  A number of property level validators are registered automatically, i.e added to each DataProperty.validators property
  based on {{#crossLink "DataProperty"}}{{/crossLink}} metadata.  For example,

  - DataProperty.dataType -> one of the 'dataType' validator methods such as Validator.int64, Validator.date, Validator.bool etc.
  - DataProperty.maxLength -> Validator.maxLength
  - DataProperty.isNullable -> Validator.required (if not nullable)

  @class Validator
  **/

  /**
  Validator constructor - This method is used to create create custom validations.  Several
  basic "Validator" construction methods are also provided as static methods to this class. These methods
  provide a simpler syntax for creating basic validations.

  Many of these stock validators are inspired by and implemented to conform to the validators defined at
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.dataannotations.aspx

  Sometimes a custom validator will be required.
  @example
  Most validators will be 'property' level validators, like this.
  @example
      // v is this function is the value to be validated, in this case a "country" string.
      var valFn = function (v) {
          if (v == null) return true;
          return (core.stringStartsWith(v, "US"));
      };
      var countryValidator = new Validator("countryIsUS", valFn, {
          displayName: "Country", 
          messageTemplate: "'%displayName%' must start with 'US'" 
      });

      // Now plug it into Breeze.
      // Assume em1 is a preexisting EntityManager.
      var custType = metadataStore.getEntityType("Customer");
      var countryProp = custType.getProperty("Country");
      // Note that validator is added to a 'DataProperty' validators collection.
      prop.validators.push(countryValidator);
  Entity level validators are also possible
  @example
      function isValidZipCode(value) {
          var re = /^\d{5}([\-]\d{4})?$/;
          return (re.test(value));
      }

      // v in this case will be a Customer entity
      var valFn = function (v) {
          // This validator only validates US Zip Codes.
          if ( v.getProperty("Country") === "USA") {
              var postalCode = v.getProperty("PostalCode");
              return isValidZipCode(postalCode);
          }
          return true;
      };
      var zipCodeValidator = new Validator("zipCodeValidator", valFn,
          { messageTemplate: "For the US, this is not a valid PostalCode" });

      // Now plug it into Breeze.
      // Assume em1 is a preexisting EntityManager.
      var custType = em1.metadataStore.getEntityType("Customer");
      // Note that validator is added to an 'EntityType' validators collection.
      custType.validators.push(zipCodeValidator);
  What is commonly needed is a way of creating a parameterized function that will itself
  return a new Validator.  This requires the use of a 'context' object.
  @example
      // create a function that will take in a config object
      // and will return a validator
      var numericRangeValidator = function(context) {
          var valFn = function(v, ctx) {

  Breeze substitutes context values and functions for the tokens in the messageTemplate when preparing the runtime error message;
  'displayName' is a pre-defined context function that is always available.

  Please note that Breeze substitutes the empty string for falsey parameters. That usually works in your favor.
  Sometimes it doesn't as when the 'min' value is zero in which case the message text would have a hole
  where the 'min' value goes, saying: "... an integer between the values of and ...". That is not what you want.

  To avoid this effect, you may can bake certain of the context values into the 'messageTemplate' itself
  as shown in this revision to the pertinent part of the previous example:
  @example
      // ... as before
      // ... but bake the min/max values into the message template.
      var template = breeze.core.formatString(
          "'%displayName%' must be a number between the values of %1 and %2",
          context.min, context.max);
      return new Validator("numericRange", valFn, {
          messageTemplate: template,
          min: context.min,
          max: context.max
      });

  @param validatorFn.context.value {Object} The value being validated.
  @param validatorFn.context.name {String} The name of the validator being executed.
  @param validatorFn.context.displayName {String} This will be either the value of the property's 'displayName' property or

  @param validatorFn.context.messageTemplate {String} This will either be the value of Validator.messageTemplates[ {this validators name}] or null. Validator.messageTemplates
  is an object that is keyed by validator name and that can be added to in order to 'register' your own message for a given validator.
  The following property can also be specified for any validator to force a specific errorMessage string
  @param [validatorFn.context.message] {String} If this property is set it will be used instead of the 'messageTemplate' property when an
  error message is generated.

