo } from 'ember-cli-mirage';

export default class MiragePost extends Model {
  @belongsTo('user') author;

  @belongsTo subreddit;

  @hasMany('comment') comments;
}

kind of like what ember-data done for their relationship macros

No updates yet but getting rid of our extend module is high priority. Will be at top of list when we're done with the homepage after "launching" miragejs.

For now I would not use ES6 classes at all with Mirage + just stick with .extend as in the docs 👍

FYI: Transferred this to our Discuss repo, our new home for more open-ended conversations about Mirage!

If things become more concrete + actionable we can create a tracking issue in the main repo.
