Class Hierarchy of Entities

Class Hierarchy of Entities I: The type of the generated invalid modddel - V: The type of the generated valid modddel

Let's say you want to create a Person Entity. Person will either directly extend SimpleEntity, or it will extend a subclass of IterableEntity or Iterable2Entity. They are all subclasses of Entity, which is a subclass of BaseModddel (the base class of all Modddels).

ValidPerson, which extends Person, will implement ValidEntity, which implements ValidModddel.

InvalidPerson, which extends Person, will implement InvalidEntity, which implements InvalidModddel.

NB 1 : The generated classes (Person, InvalidPerson...) will define other properties and methods than the ones already defined by the superclasses. (Ex: map, maybeMap, copyWith... and all the others)

NB 2 : Notice how there is no association between ValidModddel/InvalidModddel and BaseModddel, and also no association between ValidEntity/InvalidEntity and Entity. That's on purpose because those interfaces can be directly implemented in some cases, and we don't want the BaseModddel methods to be inherited. (See the models that are always valid / invalid section).