  @param [context] {Object} A free form object whose properties will made available during the validation and error message creation process.
  This object will be passed into the Validator's validation function whenever 'validate' is called. See above for a description
  of additional properties that will be automatically added to this object if not otherwise specified.

  that provide a variety of services including validation and change tracking.

  An EntityAspect will almost never need to be constructed directly. You will usually get an EntityAspect by accessing
  an entities 'entityAspect' property.  This property will be automatically attached when an entity is created via either
  a query, import or EntityManager.createEntity call.
  @example
      // assume order is an order entity attached to an EntityManager.
      var aspect = order.entityAspect;
      var currentState = aspect.entityState;

  @event arrayChanged
  @param added {Array of Entity} An array of all of the entities added to this collection.

  @example

  Predicates are often useful when you want to combine multiple conditions in a single filter, such as

      var pred = Predicate.create("CompanyName", "startswith", "C").and("Region", FilterQueryOp.Equals, null);
      var query = new EntityQuery("Customers")

  @example
  More complicated queries can make use of nested property paths
  @example
      var query = new EntityQuery("Products")
        .where("Category.CategoryName", "startswith", "S");
  or OData functions - A list of valid OData functions can be found within the {{#crossLink "Predicate"}}{{/crossLink}} documentation.
  @example
      var query = new EntityQuery("Customers")
        .where("toLower(CompanyName)", "startsWith", "c");
  or to be even more baroque
  @example
      var query = new EntityQuery("Customers")
        .where("toUpper(substring(CompanyName, 1, 2))", FilterQueryOp.Equals, "OM");
  @method where
  @param predicate {Predicate|property|property path, operator, value} Can be either

    - a single {{#crossLink "Predicate"}}{{/crossLink}}

    - or the parameters to create a 'simple' Predicate

    - a property name, a property path with '.' as path seperators or a property expression {String}
    - an operator {FilterQueryOp|String} Either a  {{#crossLink "FilterQueryOp"}}{{/crossLink}} or it's string representation. Case is ignored
    when if a string is provided and any string that matches one of the FilterQueryOp aliases will be accepted.
    - a value {Object} - This will be treated as either a property expression or a literal depending on context.  In general,
    if the value can be interpreted as a property expression it will be, otherwise it will be treated as a literal.
    In most cases this works well, but you can also force the interpretation by making the value argument itself an object with a 'value' property and an 'isLiteral' property set to either true or false.
    Breeze also tries to infer the dataType of any literal based on context, if this fails you can force this inference by making the value argument an object with a 'value' property and a 'dataType'property set
    to one of the breeze.DataType enumeration instances.

  This method takes a snapshot of an EntityManager that can be stored offline or held in memory.

  into another EntityManager at some later time.

  Metadata are included in an export by default. You may want to exclude the metadata
  especially if you're exporting just a few entities for local storage.
  @example
      var bundle = em1.exportEntities(arrayOfSelectedEntities, {includeMetadata: false});
      window.localStorage.setItem("goodStuff", bundle);
  You may still express this option as a boolean value although this older syntax is deprecated.
  @example
      // Exclude the metadata (deprecated syntax)
      var bundle = em1.exportEntities(arrayOfSelectedEntities, false);
  You can export all entities of one or more specified EntityTypes.
  @example
      // Export all Customer and Employee entities (and also exclude metadata)
      var bundle = em1.exportEntities(['Customer', 'Employee'], {includeMetadata: false});
  All of the above examples return an export bundle as a string which is the default format.
  You can export the bundle as JSON if you prefer by setting the `asString` option to false.
  @example
      // Export all Customer and Employee entities as JSON and exclude the metadata
      var bundle = em1.exportEntities(['Customer', 'Employee'],
